Visual Difference Between Paperman And Feast

Disney shone a new light on how society view hybrid animation with the creation of the two award-winning films, Paperman (2012) and Feast (2014). The first obvious visual difference of both films is how unique and different they appear from most animations. Disney’s creative team of artists decided to attempt to develop both Paperman and Feast to have both traditional hand drawn animation (2D) and CGI (3D) work together. The main problem about hybrid animations is that an animation media is frequently dominated and overpowered by the other. Most hybrid animations today have a difficult time finding an equilibrium between the combination of 2D and 3D, therefore making them look very jarring and awkward to look at. For instance, when a 3D asset is introduced into a flat 2D world, the 3D asset seem to have a difficult time blending in with the world it’s introduced in, the 3D asset seems to have its own “physics”,
Paperman utilises the traditional hand-drawn animation and while Feast uses the painterly style of a hand-painted illustration with CGI. The two films managed to set off a new standard for the creation of the medium, hybrid animation. These two films will be used as a basis or a reference point regarding to their process, look or style when compared to other hybrid animations in the discussion of this essay to build an argument.

Both films, paperman and Feast, genuinely looks as though an actual artist have made it frame by frame, despite being made with a computer. “There’s something about that hand of the artist that I really admire so much, it was so expressive and it can tell such great emotion and with such simplicity” (kahrs, 2012). what's more, that is something that have not been generally found in the big screen or theatres for quite a long time and would probably be a regular thing to see in the near
