Stylization of characters in animation
Sekela, Stanislav ; KLOS, Jan (advisor) ; KLIMT, Aurel (referee)
Abstraction (in meaning of simplification) and realism are opposites, which involve
certain specifics in the comprehensibility. Both directions have their options in
terms of dramatic clarity.
In this work I want to research the possibilities of character animation in relation
to the degree of descriptiveness of characters, from simple hyper-realistic.
Furthermore, in the context of the visual forms, what enables different kinds and
where are conversely its pitfalls.
In conclusion, I will specify my own approach to this problem and which direction
I prefer.

Puppet Animator
Mrázová, Martina ; KLOS, Jan (advisor) ; Žabka, Michal (referee)
This master thesis deals with the problematic position of the Czech puppet animator. Based on interviews with two puppet animators, representing the current puppet animation and the last century Golden era, I am trying to figure out how the puppet animator worked in the last century and how he works today. For the current generation I draw from the experience of puppet animator Jan Štencl. For the past generation I draw from the experience of Mr. Jan Klos. I'm trying to clarify what puppet animator has had to know and if these kind of skills varies according to the period in which the animator works/worked. Furthermore, this theoretical work deals with the problems that animators are facing today and how to puppet animators respond to the expansion of 3D technology. In conclusion, I outline the various solutions to the current situation.

Live-action Film Puppet
Máj, Martin ; KUBÍČEK, Jiří (advisor) ; KLOS, Jan (referee)
The topic of this thesis is the live-action film puppet that has evolved
from the theatrical puppet. In contract to the animated puppet, the
purpose of the non-animated puppet is to create live-action motion. As of
now there were no attempts to formalize the theory of this cinematography
field. The first step towards this goal is to divide the puppets into the
following technological categories: marionette, hand puppet, animatronic
puppet and costume and digital puppet. Several types do not clearly fit
any of the above criteria and are thus described in the chapter entitled
?atypical puppets?. Puppet types are demonstrated on their example movies.
The thesis further deals with the correct placement of the puppet to the
scope of the movie which is closely related to the previously established
puppet categories.
