Abstract

The present report has the goal of describing all the creative, technical, and theoretical processes around the short animation film Alberto, made under the Final Project Curricular Unit of the master’s degree in Sound and Image with specialization in Computer Animation. Alberto is an animated short film made on paper and aims to explore different types of techniques and materialities, such as the distortion of perspective and the exploration of different types of media such as graphite, charcoal, and gouache. In this sense the report is divided into four essential parts, the Introduction, which consists of the author's motivations, the general information of the short film and the breakdown of the team as well as the functions that each one performs. The Approach and Treatment, where all the references used for Alberto, the methodology, and the timeline are described. The Production History, which contains the pre-production, production, and post-production. Here the entire process of what was created during the 2021/2022 school year is explained. And finally, the Critical Reflection, where the problems encountered and their solutions, the learning acquired throughout the project and the comparison of results obtained with the proposed objectives are exposed. In summary, this report will present a compilation of information and work done during this year, focusing on the Concept art, its main influences, the final visual, and the entire process of continuous transformation that this animation suffered throughout this year, from its beginning to its end.
