Paprika Anime Analysis
Paprika shows the dangers and
benefits of technology. Paprika shows various examples of how technology,
represented by the DC Mini, can be used to benefit humankind. Chiba uses the DC
Mini medically to treat Konakawa's recurring nightmares and ultimately resolve
his psychological conflict. The DC Mini is also a device of empowerment. Chiba
uses her alternate personality named Paprika in the dream world to help others
through psychotherapy.
Paprika also presents apocalyptic
visions of Japan through its interaction with the DC Mini. The chairman steals
the DC Mini in an attempt to merge everyone's dreams resulting in blurred lines
between reality and dreams. This presents both positive and negative aspects of
technology. The DC Mini allows Chiba to explore and display different aspects
of herself in different worlds (the real world and the technological/dream one
accessed through the DC Mini), but her two sides conflict with each other.
Paprika presents the idea of "double vision" of technology. Works

Original video animation, or
animated films and series made especially for release in home video formats,
has become a burgeoning enterprise in the entertainment realm, particularly in
Japan, where it originated. Introduce a world that supports your message -
Yamaha created an animated video series called "The Master of Torque.
" Present characters that
the audience will associate with you - A common theme in animation is the hero
or heroine. Episode One introduces something that ties to Episode Two. If it is
done well, original video animation creates a bond between the story's
characters (and its adventures) and the viewer. MTV introduced the music video
back in the 1980s, and gradually, as the first song that ever played on the
network predicted, "Video Killed the Radio Star." A well-focused
original video animation can hit a home run.
3 Mistakes to Avoid in Animation
Only Action with no Anticipation
or Aftermath, A veteran imagines the
guard position, then the elbow going back to prepare the punch (anticipation),
then the arm extended (action), then the arm going back with the elbow up
(aftermath), and finally the character returns to the guard position, breathing
slowly. Approach every action by thinking of its anticipation and aftermath.
Cluttered Timeline, A
timeline cluttered with a lot of keyframes can harm your animation.
The unnatural movement is
generated when you make an adjustment to the movement of the character by
adding keyframes to change the rhythm. For example, if you have a character
picking up a box, maybe you need the character to take a little longer to
extend the arm, then move a little faster to pick up the box.
Interpolation
curves are the answer to the natural flow of movement. Impulsive Animation, No
References Amateurs are the best practitioners of impulsive animation.
