Concert Review: Symphony Help Breathe Life Into Video Games | Deseret News
11/23/2016 Concert review: Symphony help breathe life into video games | Deseret News Family Concert review: Symphony help breathe life into video games By Scott Iwasaki Published: March 29, 2008 12:00 a.m. "VIDEO GAMES LIVE!" Utah Symphony, Abravanel Hall, Friday, additional performance today, 355-2787 With strobe lights, a big video screen, mirror balls and an electric guitar, it was clear that "Video Games Live!" is not a typical symphony concert. And to have the Utah Symphony give two acts of video-game music life in a place other than the TV was nothing short of a rush. By the end of the show, the symphony did exactly what narrator and game composer and "Video Game Live!" co-founder Tommy Tallarico said it would do — "Show how culturally significant video games and video game music is in the world today." Conducted by video-game-music composer and "Video Game Live!" co-founder Jack Wall, the symphony, aided by the Snow College Choir, took the nearly sold-out audience on a journey from the early days of video gaming to the present. Kicking off the evening with the "blip-bleep" of "Pong" and ending with a rousing crescendo of "Final Fantasy VII," the concert brought old and young gamers together. With a symphonic suite, the concert highlighted pioneering games such as "Donkey Kong," "Dragon's Lair," "Tetris," "Frogger" and "Space Invaders," to name a few. In keeping with the "Space Invaders" theme, Tallarico chose a member from the audience to play a giant screen version of the game while the symphony performed the theme. -
Leslie Bishko the Uses and Abuses of Cartoon Style in Animation
Animation Studies – Vol.2, 2007 Leslie Bishko The Uses and Abuses of Cartoon Style in Animation Introduction “Cartoon style” in animation broadly refers to animation design and movement that adheres to the 12 Principles of Animation, defined and developed at the Disney Studios. The Principles evolved through trial and error, by observing motion on-screen and noting what aspects of animated movement served the believability of the characters. To this day, the 12 Principles of Animation are known by all animators and used as a benchmark for good animation. Yet, these principles are not complete movement concepts. They influence specific movement patterns that are often applied without consideration of their effects, resulting in characterization that lacks authenticity. Viewers have come to expect that animated character performances portray the illusion of a living being. As a determining factor for believability in animation, authenticity functions on two levels. First, we suspend our disbelief and engage with the character; there is no question of the character’s aliveness. Second, through characterization, we experience an authentic being whose inner intent is communicated outwardly, and made unmistakably clear. Originating from the roots of 20th century modern dance, Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) is a conceptual framework for the observation, description and interpretation of human movement that offers a robust movement vocabulary. Where Animation Principles can potentially impose a specific style of animated movement, LMA is style-neutral and therefore excels at articulating components of style. Additionally, LMA addresses the relationship of intent to action, an innovative feature that aids us in the observation of authenticity which the Animation Principles lack. -
Programmers' Tool Chain
Reduce the complexity of programming multicore ++ Offload™ for PlayStation®3 | Offload™ for Cell Broadband Engine™ | Offload™ for Embedded | Custom C and C++ Compilers | Custom Shader Language Compiler www.codeplay.com It’s a risk to underestimate the complexity of programming multicore applications Software developers are now presented with a rapidly-growing range of different multi-core processors. The common feature of many of these processors is that they are difficult and error-prone to program with existing tools, give very unpredictable performance, and that incompatible, complex programming models are used. Codeplay develop compilers and programming tools with one primary goal - to make it easy for programmers to achieve big performance boosts with multi-core processors, but without needing bigger, specially-trained, expensive development teams to get there. Introducing Codeplay Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, Codeplay Software Limited was founded by veteran games developer Andrew Richards in 2002 with funding from Jez San (the founder of Argonaut Games and ARC International). Codeplay introduced their first product, VectorC, a highly optimizing compiler for x86 PC and PlayStation®2, in 2003. In 2004 Codeplay further developed their business by offering services to processor developers to provide them with compilers and programming tools for their new and unique architectures, using VectorC’s highly retargetable compiler technology. Realising the need for new multicore tools Codeplay started the development of the company’s latest product, the Offload™ C++ Multicore Programming Platform. In October 2009 Offload™: Community Edition was released as a free-to-use tool for PlayStation®3 programmers. Experience and Expertise Codeplay have developed compilers and software optimization technology since 1999. -

The Making of Star Fox Welcome to My First Newshounds Article of 2019
The Making Of Star Fox Welcome to my first Newshounds article of 2019-2020! It’s that time once again of a new school year, which means a whole new batch of articles to publish! There’s a bunch of great articles that I’ve planned for this year, so before we dive into this article, let’s recap which articles I published last year! We started off the previous year with a Q&A about myself, where students could give me questions to answer! Let’s say there were some interesting ones in there! Christmas was approaching at a rapid pace and before the big day arrived, we delved into the history of Apple’s iPhone and we realised how far technology has come since the late 2000’s. After that, we entered the construction site to delve into the deepest blueprints of Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s latest rollercoaster ICON! Finally, we all came as one to choose which article to be published next. We ended up taking look at the history of Sonic The Hedgehog at Alton Towers, which covered over a quarter of a century to produce! Anyways enough rambling on, let’s get the ball rolling! Nowadays, gaming has come an extremely long way since its inception, but back in the ‘90’s we were restricted in technology compared to what we have today. However, today we are going to look at singlehandedly THE game that brought the world of 3D to home consoles. Welcome to the making of… WARNING: There may some terms that may be hard to understand. -
Abstract the Goal of This Project Is Primarily to Establish a Collection of Video Games Developed by Companies Based Here In
Abstract The goal of this project is primarily to establish a collection of video games developed by companies based here in Massachusetts. In preparation for a proposal to the companies, information was collected from each company concerning how, when, where, and why they were founded. A proposal was then written and submitted to each company requesting copies of their games. With this special collection, both students and staff will be able to use them as tools for the IMGD program. 1 Introduction WPI has established relationships with Massachusetts game companies since the Interactive Media and Game Development (IMGD) program’s beginning in 2005. With the growing popularity of game development, and the ever increasing numbers of companies, it is difficult to establish and maintain solid relationships for each and every company. As part of this project, new relationships will be founded with a number of greater-Boston area companies in order to establish a repository of local video games. This project will not only bolster any previous relationships with companies, but establish new ones as well. With these donated materials, a special collection will be established at the WPI Library, and will include a number of retail video games. This collection should inspire more people to be interested in the IMGD program here at WPI. Knowing that there are many opportunities locally for graduates is an important part of deciding one’s major. I knew I wanted to do something with the library for this IQP, but I was not sure exactly what I wanted when I first went to establish a project. -
Proposal for an Undergraduate Major in Esports and Game Studies B.S
4/16/2019 Proposal for an Undergraduate Major in Esports and Game Studies B.S. Arts and Sciences PRELMINARY PROPOSAL FOR A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN Esports and Game Studies I. Proposed Major This new major will be a Bachelor of Science degree through the College of Arts and Sciences in Esports and Game Studies (EGS). Initially, the major will focus on three tracks: 1.) Esports and Game Creation, 2.) Esports Management, and 3.) Application of Games in Medicine and Health. Additional concentrations and certificate programs may be proposed once the major becomes well established. II. Rationale A. Describe the rationale/purpose of the major. This new four-year Arts & Sciences major is a true collaboration between five colleges at The Ohio State University: 1) The College of Arts & Sciences, 2) The Fisher College of Business, 3) The College of Education and Human Ecology, 4) The College of Engineering, and 5) The College of Medicine. This new degree is a multidisciplinary collaboration that is driven by industry needs. The Esports and Game industry is growing at an enormous pace over the past few years. According to Newzoo’s 2018 Global Esports Market Report the global esports revenues have grown over 30% for the past three years and this rate is expected to continue beyond 2021. The revenues in the industry were $250 million in 2015 and expected to reach $1.65 billion by 2021. This growth has created a dearth of properly trained college graduates to fill industry needs. This new UG major has been created to fill the void in industry. -
Film Flight: Lost Production and Its Economic Impact on California
I MILKEN INSTITUTE California Center I July 2010 Film Flight: Lost Production and Its Economic Impact on California by Kevin Klowden, Anusuya Chatterjee, and Candice Flor Hynek Film Flight: Lost Production and Its Economic Impact on California by Kevin Klowden, Anusuya Chatterjee, and Candice Flor Hynek ACKnowLEdgmEnts The authors gratefully acknowledge Armen Bedroussian and Perry Wong for their expert assistance in preparing this study. We also thank our editor, Lisa Renaud. About tHE mILKEn InstItutE The Milken Institute is an independent economic think tank whose mission is to improve the lives and economic conditions of diverse populations in the United States and around the world by helping business and public policy leaders identify and implement innovative ideas for creating broad-based prosperity. We put research to work with the goal of revitalizing regions and finding new ways to generate capital for people with original ideas. We focus on: human capital: the talent, knowledge, and experience of people, and their value to organizations, economies, and society; financial capital: innovations that allocate financial resources efficiently, especially to those who ordinarily would not have access to them, but who can best use them to build companies, create jobs, accelerate life-saving medical research, and solve long-standing social and economic problems; and social capital: the bonds of society that underlie economic advancement, including schools, health care, cultural institutions, and government services. By creating ways to spread the benefits of human, financial, and social capital to as many people as possible— by democratizing capital—we hope to contribute to prosperity and freedom in all corners of the globe. -
Intersomatic Awareness in Game Design
The London School of Economics and Political Science Intersomatic Awareness in Game Design Siobhán Thomas A thesis submitted to the Department of Management of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. London, June 2015 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 66,515 words. 2 Abstract The aim of this qualitative research study was to develop an understanding of the lived experiences of game designers from the particular vantage point of intersomatic awareness. Intersomatic awareness is an interbodily awareness based on the premise that the body of another is always understood through the body of the self. While the term intersomatics is related to intersubjectivity, intercoordination, and intercorporeality it has a specific focus on somatic relationships between lived bodies. This research examined game designers’ body-oriented design practices, finding that within design work the body is a ground of experiential knowledge which is largely untapped. To access this knowledge a hermeneutic methodology was employed. The thesis presents a functional model of intersomatic awareness comprised of four dimensions: sensory ordering, sensory intensification, somatic imprinting, and somatic marking. -
