From novels to films, color choices help the audience understand the underlying themes and what is trying to be expressed in a particular setting. Use color to condition your audience and tell a story between the lines. The video below will show you how color is used in some of your favorite movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Colour In Storytelling\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aXgFcNUWqX0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Build a Whole Character<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hayao-Miyazaki-Cover.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hayao-Miyazaki-Cover.jpg?resize=840%2C539&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hayao-Miyazaki-Cover\" class=\"wp-image-2207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hayao-Miyazaki-Cover.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hayao-Miyazaki-Cover.jpg?resize=300%2C193&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hayao-Miyazaki-Cover.jpg?resize=234%2C150&amp;ssl=1 234w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hayao Miyazaki is famous for his ability to create characters with whom we can relate. Whether it\u2019s Chihiro, Nausica\u00e4, Kiki, or Ashitaka, the characters are built to be whole. Faults, strengths, little quirks, and habits come together to create a character that is believable and ultimately captivating. These details are what create the lasting impressions that have affected so many animators today. Watch the video below to see more on how to build memorable characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Storytelling Techniques<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/monomyth.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"705\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/monomyth.png?resize=705%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"monomyth\" class=\"wp-image-2206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/monomyth.png?w=705&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/monomyth.png?resize=300%2C213&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/monomyth.png?resize=212%2C150&amp;ssl=1 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all stories are linear. Knowing the kind of story you want to tell opens up tons of possibilities for the way you tell it. Do you want your story to come full circle or do you want a false start? Choosing your storytelling technique will greatly affect the way your audience connects with your characters and how they react to your story overall. Consider some examples such as the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin or the film \u201cMemento\u201d to see which type suits your story best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stray From the Traditional<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, plots tend to revolve around the same cycles. Namely: Hero seeks change; Hero encounters obstacle; Hero overcomes obstacle; and conclusion. In other words, the Monomyth storytelling technique (see above). While this style is immensely popular, and for good reason, don\u2019t be afraid to venture into unknown territory. Sometimes the unexpected conclusion is the best one. Play around with different options and see what works best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iAniMagic is the perfect opportunity to test out all of these tips. Use <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/animationdesk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>and <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><a style=\"color: #00ccff;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/animationdesk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>to see how the audience reacts to the short animations you create and keep tweaking until you have a masterpiece!
