We often hear terms like “Animation and character Movies”.This is common to be aware of, because we all have grown up watching movies like these. Isn't it! Remember the time of your childhood when you liked a character of your favourite cartoon and you started acting like them? I am sure you do.
Today's blog is all about that, and a nostalgia to be served with a comparison between both- Animation movies vs character movies.
Firstly, it is essential to understand that “Animation and character movies” are two different things, although, if you look at the creation that is where you will find similarity, but still they are distinct and this distinction makes them unique. Moreover, it shows originality in both.
Animation movie is a creation of a movie which involves images, drawings, graphics, and this all creates an illusion of movement by editing them all as well as giving them a voice to attract the audience. Animation movies allow storytellers to tell a story but in a unique way. Animation is an Art that gives life to inanimate objects.
On the other hand, character movies are completely opposite and different from the Animation. character movies have a different approach and process which involves the creation of visual art, but it could be any of them people with real character or still snaps or people with real life photographs. Sometimes, the movie can have both the animated characters and real people like in the Mogli movie. Audio voice plays an important rolehere, which helps to create an engagement between the audience and the movie. Audio is an integral part of both animation and character movies, thus, getting quality animation voice over services is critical to the success of any movie!
When we first encounter any person, if it is not real, we hear their voice and the modulation of voices keeps the conversation going and engaging and eventually builds a solid trust. This is what happens when the audience and the movies come together. Voice plays an important role which is essential in animation as well as in character movies.
How they are comparatively different is what we're gonna read, so, let’s have a closer outlook.
1- Characters: The very first difference between them is the Characters. In animation, we use images and pictures and these images are used to build up animations – 2D or 3D, however, in character actions, the story has real life characters, people don't need to draw, but have acharacter character which doesn't need to be imaginative.The content for animation is framed by the artist but because character movies already have existing character all you need is to get the shot by the cinematographer, and videographer.
2- Time Consuming: The other difference is that animation is more time consuming than the character movies. Animation is time consuming, because it takes more time to draw the character, which needs to be detailed and accurate, then framing the character, thereafter, giving it an illusion, then creating a 3D/2D animation, then a voiceover, it all takes much more time than the character movies. Although, having the same process which includes the scriptwriting, storyboards, voicing the characters the difference still exists as explained.
3- Production Costing: Production costing depends on the content of the video and the preference to release the movie. Animation and character movies, both require equal attention and quality. Which one is costlier, would actually depend on a lot of parameters – the complexity of animation, the actors deployed and so on.. So, while an animation movie might be costlier in one case, a character movie or ordinarily called as ‘movie’ could be costriled in another case.
4- Detailing: The significance of the character detailing in animation is must in order to give that visual character life. The character should not miss any lead to make the content of the movie more engaging, however, character movies don’t require this much attention and dealing when creating a character for the movie, reason being the character is already someone who is real, because the real character showcases every emotion and sequence of the story.
5- The purpose: The purpose could be easily conveyed when the story has an emotion and power to connect with the audience. A right setting of the story and the character makes the one to leave the impact and that’s what the movies are created for whether they are animated or character movies.
In conclusion, movies are a great source of entertainment and the choice of whether animation or character movie is better, is individual. Animation movies these days have left a great impact on people. They enjoy watching them and feel themselves as one of the characters in the movie.
