  • Animation: Types
    Animation: Animation is a dynamic medium in which images or objects are manipulated to appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Today most animations are made with computer generated (CGI). Commonly the effect of animation is achieved by a rapid succession of sequential images that minimally differ from each other. Apart from short films, feature films, animated gifs and other media dedicated to the display moving images, animation is also heavily used for video games, motion graphics and special effects. The history of animation started long before the development of cinematography. Humans have probably attempted to depict motion as far back as the Paleolithic period. Shadow play and the magic lantern offered popular shows with moving images as the result of manipulation by hand and/or some minor mechanics Computer animation has become popular since toy story (1995), the first feature-length animated film completely made using this technique. Types: Traditional animation (also called cel animation or hand-drawn animation) was the process used for most animated films of the 20th century. The individual frames of a traditionally animated film are photographs of drawings, first drawn on paper. To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly from the one before it. The animators' drawings are traced or photocopied onto transparent acetate sheets called cels which are filled in with paints in assigned colors or tones on the side opposite the line drawings. The completed character cels are photographed one-by-one against a painted background by rostrum camera onto motion picture film.

  • Stop-Motion Animation an Introduction What Is Animation?
    Stop-motion Animation An Introduction What is Animation? In its simplest form, animation is essentially making something that doesn’t move (inanimate) look like it is moving (animate). This can be done through repeated drawings or paintings (traditional 2D), using puppets or clay (stop-motion) and using computer programmes and software (CG and 3D). All of these methods have one aim in mind: to create ‘the illusion of life’. Key Resource: The Evolution of Animation The following video shows how animation has evolved from it’s very first days using contraptions like the ‘Zoetrope’. Whilst you watch these clips, think about the different types of animation used. How many of these films do you recognise? The Evolution of Animation 1833-2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6TOQzCDO7Y Many older animations are available to watch on Youtube, such as ‘Gertie the Dinosaur’ and ‘Felix the Cat’, and it’s important to appreciate these as being the roots of modern animation. Younger Animators might also get a kick out of watching some classic ‘Looney Tunes’ cartoons. What is movement? A movement is when something goes from point A to point B in a certain amount of time. The amount of time it takes dictates how fast that movement is. In other words, if something goes from point A to B in a short amount of time then it is a fast movement, and if it takes a long time then it is a slow movement. Experiment: Try out some actions like waving, spinning in a circle and walking all at different speeds.

  • To Be Young, Queer and Chinese
    FILM AT REDCAT PRESENTS Mon Nov 30 | 8:00 PM | ONLINE Jack H. Skirball Series $10 [members $8] To get tickets, visit: To Be Young, Queer and Chinese To Be Young, Queer and Chinese Program curated by Jenny Man Wu, with Popo Fan and Yang Yang Presented in collaboration with Love Queer Cinema Week (former Beijing Queer Film Festival, BJQFF) Love Queer Cinema Week was funded in 2001 by university students as the first LGBTQ film festival in mainland China – where it remains one of the few grassroots events involved in independent queer film screenings and cultural exchange, providing a platform for sexual and other minorities worldwide. It has hosted international guests and offered travel grants to young Chinese participants. It has created ties with queer film festivals/events in Brazil, Belgium, Italy and Denmark, and the Berlinale Teddy Awards. Often harassed by the authorities and forced to change locations, it has survived as a site of resistance for social, cultural and artistic fluidity. Three festival organizers will hold a panel discussion on the evolution of queer media in China. Also: screening of Popo Fan’s The Drum Tower (Gu Lou Xi, 2019) and Yang Yang’s Our Story - 10-year "Guerrilla Warfare" of Beijing Queer Film Festival (Wo men de gu shi, 2011) In person via Zoom from Beijing and Berlin: Director on Duty Jenny Man Wu (rotating position), Committee Members Yang Yang and Popo Fan “… what made the BJQFF screening among the most moving and memorable experiences we’ve had on the festival circuit was the realization that it was more than an entertainment, it was a statement.

Research has tracked the movies released theatrically in the U.S. to determine where they were filmed, why they filmed in the locations they did and how much was spent to produce them. We do this to help businesspeople and policymakers, particularly those with investments in California, better understand the state’s place in the competitive business environment that is feature film production. For reasons described later in this report’s methodology section, FilmL.A. adopted a different film project sampling method for 2016.

    The Power of Storytelling Using a story to create a coherent experience from conception to execution FIRST®STEAMWORKSSM invites two adventurers’ clubs, in an era where steam power reigns, to prepare their airships for a long distance race. Each three-team alliance prepares in three ways: 1. Build steam pressure. Robots collect fuel (balls) and score it in their boiler via high and low efficiency goals. Boilers turn fuel into steam pressure which is stored in the steam tank on their airship – but it takes more fuel in the low efficiency goal to build steam than the high efficiency goal. 2. Start rotors. Robots deliver gears to pilots on their airship for installation. Once the gear train is complete, they turn the crank to start the rotor. 3. Prepare for flight. Robots must latch on to their airship before launch (the end of the match) by ascending their The Story of FIRST ropesto signal that they’re ready for Steamworks takeoff.

  • The Animation
    The Animation Welcome to the eight issue of our Multimedia Fusion tutorials. This issue will discuss how the Fusion runtime handle sprites animations. All the content of this tutorial is applicable to Click & Create and The Games Factory. Animations and directions in runtime. Fusion's runtime does its best to match the animation with the movement of the character. It does this job at three different levels : Animation Direction Speed For example, if a character is moving slowly to the right, then it will prefer the Walking animation, in the East (0) direction, and it will adapt the speed of the animation to the speed of the movement. Most of the times, the author of the application does not draw all the animations, or all the 32 directions. When this is the case, Fusion has to approximate and find the best animation and direction possible. Matching the animation. If the exact animation is defined, then Fusion will use it. If this animation is not available, then Fusion will revert to the closest animation possible. If this one is not available, to the stopped animation. If the stopped animation is not available, then to the first available animation... Fusion only does this process of animation approximation with the default animations, numbered 0 to 11. The following list describes the correspondance between the action of the sprite and the animation chosen in order of preference... Static : stopped, appearing, walking, running, any available. Moving at speed below 80 :: walking, running, stopped, any available Moving at speed above

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

Chinese-language films have experienced the whole - divide - cooperation - integration process in the past 68 years has experienced. In recent years, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese new generation of directors have realized the century cultural integration of Chinese-language film across different nation and region. This article critically reviewed the development of Chinese-language film on the basis of national film and Chinese film, trying to construct an analytical framework of Chinese-language films in the era of globalization, and exploring the Chinese movie industry how to realize the new development in the new pattern culture of globalization. 1 Introduction The Chinese-language film refers to the film produced by the mainland China, including Hong Kong, Macao and overseas Chinese of east Asia and southeast Asia. Over the past century, the number of Chinese films has been over a million, including Chinese, Cantonese, Hakka, Hujian (Taiwanese), tidal language, dialect and a small number of English. The profound social background, cultural roots and industrial connections all promote the coming out and acceptance of the concept of Chinese-language film. The shared cultural traditions such as the language, literature and food are rooted in the same culture—the long lasting traditional Chinese culture and the consistent film traditions—Shanghai film traditions before 1949.
