Phobias

Font Size

The word phobia comes from the Greek word for fear (φόβος, fobos). In medical terms 'Phobia' is an anxiety disorder. It is estimated that in USA - 5.1% to 21.5% people suffer from some kind of phobia.

Women are more prone to have a phobia and this can be the cause for serious disability.

The opposite of the suffix -phobia is a - philia or -philie (meaning "love of").

There are many more phobias described than what are medically acceptable to be called a 'mental anxiety disorder'. Some of these phobias actually mean a 'negative attitude towards something.'

Medindia's 531 listed phobias include both types.

Dutch researchers say animations can treat social phobias2011-03-21

For individuals stricken with social phobias, venturing out into public situations may seem impossible, but researchers in the Netherlands say a series of medical and psychological animations may be able to mute the fear of social situations.

Social anxiety is relatively common in the U.S. More than 12 percent of American adults will suffer from a social phobia - meaning "a persistent, intense and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others and feeling embarrassed or humiliated by their actions" - over their lifetimes, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

The Dutch research team, which hails from the Delft University of Technology, noted that social phobias tend to be more debilitating and disruptive to a person's daily existence than other acute fears. They said that unlike flying or heights, social situations are much harder to totally avoid.

To see if a virtual environment could diagnose such a fear, the group created a visualization in which the viewer is presented with a crowded computer-animated movie theater. The subject is then asked about their preference for sitting in certain empty chairs as their avatar moves about the room.

Researchers reported that the simulation diagnosed three cases of marked social phobia.

Jack first line

Heres the first line for Jack, colored and cropped to the apple. Still could do a few tweaks.

Scene 1 lip sync

This a test animation of lip sync and eyes movement for pixilated faces of the apples. Please feel free to comment.

New Faces Test

After deciding to ditch the live action faces and do stop motion faces for the lip sync, I have made a test done quite quickly just to get the feel of how the animation would look. There are a lot of mistakes in this so just ignore them. The coloring of jacks face isn't quite right, and the eyes would also be moving not just the mouth. you wont need to animate the faces onto the apples, just get the sizing right.

i have colored in the images jack drew for the dream of apple 2

so far i have animated 55 seconds of the animation.
