Ingen af delene kan imidlertid lade sig gøre uden støtte, hjælp, opmuntring og vejledning fra en lang række personer og institutioner, som jeg her ønsker at takke. I første omgang tak til de institutioner og vejledere, der hurtigt så mulighederne i projektet. Det gælder først og fremmest lektor ved Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademis Skole for Design, Per Galle, og lektor ved Copenhagen Business School, Lise Skov. Uden dem var projektet aldrig kommet i gang, og uden dem var jeg måske heller ikke vendt tilbage fra nogle af de interessante vildveje, skrivningen undervejs bevægede sig ud ad. Dernæst tak til tidligere rektor ved Danmarks Designskole og nuværende leder af Designmuseum Danmark, Anne-Louise Sommer, for ligesom nuværende leder af Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademis Skole for Design og Institut for Visuelt Design, Tine Kjølsen, tidligt så potentialet i projektet. Samme tak skal lyde til leder af Institut for Interkulturel Kommunikation og Ledelse ved Copenhagen Business School, Dorte Salskov-Iversen, og leder af ph.d.-skolen samme sted, Hans Krause Hansen. Disse tog godt imod idéen og sørgede for formaliseringen af samarbejdet om afhandlingen. Også tak til leder af Center for Teori og Metode ved Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademis Skole for Design, Troels Degn Johansson, for at se mulighederne i dette og andre igangværende projekter. Konstruktionen omkring projektet involverede forskerskolen i Medier, Kommunikation og Journalistik ved Roskilde Universitet, hvorfra jeg skylder lektor Kim Christian Schrøder tak for tålmodighed og interesse. Projektet blev i sin vorden støttet af Center for Designforskning ved Dorte Thorning Mejlhede og professor Morten Kyndrup. Tak for det. Jeg vil også gerne takke Foreningen Refugiet Klitgaardens Venner for skriveophold ved Klitgåden på Skagen. Min tid som ph.d.-studerende har været delt mellem Danmarks Designskole (nu Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademis Skole for Design) og Copenhagen Business School. Disse to institutioner repræsenterer to meget forskellige kulturer, hvor den sidste umiddelbart har den fjerneste i relation til afhandlingens centrale tematik. Jeg er derfor overordentlig glad for den varme og åbenhed, som jeg er blevet modtaget med ved Copenhagen Business School og i særdeleshed i projektet Creative Encounters. Tak særligt til professor Brian Moeran, lektor Fabian Csaba, Birgitte Stöber og Bo Christensen fra Rosenvillaen i Porcelænshaven på Frederiksberg. Min interesse for det levende billedes design blev for alvor vakt for godt 10 år siden, da production designer Klaus Kristensen 3 3 inviterede mig til at varetage dramaturgiundervisningen ved Danmarks Designskoles linje for production design. Jeg har siden været tilknyttet skolen og det inspirerende miljø omkring linjen. Mit arbejde ville af samme grund ikke have kunnet lade sig gøre uden inspiration fra gode kolleger her. Jeg tænker her særligt på Barbara Adler, Bo Emrik Pepke og Arthur Steijn, som jeg har haft glæde af at arbejde sammen med på, men også uden for skolen. Bo Emrik Pepke for mange års inspirerende og dedikeret samarbejde. Barbara Adler for hjælp i alle mulige sammenhænge (og for at fortælle om, hvordan hun som barn i Hollywood legede mellem ruinerne af Babylons mure fra D.W. Griffiths Intolerance (1916)). Stort tak desuden til Patricia Ingham Adler for stor gæstfrihed, historier fra et levet århundrede og for at åbne sit hjem for mig og min familie under vores besøg i Los Angeles. Arbejdet ved Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademis Skole for Designs linje for production design har altid været og er fortsat præget af et godt og uundværligt samarbejde med Den Danske Filmskole. Jeg skylder derfor skolens rektor, Paul Nesgaard, der har fulgt projektet, en stor tak. Dertil særlig tak til leder af Den Danske Filmskolens manuskriptlinje, Lars Christensen Detlefsen, og leder af animationslinjen, Gunnar Wille. Ved projektets begyndelse blev der sammensat en følgegruppe, som Gunnar Wille og Bo Emrik Pepke blandt andre deltog i. Jeg skylder desuden dramaturg og executiv producer ved DR ,TV-DRAMA (nu ved TV 2) Sven Clausen stor tak. Det samme til manuskriptforsker ved Københavns Universitet Eva Novrup Redvall og ikke mindst producer ved Nimbus Film og senere TOOLBOX Morten Kaufmann. Tak for mange gode og inspirerende diskussioner. Jeg har undervejs i forløbet haft samtaler med flere scenografer og designere foruden hvis hjælp og indsigt, projektet ikke kunne have været gennemført. Det gælder særligt Anne Mette Drivsholm, Jette Lehmann, Knirke Madelung, Peter Hjorth, Heidi Plugge og Mia Stensgaard. Disse har desuden med stor generøsitet stillet uvurderligt materiale til rådighed. Jeg skylder desuden production designer Tom Walsh ved Art Directors Guild, foruden Joseph Garrity ved American Film Institute og ikke mindst Alex McDowell, University of Southern California, 5D Institute, stor tak. Desuden tak for råd og vejledning af lektor Peter Schepelern ved Københavns Universitet, professor Søren Kjørup, Roskilde Universitet og Kunsthøjskolen i Bergen, og professor Tore Kristensen ved Copenhagen Business School. Tak for opmuntring fra Maria Mackinney-Valentin samt hjælp og gode råd fra Madeleine Schlawitz ved Det Danske Filminstituts billede- og plakatarkiv. Desuden tak for utrættelig hjælp fra værkstedsleder Debora Domela og medarbejdere ved Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademis Skole for Designs printcenter. 4 4 Undervejs i forløbet har jeg delt kontor og omgivelser med andre ph.d.-studerende ved både Copenhagen Business School og Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademis Skole for Design. Disse mennesker er jeg særligt glad for at have lært at kende. Stor tak for råd og opbakning til Else Gunvor Skjold Henriksen, Janne Meier, Nina Poulsen og Kristine Munkgård Pedersen ved Copenhagen Business

Among other projects, he co-composed the richly dramatic score for the cult-documentary film Trinity and Beyond, described by one critic as “an atomic-age Fantasia, thanks to its spectacular nuclear explosions and powerhouse music.” In addition, Morgan has won acclaim for efforts to rescue, restore and re-record lost film scores from the past. Recently, Morgan composed the score for the acclaimed documentary, Cinerama Adventure. William Stromberg A native of Oceanside, California, who hails from a family of film-makers, William T. Stromberg balances his career as a composer of strikingly vivid film scores with that of a busy conductor in the original Marco Polo Classic Film Score Series. Besides conducting his own scores—including his music for the thriller Other Voices and the documentary Trinity and Beyond—Stromberg serves as a conductor for other film composers. He is especially noted for his passion in reconstructing and conducting film scores from Hollywood’s Golden Age, including several works recorded for RCA with the Brandenburg Philharmonic. For Marco Polo, he has conducted albums of music devoted to Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Alfred Newman, Philip Sainton, Adolph Deutsch, Hans J. Salter, Victor Young, Franz Waxman, Bernard Hermann and Malcolm Arnold.
