Since computer technology is more popular and powerful, animators use computer software to increase the quality and the quantity of their creations. However, computers is just a tool, the aesthetic feeling still comes from animators’ experiences. Today many animators try to combine computers with traditional mediums into their creations. They want to create animations with traditional medium effect, such as watercolor, oil painting, and traditional Chinese painting, but faster and easier with the help of computer technology. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of woodcut applying to animations. Woodcut derives from the old typography. It is for disseminating knowledge and message. Although woodcut has a special visual result, less and less creators would do this because it will spend a lot of time and energy to produce a piece of creation. To make an animation with woodcut style, much more effort is needed for a large number of animation frames. As mentioned above, using computers could shorten the production time. Our research is trying to implement the visual effect of woodcut on animations with the help of computer software. First, we derive the visual elements of woodcut, which are adaptive for applying to animation, from studying the products of several woodcut artists. And then, we made an animation with these elements of woodcut by our own experience.
