Transformation

Animation to nature. Steampunk in terms of animation? What if the world was controlled by the power of magic/energy instead of mainly technological advances through electric devices. What would the world be like? Does innovation have to be along the lines of technology? What about a story element never seen before? What about... something where you input who you are, what you have done, into a game, and the way that the NPCs react to you, have something to do with that? Might even be a mind thing...convincing people to make things out of themselves.

Animators constantly separate themselves from the workplace to observe the world around them. How the world animates itself. Their job is to simply copy and hopefully represent the same item that you would find in the real world.


Reverse
The opposite of animation. To create something living and breathing. Maybe work backwards? Bring dead things to life? Dead people or animals. Animated bones. Zombies... If animators actually were necromancers? Or are they already? Though the things that modelers create were never alive before hand. Happy Birthday. Deathday. Animators kill their own creations... and reanimate it into something else. Zombimation.


Animation
Ha, a method the same as the topic. Bring to life the computer? Think outside the box. AR sculpting. What if all living things became inanimate and inanimate became animate? Repetition... repeating the same movement... That's already Motion Capture. Tell a creature on the computer to do the things you want on your computer?
