A Study on the Existence of CGI Technology: Focused on Rotoscope and Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

In this paper, I will deal with the existence of visual effect technology. This article includes the value of homogeneity between animations and films. In this intention, I want to emphasize the fact that technology is connected to the issue of aesthetic politics and the icon is producing the functions as a cultural symbol. In particular, this paper focuses on the technical characteristics and historical relationship of the Bray-Hurd process and the Rotoscope system which are able to be intervened by method of scientific thought. Rotoscope system introduces the simulation of mathematical equations applied to CGI technology so that the social origin and historical technology implicate cultural technology. Also in this article, I want to compare Avy Warburg's Phatosformel with the movement of the Rotoscope, which born the historical flow from painting, animation, to film.
