1	Style Transfer For Visual Storytelling A Case Study: The Hindu Mythological Character, Yamah, in the Style of the American Film Director, Tim Burton Perumalil, Ranjith Chandy 2011 August 1900 (has links) In this thesis, the concept of style transfer for visual storytelling is introduced. Style transfer for visual storytelling is the process of identifying a definitive style of a source, such as an artist or culture, and applying the features of that style to a target, such as a character which has a different style. As a proof of concept, the style of the American film director Tim Burton is transferred to a character from Hindu mythology, Yamah. The style transfer is done based on the concept of 'Pattern Language' introduced by Christopher Alexander et al., in his book, 'A Pattern Language'. A set of patterns is developed based on the source and target. The target is then designed based on the patterns. The design is then visualized in a suitable medium. style transfer Yamah Yama Tim Burton storytelling visual character design concept art 3D animation death archetypal death environment God of death King of the dead American film director muted and colorful pattern language spiral swirl stripes Hindu mythological character
