Additional Info / Yapping

I’ve always felt that adding human reactions and emotions to stickfigures will really add “life” to animations

Like, killing for example. I can show an animation of a bunch of citizens doing a walking animation then getting shot in a massacre. It would be a very dark idea, but would it necessarily feel like the citizens had a life? It would just feel like they were a bunch of sticks doing a walking movieclip until getting shot up.

However, if I aninated atleast a minute of the citizens and characters doing human things, like smiling, reacting to things around them, breathing, and acting sad, angry, or happy. Then say I were to animate a massacre of said citizens, wouldn’t it feel more impactful? Like they actually had a life and it was all taken from them.

Anyways, enough yapping here. To summarize all of this, I feel like adding emotion to stickfigures could make things like death, fighting, dialogue, or the overall animation more impactful
