Animation: The reality of emotion

Abstract :

Animation has long played a integral part in generating an emotional response to cinematic storytelling but now the mold has become more fragmented, and we are beginning to immerse ourselves into virtual worlds, and distort our own. What role then does an animation play in manipulating and managing emotional levels? As humans we interact through connection, and ways of establishing that connection can be joy, sadness and anger, is there a danger they are enhanced through audio and visual manipulation in the virtual space. Is there an onus on the auteur to show restraint and responsibility within cognitive stimulus? In my talk I plan to explore the connective aspects of the emotional states, the fabric of storytelling and the virtual constructs we begin to enter.
