8. Comparison between Shrek 4 & Shun the sheep
Shrek 4 is a movie presented as 3D which means represented in three dimensions and they are height, width and depth. However Shaun the sheep is made with 2D that presented in two dimensions. For example, if we had one dimension to work with, we can only move it forward and backward in line. The difference between CGI and stopmotion : Stopmotion is a series of photos that been taking with high definition camera. For example, football player is kicking the ball, the director move the player step with ball while the background behind the player, and by this they take lot of shots so to make the animation and each frame needs 10 pictures to make the animation film clear for the audience. CGI is computer generated imagery , that creates a 3D animation movies in high definition. It’s a software that creates characters that not in the world and animate them in clear asset. Now a lot of movies use CGI software so they create such like cat but it speaks a language like sometimes English, Russian and other. Also, the program has a feature that you can design the character and the designer can use it in movie to use it as real character. In addition to this, audience like both animated films because they are quite mixture of comedy and action which might meets the audience needs. Also, the target audience likes the films with more action and comedy that created with high definition quality such like 4K so all the companies that creates movies they first listen to the audience to get idea what extra features should the company have in the movie.
