Animation’s Impact on Life

Animation is a way of life. Okay, maybe it is not, but shouldn’t it? We always see some form of animation everywhere, whether it’s on television, in the cinema, or even the Internet for that matter. Indeed, this unique form of communication and story-telling has come a long way from way back when Mickey Mouse made his first his first appearance. What is so charming about animation that it can be timeless and still be enjoyable when we step into adulthood? Perhaps it’s the way it can be a great entertainment when we slump on our couch on those boring days? Or is it because they are pleasing to the eyes and provide relief on those bad days where our computers malfunctions and we became overheated instead of them? What makes animation what it is?

Firstly, animation derives from a combination of drawings and movements. There are a lot of frames involved in just one single minute of animation (to be exact, 24). By seeing these stationary images come to life in a few flips of the papers excites us as we had created something. The modern era has revolutionized our animation into 3-dimensional where we no longer need the skills of drawing to animate, but rather, just by creating our images through the computer. Is this more satisfying and easier to do this form of animation, or is it just laziness and our dependence on our technologies that animation has now been more influenced by 3d rather than the traditional, hand-drawn animation? Whatever our preferences, seeing animation will always be a different experience than seeing real life people act it out on screen. 

However, why is animation so important now? It has become one of the most staple parts of the creative multimedia industry. Why can’t we just tell stories through live-action, filming actors and such? There is a reason for this. With animation, we can just imagine anything to be possible, from a lovable kitten who is friends with a vegetarian vampire to a leprechaun which is a mythological creature from Ireland. True, we can just do it with costumes and special effects in live-action, but the important thing is the believability. With live-action, you would know that everything is done with special effects and costume. But with animation, it’s like you are transported into another world, because everything looks different from the real world. You are made to believe that everything in the animated world is true, at least within the context of that world. You can sum it up by saying, with animation, we can create a whole new world (reference to an animated movie, Aladdin) with new characters and tell stories, through the way we animate and move them, physically and with facial expressions.

Another great impact of animation is one the current lifestyle of today’s youth. Japanese animation or anime as it is widely known is great evidence of this effect, as we can see from fashion, social skills and even character-building. Anime provides a lot of insights to clothing designs that makes it more desirable for fashion designers to create, like Victorian-style dresses which may have been old-fashioned, but now is thought of as wonderful and sweet thanks to the way the Japanese interpret it in some animes like Kuroshitsuji. Additionally, the young adults of today who represents the majority of anime fans takes after some Japanese style of socializing based on the animes they watch like the way they talk, show affection and move away from developing a stereotypical character.

On the same token, animation also has provided numerous job opportunities to eager artists.Thirty years ago, nobody would have considered animation as a serious industry. They probably thought it was just nice to look at, but never considered to join in the production. Now, it seems everyone involved in creative multimedia is trying to get their hands on animation. What is so appealing about this industry? For one thing, most people would relate this to something fun and colourful. Why bother doing a boring routine at work in the office when you can make doodles and draw without having the boss trying to give you death stares at work?

Education might not be the first thing people would relate with animation, but it is proven that some animation productions do provide some educational messages and knowledges. For example, animes like Hetalia is reinterpretation of the world war history, but explained in a funnier and light-heartedly through human characters as the countries. TV shows like Playhouse Disney makes the world go round for kids and teaches them how to build new friendships mutually and also moral values. Moreover, animated films like Disney classics also provide messages that can be applied in real life such as being brave, honest and forgiving.

To sum it all up, animation has left a deep impact in our lives. It plays various roles like story teller, lifestyle changer, work provider and even a teacher. In our opinion, we consider animation as one of the most important aspect in our lives and we envisioned that it will become an essential part of our future and may carve it into something magical, wonderful and can be enjoyed by everyone, even by those hardcore adults who think animation is for kids. Though recently, more and more adults have come to have soft spots for animations. Hence, this current situation is a sneak peek to our glorious future when animation will take over the entertainment industry.

mind map

root and lightning

the lightning strikes the root and the root break into two

now the root become rootlightning because the root look like a lightning

flower + fly

the fly sleep on the flower

the flower now become flowerfly 

ant and fish

when these two are combined together

it become Anfish

snake + rat

combined together become Snrat

how to prevent people from entering this area

first by using sound method

place two large speaker on the gate wall 

and play the sound of the terrifying cat sound loud at a high pitch.

second by using teeth method

construct the gate with the structure of the cat's fang 

so it will look dangerous and people don't want to walk through the gate because it will harm them

third by using eyes method

on the upper side of the gate

construct the cat's eyes so it will look like someone is watching 

so people don't feel like entering the site

forth by using hairy method

whenever there is someone passing through the gate,

the very sharp and itchy cat's furs will attacked them

because of that, they will run home immediately

i can't say this word L.O.V.E?

i'm not a very expressive type of girl

i used to keep it all inside and after take a deep breath,its all gone

but for this task,

we need to write something about love

but in different way

relate the love with chili

so i try my best to express my LOVE

isn't it beautiful?

love is totally like a chili

like a RED chili.

it's spicy but it taste good

it's spicy and sometimes you feel hurts

but you still want more

but love is not always good like red chili

you always wanted red chili in your love live

red chili always the exciting ever

but remember,

you not always get what you want

what will happened is sometimes we get green chili instead of red in our life

love equals to green chili is when you stuck with someone who is you don't have any feeling toward him/her

but yet he/she is in the opposite

therefore, instead of hurting the other side,we forced our self.

however, the exciting moment,the precious time is never there between these two.

in other hand,

having the red chili is not all good

somehow we get the rotten red chili

chili that is still spicy and hot and make us feels better but in the same times,

it doesnt taste good

it's rotten

it's a bad chili!

but still

we will left undecided because we dont know either to keep it and eat or throw it in the bin.

we feel it such a waste to throw because it still usable but yet you can't swallow it.

lastly,

whatever it is,

whether we got the good or the rotten chili

its all up to us to carefully find the real red chili and that will be your chili through out your life

and hope to dried out together until the old age

“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”
“Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.”
