Digital media refers to any type of media that uses electronic devices to view or distribute the media product. While digital media is most commonly associated with software and online communities, a growing number of artists are beginning to appreciate digital media as an artform. If you attend an art festival in Temecula, CA, you can expect to see several types of digital art.
Animation
While animation has long been an acknowledged art form, the widespread usage of digital products has created new opportunities for aspiring animators. Digital animations can be short, or they can be full length stories made entirely with a computer. Animations may be complex, or they may simply use stick figures.
Short Film & Video
Animation is not the only type of video being produced through digital means. Live action short films are a major attraction at art festivals in Temecula, CA. Both black and white videos and color videos are produced.
Web Series
A web series typically includes multiple illustrations with words to accompany each one. The web series may closely resemble a comic strip you would find on a newspaper, except it is produced entirely through digital processing.
Gaming
Gaming takes technical skill, but modern gaming also requires artistic ability. Character design, backgrounds, and settings all require the skill of an artist. Additionally, artists typically work with writers to come up with a storyboard in order to create the plot of the video game. Gaming displays at a local art festival may involve either set-ups or gamers playing the game.
