Blog 10 - Animation and Communication

For me, the words "animation" and "communication" mean a lot. Separately, they don't seem to have a lot in common, but with a closer look, communication plays a pivotal role in animation. In fact, animation wouldn't be possible without key elements of communication. It simply wouldn't work.

In animation, communicating to the audience is key to making it seem "real." Without body language and movement and an understanding of basic emotions, animation would appear flat and boring, incapable of appealing to an audience. However, with communication and the ability to talk to an audience through body language and movement, the audience becomes interested and emotional involved in the animation, the characters, and the scenes.
