Abstract
[spa] La irrupción de la animación 3D a mediados de la década de 1990 supuso una de las transformaciones tecnológicas mas rápidas y profundas del audiovisual contemporáneo, con repercusiones que afectaron de manera muy especial los procesos industriales, económicos y artísticos de la animación en los Estados Unidos de América. La presente tesis doctoral se centra en la producción de largometrajes y series estadounidenses realizados con esta técnica de animación entre 1995 y 2015. La investigación intenta determinar hasta qué punto las características económicas, productivas y formales que definen la animación 3D en la industria audiovisual estadounidense permiten considerarlo un modelo de producción institucionalizado y consensuado de normas, valores y prácticas cinematográficas. Para esta tarea, la investigación combina el análisis de las fuentes documentales, los materiales históricos y la recopilación de la bibliografía crítica con diversos enfoques que parten de los ámbitos empresarial, profesional, tecnológico, estético e industrial. La tesis doctoral establece también un marco de referencia en el que se compendian enfoques multidisciplinares y se analiza la riqueza de opciones y posibilidades con las que cuenta el modelo de la animación 3D, al tiempo que se facilitan una serie de herramientas metodológicas que permiten definirlo frente a otros modelos de producción de animación.
[eng] The emergence of Computer Graphics (CG) animation in the mid-1990s is widely regarded as one of the biggest upheavals in contemporary audiovisual media. This economic, industrial and artistic disruption impacted with particular intensity on the US animation industry’s production processes. This dissertation focuses on CG animation production for feature film and TV series created by American studios between 1995 and 2015. This study examines the extent to which the economic, productive and stylistic characteristics of the American CG animation industry can be considered an institutionalized and recognized production model comprising its own unique set of customs, values and filmmaking practices. To this end, the research utilizes documentary sources, historical materials and a review of critical literature. It uses a range of perspectives drawn from managerial, professional, technological, aesthetic and industrial fields and a framework of multidisciplinary approaches that analyzes the variety of options and modes of the CG animation model. Finally, the study proposes the use of some methodological tools that could serve to define the American CG animation model against other systems of animation production.
