Our time is the age of prominent inventions and high technologies. More and more people consider the World Wide Web to be an inseparable part of their lives. Some use the Internet for just an entertainment, others – for work. But both sides are drawn by modern invention of computer software – the animated characters, the talking avatars.
If you are not informed about this yet, so the following information is right for you. Well, today we can observe different Internet sites presented by animated characters or human representatives, both used for attracting your eye. But they are not the same, let’s see the differences, and decide what works better. So, you can observe the site guides supported by animated talking avatars or human representatives, both of them being a form of media. But these forms have the different influence on people, so they have a different potential of influence. You see that nowadays even Disney characters have become the 3D format in spite of the fact that a play of real actors is much cheaper and easier to promote. But the tendency of Avatar Animation is obvious. The thing is that virtual lively characters are unique, they have their individual characters, and all depends on the producer’s imagination.
In its turn the real video with human representatives is accepted with some prejudice, for we are likely to make our subjective opinions as to the appearance, sex, clothes or nationality of the person we see. That’s why not all of us can be pleased by viewing a human representative offered by the web designers of the site. Please, think of the next fact. Some real estate selling site is introduced to you by an animated cat. Yes, you think it is quite an extraordinary way of advertising, but is it so bad? Do you have something against cats?
We believe you don’t. This experience will be amusing and you will hardly want to leave the site before watching all the presentation. You can get both information and pleasure, so is it bad? Really, it is interesting! And it can be the creative idea to propose the free animated cat for the visitor. And that will be rather attractive for the reason that all the users want to have their Own Avatar and you will offer them something more – the Avatar+Anime! And now imagine that you are watching the same introduction but presented by the human character. You are not to like it for sure. You can dislike its look, clothes, and accent. Especially if the character is a famous person, an actor, for example.
It may occur to you that you don’t appreciate his playing, so you will be not satisfied by looking at him or her and listening to. The use of the human representatives seems to be restricting, because viewers can see no animals or some fantastic creatures, but only people. Another aspect of using the real human video is that it is easier to produce and is cheaper. But it is not so promising as animated talking avatars are, at least, for the present day.
