In the middle and late 20th century, with the spread of post-modernism in the world, the development of anthropology also entered a period of post-modernism. The self-reflection of visual anthropology and the fictionalization of ethnography pioneered by Jean Rouch promote the diversification of the paradigm of anthropological cinema style. In the wave of ethnographic ‘writing’ and ‘ethnography fiction’, the variety of the visual language's virtuality and artistic expression gradually manifests itself. In the process of development, creators began to pay attention to the writing of humanization and aesthetic style. Painting, animation, new media and other means gradually enter the field of visual anthropology. In particular, more film and multi-disciplinary scholars at the beginning of this century entered the field of ontology practice of visual anthropology. The research interests in the field of visual anthropology are therefore diverse. Animation and new media intervention is particularly prominent. New media animation has gradually become a new paradigm of visual anthropology.
