AFINAL, O QUE É ANIMAÇÃO NO CINEMA CONTEMPORÂNEO?

As a principle we start from the statement that animation is the precursor and basis of cinema. We intend to relate the Field of Animation with the new theories of media and digital production, which consider the dematerialization and permeability of production media and the hybridization of cinematographic, photographic and animation languages. We intend to define the limits of animation in a reality of structural and technological changes of great speed, where the knowledge and techniques settled over decades seem to lose relevance or to break. We used in this study, as main theoretical references, the works of: Arlindo Machado, Giannalberto Bendazzi, Howard Becker, Raymond Bellour and Thomas Levin. After all, we ask ourselves: what is animation?. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
