Creación de un cortometraje animado 2D, para la revalorización de la quinua como grano ancestral.

Abstract

The aim of this research work was the production of a 2D animated short film for the re-valorization of quinoa as an ancestral grain. Taking Bruce Archer's methodology as reference, a work strategy was established which includes three phases (analytical, creative and executive ) with the production stages of a short film. It began with the gathering information, achieved through observation sheets, interviews with experts, quinoa producers and experts in other areas. All the information collected was reflected in a story, which was scripted, and then a graphic sketch called storyboard was created, which was used as a visual guide for the animation of the short film. Using the stop motion technique, illustrations and animations of the characters' movements were developed to obtain the number of pieces to be printed, with a total of 1003. A 2x1 meters setting was created and the pieces, established in the storyboard, were photographed consecutively. At the same time, the music was composed, the rhythm selected was the "albazo" because it is a musical genre from the Ecuadorian highlands. Finally, in the post-production stage, the material was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro software, all the photos were put together in consecutive order to achieve a first cut. Then the music was added to this material, color correction was applied and effects were added to facilitate the final cut and subsequent rendering. The result of this research was the creation of a short film in 2D with stop motion technique. This audiovisual material was relevant because it helps to communicate ideas in a dynamic and precise way. It was determined that the use of a production plan as a guide for the project should be applied in future audiovisual projects because it contains an orderly and synthesized process.
