Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It encompasses various sub-fields, including human development, sports, health, clinical, social behavior, and cognitive processes.

Psychology applies sound scientific methodology to understand why people act the way that they do. People can then use that knowledge and understanding to address real-world issues.

Behaviour

Behaviour is how someone acts. It is what a person does to make something happen, to make something change or to keep things the same. Behaviour is a response to things that are happening:

internally - thoughts and feelings

externally - the environment, including other people.

Behaviour serves a purpose and has a reason, including:

communication - through use of body language, facial expressions, gestures and silence

function - to help meet a need, attract attention, gain an internal or sensory sensation, access an item or activity, or get away from something.

Psychology, often described as the study of the mind and behavior, has its roots in philosophy and physiology. It’s a field that has been around for centuries.

Behavioral science is a relatively newer term, emerging in the mid-20th century as an interdisciplinary approach to studying human and animal behavior.

Body Language

Body language is the science of nonverbal signals such as gestures, facial expressions, and eye gaze that communicate a person’s emotions and intentions.

Body language is a key part of how we communicate with each other. It helps show our feelings and attitudes, even when our words say something different. Being good at understanding body language can make conversations better and help people get along well.

Lip Sync

Lip sync is the synchronization of animated characters’ lip movements with the spoken dialogue or vocals. It is a fundamental aspect of character animation that adds realism and authenticity to the performance.

Acting & Drama Techniques

Acting is an activity in which a story is told by means of its enactment by an actor who adopts a character—in theatre, television, film, radio, or any other medium that makes use of the mimetic mode.

Drama acting technique:

Slow motion

Soliloquy (a solo speech by an actor that gives an insight into what they are thinking)

Adding narration

Use of an ‘aside’ (when a character directly addresses the audience to comment within a scene)

Breaking into song (as in Musical theatre)

Using a chorus to comment upon the action

Splitting the stage so that different spaces represent different locations

Voice

Body

Movement

After doing some research on acting techniques, I think, in addition to the above professional methods, the more important thing is body language to make the role played by the performer more fascinating. When combining psychology and behavior, think about what kind of body language can best express the role and then perform.

SyncSketch

SyncSketch is a secure collaboration platform that accelerates work and review for media files including images, videos, 360-degree content, and 3D models.

SyncSketch allows animator to upload 3D models with or without animation directly into a Review, so that animators and others can review the models interactively, in synchronization, ensuring that everyone is viewing the content the same way at the same time, without having to render out an intermediate animation.

I used SyncSketch when I was animating Challenge 2. It helped me to see if there were any problems with my animation frame by frame, and it allowed me to annotate them and correct them later. This was very helpful for the improvement of animation skills.

Characters represented onscreen

Diversity in film and television allows for better representation.

Characters in films

Characters in animation

Characters usually have more exaggerated tone and body language when they are on screen, so as to better convey emotions, especially in animation. In animation, the characters' movements are often very dramatic, and the exaggerated body language can make the audience feel the difference in the virtual world.

In films, the body language is less dramatic, and the daily range is better for the audience to get involved.
