Outline of Final Research Achievements

An innovative material which could be a basis of making 3D stereoscopic animation was successfully created; three puppets including the two (clay and metal-joint puppet) specifically made for this study, live action figure as its guide and a person in a full-body suit repeating the same action in front of three different back grounds: shot on location, miniature set and Gray-grid set.
By pairing with any additional elements such as backgrounds, its possible combination is infinite. Thus, it has potential for further expansion towards the next generation. Furthermore, disclosing information regarding this study would benefit popularizing valuable production skill for 3D stereoscopic animation using clay and puppets.
