THESIS: Comparing the visual effects of lighting in stop motion and 3D animation.

Stop Motion Example: Paranorman
3D Animation Example: Wreck It Ralph

1. Paranorman used actual lights to create the lighting
1. They could control the lights how they wanted physically
2. However, there are limitations to lighting a scene in stop motion
3. To solve limitations, they used CG which makes lighting in stop motion flawed
2. Wreck It Ralph used CG lighting
1. All possible lighting situations are possible
2. However, most of the lighting is make believe in these films so it's hard to determine what is correct or not
3. Although CG lighting is easier to solve than stop motion lighting, it is easier to make up/trick your audience into thinking it is real meaning you don't follow the actual physics of it
