PENGARUH PERANCANGAN GAMBAR ENVIRONMENT DAN DUKUNGAN SOSIAL TEMAN SEBAYA TERHADAP EMOSI KARAKTER PADA ANIMASI “PRESSURE”

ABSTRACT

This final project examines the use of environmental design in a short animated film titled Pressure as a medium to express the main character’s emotional response to academic pressure. The method used is Practice-Based Research, involving reflection through observation, references, and questionnaires. The author was responsible for the storyboard, animatic, 2D flashback scenes, and editorial compositing. Pre-production questionnaire results show that 84% of respondents agreed academic stress can be visually represented through emotion and color. Post-production results indicate 96.2% of viewers understood the character’s emotional state, 84.1% felt the social support message was conveyed, and 73.1% agreed the environment design helped deliver the emotional tone. Cool and muted tones such as blue and grey were used to express despair, while warm colors like orange and white conveyed optimism and recovery. The study shows that environment design based on color theory and audience data can effectively enhance emotional storytelling in educational animation.

Penelitian tugas akhir ini membahas perancangan environment dalam animasi pendek berjudul Pressure sebagai media penyampaian emosi karakter utama yang mengalami tekanan akademik. Metode yang digunakan adalah Practice-Based Research dengan pendekatan reflektif melalui observasi, studi referensi, dan kuesioner. Penulis bertanggung jawab dalam proses storyboard, animatic, scene flashback 2D, dan compositing editorial. Hasil kuesioner pra-produksi menunjukkan bahwa 84% responden setuju tekanan akademik dapat divisualisasikan melalui emosi dan warna. Dalam hasil screening pasca produksi, 96,2% responden memahami kondisi emosional karakter, 84,1% menganggap pesan dukungan sosial tersampaikan, dan 73,1% menyatakan desain environment berkontribusi dalam penyampaian emosi. Warna biru dan abu-abu digunakan untuk menggambarkan keterpurukan, sedangkan jingga dan putih mencerminkan semangat dan kebangkitan. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perancangan environment yang terstruktur dan berlandaskan teori warna serta data empiris dapat memperkuat narasi emosional dalam animasi edukatif.
