Experimentation in film, animation, music, and art has been marked by intermedial and transmedial play between various art forms, such as rendering acting and performing cues in digital characters. The aim of this work is to help shape future guidelines for digital character creation and define kinesiological patterns that will be well-aligned with the development of the narrative. This study investigates kinesiological patterns associated with personality, and questions further whether and how the personality traits of actors, expressed with non-verbal gestures and body movements, are preserved and communicated through digital characters to the audience. The correlation between specific movement sections and qualities with personality traits is assessed by experts and independent viewers. The study setup is based on A Chairy Tale, a short animated movie by Norman McLaren, which offers rich movement vocabulary. Based on character design theory such as ‘12 Principles of Animation’ and 8 Efforts by Laban Movement Analysis, specific segments from the movie (including postures, gestures and body movement) are associated to respective movement tags, personality adjectives and personality traits. For this mapping the OCEAN model (Big5) was employed. Using motion capture technology the above mentioned specific scenes were simulated in a 3D scene, trying to maintain the qualities observed as much as possible. The final visualizations were evaluated by participants through a questionnaire-based assessment to examine whether the kinesiological principles and personality traits were conveyed through the mocap sessions. The results showed that, for most movements, participants' ratings aligned with the experts' initial correlation. The findings of this study are further analyzed in the discussion section, where the results and their implications are explained in detail and conclusions about the personality-movement continuum are presented.
