Abstract

Sinema ilk örneklerinin çekildiği 19.yy’dan bugüne insanların ilgisine çekmekte, hem sanatsal bir
ifade aracı hem de eğlence unsuru olabilmektedir. Hareket eden görüntüleri izlemek, özellikle ilk
dönem sinema örneklerinde olduğu gibi sessiz olarak, izleyicileri şaşırtmış ve bir kısım izleyici
ekranda gördüklerinin gerçek olduğu yanılgısına kapılmışlardır. Günümüzde ise sinema teknolojisi
büyük aşamalardan geçmiş ve sinemanın büyülü ekranı insanları kendisine çekmeye devam etmiştir.
Silent/Sessiz kısa animasyon filmi, sinemanın tarihsel gelişimine dair bir öyküyü anlatmakta ve
sinemanın etki gücünü vurgulamaktadır. Silent/Sessiz, iki sokak performansçının eski, harabe bir evde keşfettikleri esrarengiz kutu üzerinden sinemanın geçmişi ve bugünü arasındaki bağlantıyı
izleyiciye aktarmaktadır. Moonbot Stüdyoları ve Dolby ortak yapımı olan kısa film, 2014 yılında
Avrupa’nın en saygın reklamcılık ödüllerinden biri olan Epica 2014 Animasyon Dalı Reklamcılık
Ödülü’nü kazanmıştır.
Bu çalışmada, Silent/Sessiz kısa animasyonu, teknik özellikleri, teknik ekibi ve sanat yönetmenleri
üzerinden incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, Dünyadaki animasyon teknikleri hakkında genel bilgilendirmelere
yer verilmiştir. Araştırma yöntemi olarak literatür taraması ve betimsel taramalar yapılmış, filmin
sanat yönetmenleri ve teknik ekip ile yapılan röportajlar değerlendirilmiştir.
