Co-creation as a Creative Strategy in the Pre-production of an Animation Film in a Twitch Community Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • This paper exposes the development process, through co-creation strategies, of the pre-production of an animated film, featuring Twitch.tv, a video live streaming service, as the medium platform. Widespread accessibility to new technologies facilitates communication and sharing of ideas in different areas. The Twitch.tv platform allows the display of any artwork and promotes an easier communication between users in real time and through a set of options, for example, a chat box which enables the sharing of new ideas and experiences among members of a community. Exploring this potential, in order to stimulate greater creativity and find innovative results, we propose the development of an animated film through co-creation methods as a way to find innovative processes for an animation project. A twitch channel was created and some of its users self-proposed to cooperate in the author's animation project. This experience established connections with individuals from different areas, like different fields of arts. The method was based on the dialogue between the author and the users, who expressed themselves through the author's channel chat on Twitch. The ideas launched were subsequently voted on and selected by the majority of participants, which led to pre-production final results.
