Abstract

Digital media Romanticism--Storytelling Storytelling--Audio-visual aids
Romanticism emerged in the mid-18th century as a way to transport the audience to a setting that couldn't be experienced in normal life. Its themes dealt with epic depictions of nature, and emphasized emotion over reason. While there was no one specific artistic style, the movement began to distance itself from idealistic representation and antiquity, and moved toward more Baroque sensibilities that emphasized form and color. The study of Romanticism and how its effects can be applied in storytelling and visualization present both opportunity and challenge. Translating the look, feel, and overarching effects of Romanticism into a digital time based narrative poses unique and challenging possibilities in storytelling and artistic direction as it pertains to 3D animation, and can aid in the creative process and visualization.
