Exploration of the Artistic Expression Characteristics and AIGC Technology Application Boundaries of the Animated Short Film Glimmer

Abstract

This paper focuses on the original animated short film Glimmer, conducting an in-depth exploration of its artistic expression characteristics and the application boundaries of AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) technology. Presented in a sketch style, the film creates unique visual effects and emotional atmospheres through techniques such as lines and light-dark contrast, demonstrating the distinctive charm of the sketch style in animation creation. Meanwhile, the paper reflects on the application of AIGC technology in animation creation, pointing out its optimization potential in aspects such as character expressions, scene design, storyboard scripts, and creative sound effects. The study emphasizes that although AIGC technology brings opportunities, issues related to originality and dependence on the technology (by creators) also need attention. This paper aims to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for animation education and creation, promote the integrated development of animation art and technology, and drive innovation and progress in the field of animation creation.
