I also compared animation styles. 3D animation (like Pixar) is impressive but requires complex software and rendering, which isn’t realistic for my project. Stop-motion looks great but takes too much time and resources. Which obviously leaves me with 2D animation, which I can create in Clip Studio Paint.
Within 2D, I noticed two main approaches: detailed art with shading and backgrounds, or minimalist styles that focus on movement and expression. For a student project, a simpler style seems more manageable, while still giving me room to be creative.
What I have learned
This research made me realize that my film will likely fit into the slice-of-life or fantasy genre, since both work well in short formats and don’t require complicated storytelling. I also decided to stick with a 2D, hand-drawn style because it matches the tools I have and fits the time limit.
How this will help my final project
In this case it will be 2D animation which I will be using Clip Studio Paint to create it.
