This paper analyses the communicative aspects of the look
of
contemporary Brazilian animation short movie´s characters,
using resources
from Semiology. Animation cinema became an art at the
beginning of the 20th
century. With the cultural industry, it has cemented lots
of characters in
spectator´s memories around the world. However, the high
expenses of animated
movies´ production force many artists to produce their
authorial animations as
short movies. Due to the brevity of these movies, their
creators repeatedly use
types and caricatures as main characters, presented
morphologically as signs that
can easily be recognized by most of the audiences. This
research considers the
hypothesis that the look of characters from animated short
movies is a system
designed (intentionally or not) to communicate to the
spectator messages of
prompt comprehension concerned to the narrative shown and
to the concepts
personified by the characters in the short period of time
in which they are acting.
Based on the survey of sixty main characters from
Brazilian awarded movies at
the twelve first editions of Anima Mundi festival (1993-
2004), this dissertation
investigated the existing stereotypes in recent Brazilian
animation short movies.
Then, it tried to outline ways in which the visual
elements that constitute these
stereotypes act in the signifying process of the animated
characters, working
together as a specific visual language. In order to carry
out such investigation,
the adopted methodological procedures were based on Roland
Barthes´
Semiology and Vladimir Propp´s concept of characters´
attributes.
