Beneath it is the word Jim Henson in his corporate font with PICTURES in blurry letters underneath. Option: The trailer for Buddy, Kermit and the camera is inside the box with the name of the company outside and under it. FX/SFX: None.Music/Sounds: Trailer Theme Begins. Availability: Both options only appear on the trailers for Buddy.Editor's Note: If you love the Muppets, then you'll love this logo. 2nd logo (June 6, 1997 - October 6, 2000, 2005, 2013) Alias: Kermit Operator II, Sorry! Logo: We zoom in on the camera lens with lasers flying. The camera is controlled by a laughing kermit frog (played by Steve Whitmire) sitting on a large crane stretched into the metallic sky. As the crane moves away from us and Kermit and the crane go into silhouette, the laser writes the text to Jim Henson (in his familiar font) as the word PICTURES in bright metallic letters, given wide by Jim Henson, scales and turns to settle below. When the logo is formed, suddenly the faucet takes a hard drop, particularly the striking Kermit. Excuse me! Heard from the animals (voiced by Frank Oz) from the screen, and then Kermit whispers Hmmm.

Mike Traina, professor Petaluma office #674, (707) 778-3687 Hours: Tues 3-5pm, Wed 2-5pm [email protected] Additional days by appointment Media 10: Film Appreciation Wednesdays 6-10pm in the Carole L. Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

It seemed more like two months. At times, even two weeks. Why? Because even though I have worked in TV for more than three decades, I have never seen our industry undergo such extraordinary — and extraordinarily exciting — changes as it has in recent years. Everywhere you turn, the vanguard is disrupting the old guard with an astonishing new technology, an amazing new show, an inspired new way to structure a business deal. This is not to imply that the more established segments of our industry have been pushed aside. On the contrary, the broadcast and cable networks continue to produce terrific work that is heralded by critics and rewarded each year at the Emmys. And broadcast networks still command the largest viewing audience across all of their platforms. With our medium thriving as never before, this is a great time to work in television, and a great time to be part of the Television Academy. Consider the 65th Emmy Awards. The CBS telecast, hosted by the always-entertaining Neil Patrick Harris, drew our largest audience since 2005.
