INTRODUCTION:

Animation has become the new creative advertising trend in today’s entertainment industry. As a character-based business, animation can expand the design of advertisement by applying digital content to different media, such as Internet, mobile, phone technology and television. However, little research has been conducted on animated ads and animated ads as spokesperson that identifies whether or not they prove more effective at building consumer awareness about a product or service. Some research suggest that animated commercials can effectively provide visual demonstrations and verbal testimonies for a wide variety of products, while studies on motion, have focused on the relationship between size and speed and emotional response, as well as explored animated object on the internet.

The classical conditioning paradigm has been applied to the field of consumer behavior. Many researchers have studied its implications on consumer behavior, and it has been adopted as a process relevant to advertising. Classical conditioning suggests that positive attitude towards an advertised product might develop through a product association in a commercial with other positive stimuli.

Attractive colors, jingles, pleasant music, interesting characters and humor are the example of potential unconditioned stimuli used in commercials ads and had a deep influence on consumer

ANIMATION HAS BECOME AN EFFECTIVE TOOL IN

ADVERTISING: -

The answer to this question lies within the concept of brand and brand identity. If the aim of the advertiser is to communicate the identity of a given brand as quickly and as succinctly as possible, then animation is an ideal medium.

With a brand identity and to desire to become a part of that identity can be extenuated through the use of a brand character. Animated form and animated characters have been used to sell everything from children’s toys to cigarettes. These characters are intrinsically linked to the qualities of the product that they are selling.

ANIMATED COMMERCIAL AS A NEW CREATIVE PLATFORM : Animation process results in motion pictures that are created by recording a series of still images-drawings, object, or people in various positions of incremental movement, to produce the illusion of unbroken motion.

Some researchers emphasize that animation is a highly effective design tool for capturing viewer interest and attention Animation usually classified into different categories including CGI [Computer Graphic Image] animation, clay animation [ clay motion], Cartoon animation, film animation, drawn animation, pixilation, puppet animation and silhouette animation.

There are thirteen different types of animated commercials, which fall into several functional categories; explanation, demonstration, big model, slice of life, documentary, comparison, image building, symbol, spectacular, production, commercial, and humor.

The most common type of animation is drawn on cells and is 2-d. It is a traditional design technique. Advanced technology can create a new style animation. The three-dimensional animation of clay animation is created. In current entertainment industry, clay animation and computer generated animation have become the most popular type of animation in films and televisions commercials.

Currently, animated cartoons have become tools to influence people’s opinion in society. Clay animation, computer generated animation, puppet animation are the most popular animation types in today’s animation industry. Puppet animation uses 3-d figures that moved incrementally for each frame of film. Pixilation is animation made by using humans and other live subject filmed incrementally in various poses.

RELAITON OF CONSUMERS AND ANIMAED

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Brand familiarity is the primary focus in consumer behavior studies. First, a consumer’s familiarity with a product or brand influences concepts as consumer adaptation, self-image, and compliance, and identification.

Similar studies should focus on the relationships between brand familiarity, consumer confidence in brand evaluations, consumer attitudes toward brands, and intentions. In term of brand preference, brand choice, and, consumer create meaning to strengthen their identities through brand preference.

ADVANTAGES OF ANIMATION IN ADVERTISING:

One of the main advantages of using animation in advertising is the ability of animators to create environments and worlds that could not be accessed or reproduced by a live action camera crew. These artificial environments can be used to stimulate imagination and desire, to create a fantastical world of possibility, which can then be realized by the purchase of a given product. Coco-pops are advertised by a variety of jungle characters that inhabit a fantastical world of imagination and fun that is extremely appealing to young children.

Animation can also be a relatively inexpensive process. Pioneers such as Peter Sachs of Larkin studios and Bob Godfrey of biographic, found quicker cheaper animation methods than the traditional fluid aesthetic style of Disney. They employed jagged and rough styling that borrowed from German expressionism. The theory being, to use limited animation to maximum effect. (Thread Gould, 2005) By emphasizing certain details advertisers can allude to certain qualities that can be associated with the product.

LITERATURE REVIEW:-

Animation, which offers entertainment as a form of visual art, has evolved in to character-based business with the potential to expand its base by offering digital content to media such as internet or mobile phones .In addition, the animation market has potential benefit, including the production of animated TV shows and movies, video title sales, and merchandise sales featuring animated characters. The advent of advanced technology in the 21st century has led to more developed computer graphics that allow animation to extend into computer games, TV, commercials, and blockbuster films.

Originally, animation terminology referred to its medium as a means of creating a complete representation of reality because animation can create the true nature of what we are seeing in movies and TV because of its ability to fill the gaps when reality simply doesn’t look real enough. Many research studies are conducted previously by many researchers including both the local and foreign.

some researches previously conducted are discussed below;

Animation is the process of linking a series of slightly different drawing together to simulate movement [Wilson 2005]. Animation can be recognized as it mean to be produced the world beyond all imagination. Many advertising practitioners have recognized animation as a new advertising design tool and a form of visual art in the current entertainment industry.

The greater part of marketers use mass media for their mass marketing and the choice of media is dependent on the type of message to be conveyed ( ERICK GARWIN; 2009)

Reactions over TV advertisements seems to be stronger over print media specially for animated advertisements (SHAH &D’SOUZA 2010)

Advertisers can strongly influence the purchase decision of consumers especially of animated advertisements (Ms.URSHELLA RIAZ; student of Karachi school of arts and technology 2012)

Animated advertisements are the cost effective mean to advertise a product or to create awareness regarding any issue (Mr.OMAIR; LUMS Pakistan 2013)

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT :

Instrument : Questionnaire (personal administered) & Structured interview.

Instrument design: Both open and close ended questions in questionnaire.

Comments on research instrument:-

Both the research instruments of “Questionnaire and Structured interview” proved to be quite satisfactory as we got fruitful results

Because our respondents were children so it was the most appropriate option to ask targeted questions in the form of questionnaire

Structured interview from agency provided us a detailed information regarding our research study and that was exactly we desired.

Problems encountered:-

Most of the Children were not aware of the meaning of the word of animated advertisements

Some were aware but their attitude was irresponsible. Due to the final exams of children delayed responses w and some were returned

blank On the agency “spectrum Y & R “ did not acknowledged our visit due to company’s

policy Mr.Tashfeen (time &space) also did not approved our visit however we made online

conversation with him through conference and skype call.

MEASUREMENT SCALE USED:-

9Market Research report On impact of Animated Advertisements On Consumers (KUBS)

Page 10: Market resarch report on impact of animated advertisements on consemers

The measurement scale used was “nominal scale” because the research is qualitative and we found the perception of children of different age groups and their attitude towards likeness or dislikeness of product in relation to animated advertisements.

SAMPLING METHOD:

Two types of sampling are being used by the marketers:

Probability sampling Non probability sampling

Probability sampling is a method for drawing a sample from the population such that all the possible samples have a known and specified probability of being known.Non –probability sampling is a sampling procedure in which the selection of population elements is based on the part of judgment of the researcher or field interviewer.The sampling method for this report was probability sampling because here each sample has an equal chance of being selected and again it would simple random sampling.

Sampling criteria:-

Sampling technique : Simple random sampling Sample size : 171 respondents Sample unit : within Karachi city Target population : 200 Sampling type : Probabilistic (stratified) Time dimension : Cross sectional (from march 20th till may 08th

may ) Stratified Sampling : We used stratified sampling therefore we

assigned two Consecutive number for each strata;

“1” for children of age 5-10 years (55.6%)

“2 “for children of age 11 -15 years (44.4 %)

Response Rate : 85% Valid response : 171 Invalid responses : 29

LIMITATIONS:The major barriers in conducting the survey were:

1. Time limitation :- For a researcher time has always worked as a barrier to the research process. As we took interview from the children aging 5 to 15 years’ time has always worked as a limitation in our research process. Lack of time availability of facilitators of ad agency and experts also add to this limitation.

2. Financial and budgetary limitation

Another limitation for this study was lack of finance. We facing the problem of exceeded

Research cost to our budgeted cost as we allocated in our RFP.

3. The volume and statistical analysis and interpretation of data was time consuming.

4. Issue of confidentiality by agencies created problems when presenting findings

5. collection of qualitative data was more time consuming

6. Because sample size was comparatively small it was not possible to generalize results on overall population.

7. Unpredictable behavior of respondents

years age. The children love to watch their favorite ads again & again. Children are mostly attracted by the animated characters. Children also like the colorful TVC. The children of age 5-10 years familiar with confectioneries product, whereas the

children of 11-15 age.

RECOMMENDATIONS:-

A similar research focusing on relation between consumer and celebrity / character “match –up hypothesis “ should be conducted .future studies on animated advertisements should include all of this

There is also a concern about respondents, exclusively children of age 5-15 years who might respond to animated advertisements differently than people in other consumer’s segments. Therefore it would be valuable to replicate this study with a larger and more representative sample

Novelty effect should be considered in the similar study when using novel advertisements and stimuli . Advertisers should present a realistic picture instead of fantasy world.

Public service messages should be given along with just advertisements animated advertisements should increase the level of understanding instead of just entertaining

OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH THE REPORT:-

The formation of this report proved to be a great source of learning for the practical aspects of market research. Me “Humera M Hanif” as a group leader tried my level best to practice all the leadership skills to lead and guide my team. Throughout this report my endeavor was to motivate and encourage both the team members.

On the other hand, preparing and compiling this comprehensive report was impossible with the coordination of my team members “Miss Madiha Razzaque” & “Miss Ameera JahangirIn the periods of difficulties especially with time constraints they both worked beyond their capacities and put maximum efforts for the success of this report which is truly incredible and no doubt highly praiseworthy.

Animation for the film and television industry sector is the backbone of Pakistan film industry 3D is mostly associated with movies and animation; however its scope isn’t limited to entertainment industry only. It is extensively used in advertising industries around the world to promote brands on billboards, commercials, magazine ads. 3D animation also plays a strong role in automobiles and architectural industry to visualize the future projects.

The role of 3D in Pakistan’s advertising began with Ding Dong bubble’s animated TVC that received mass appreciation and soon thereafter, every other brand started using 2D animation to acquire high perception among their consumers.

However, P&G’s health care brand Safeguard stepped outside of the norms, and did something remarkably creative and introduced Pakistan’s very own animated superhero named Commander Safeguard.

As always, a trend started and every other brand caught on the bandwagon to create superhero for their product. Lifebuoy Germ Busters, Milkateers, Dettol Warriors, Baankay Miyaan and Burka Avengers are few of the notable examples.

Unfortunately, the circumstances of our country are getting worse day by day. If you want to learn 3D you can’t just read theoretical books or listen to podcasts on your mobile. You need to have a computer in your access, and that requires proper electricity and high speed internet connection.” “You can’t just rely on the training given by Pakistani institutes, you have to extend your knowledge according to the latest versions of the software and for that a fast internet connection is a pre-requisite. Unfortunately Pakistan’s government has failed to fulfil these two essential requirements."

The process of creating a 3D artwork involves a work flow from concept to completion. It includes various aspects, theories and concept of traditional art. Such as form, color theory, sculpture, architecture, texture, lighting and composition. 3D is an evolving art and the techniques we use will soon become outdated as new robust methods and software’s emerge.

For 3D industry to flourish in Pakistan, we need high quality internationally affiliated institutions, well-established 3D production studios, efficient production pipeline and dedicated tech savvy 3D artists.
