ANALISIS PLUGIN OTOMATISASI SHOT LIGHTING PADA FILM ANIMASI 3D LEGENDA BATANG BANGAU

Abstract

3D animation movie is an entertainment and information media that involves shot lighting process in its creation. With shot lighting, animated films look like in the real world with the atmosphere, emotions, and nuances that match the story to be conveyed. In a collaborative animation project between Asosiasi Industri Animasi Indonesia (AINAKI) and State Polytechnic of Batam, they cooperate in producing the animated film Legenda Batang Bangau, this film is part of the Kementrian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Kemendikbud) efforts to revive Indonesian folklore through animated films. In the process of animated film production, one of the shot lighting processes that is often time-consuming is the method of creating shot lighting templates and importing animation data such as character movements, properties, background sets, fx, and camera. This research aims to analyze how the Shot Builder automation plugin can improve performance in the shot lighting process using Blender software as the development platform. The results show that the use of the Shot Builder automation plugin significantly contributes to speeding up the process with an average time increase of 68.61% and helps overcome the challenges faced in the production of 3D animated films. Thus, the development of this plugin is expected to help improve production efficiency and quality in the animation industry in the future
