Abstract :

Animation has long played an integral part in generating an emotional response to cinematic story-telling. But now the mold
has become more fragmented, and we are beginning to immerse ourselves into virtual worlds, and distort our own. What
role then do animation plays in manipulating and managing emotional levels? As humans, we interact through connection,
and ways of establishing that connection can be joy, sadness and anger. Is there a danger they are enhanced through audio and
visual manipulation in the virtual space? Is there an onus on the auteur to show restraint and responsibility within cognitive
stimulus? The explanation is to explore the connective aspects of the emotional states, the fabric of story-telling and the virtual
constructs we begin to enter.
