Cortometraje animado en software 2D “Quinua del viento”

Abstract

Introduction This study focuses on the production of an animated short film about the quinoa production process. Until now, dedicated efforts have made it possible to position quinoa as a superfood with great nutritional potential, leaving aside its cultural and historical value. Objective Therefore, the main objective of the short film is the revaluation of quinoa as an ancestral grain, which aims to motivate its cultivation and consumption from this approach. Methodology Based on the Bruce Archer methodology, which has three phases; analytical, creative, and executive. In that order, it began by collecting information about the origin and production of quinoa through observation files, interviews with experts, quinoa producers, and experts in other areas.  From this investigation, the story developed “Quinoa in the wind”. The last phase was developed, following the typical stages of short film production: pre-production, production, and post-production. Results From the story, the script and storyboard were developed, which served as a visual guide. In the second phase, the Stop Motion technique was used. At this stage, the characters and environments were designed, inspired by indigenous people and settings from the province of Chimborazo. Finally, the 2D animation software “Adobe Premiere Pro” was used for editing and retouching the short film. In addition to this, the musicalization, the selected rhythm was the “Albazo” because it is a musical genre from the Ecuadorian highlands.
