| Chapter 2 Alphabets |
Tonight I was rereading the Asian Contribution section of the Meggs History of Graphic design, and I discovered a picture that reminded me of a section of the book, The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Willams. The first picture is of a table of the Hangul consonants on page 32. This table represents the mouth movements of each consonants. The consonants and different strokes collate to the different sounds in the Korean language. It seems as though when learning a new language, you start out with a diagram.
I know that it might seem like a silly thing to correlate a alphabet to a animation technique but I am here to try it. When doing dialogue for a animation you have to learn the mouth movements in the dialogue. Williams diagrams each movement with the tough and the face. He also has a video version of this in a lecture DVD. Instead of symbols he uses the English alphabet. At the end of the day, all languages can be divided into phonics
