  • Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in the Simpsons
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD Film Studies in the University of Hull by Jemma Diane Gilboy, BFA, BA (Hons) (University of Regina), MScRes (University of Edinburgh) April 2016 Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons by Jemma D. Gilboy University of Hull 201108684 Abstract (Thesis Summary) The objective of this thesis is to establish meme theory as an analytical paradigm within the fields of screen and fan studies. Meme theory is an emerging framework founded upon the broad concept of a “meme”, a unit of culture that, if successful, proliferates among a given group of people. Created as a cultural analogue to genetics, memetics has developed into a cultural theory and, as the concept of memes is increasingly applied to online behaviours and activities, its relevance to the area of media studies materialises. The landscapes of media production and spectatorship are in constant fluctuation in response to rapid technological progress. The internet provides global citizens with unprecedented access to media texts (and their producers), information, and other individuals and collectives who share similar knowledge and interests. The unprecedented speed with (and extent to) which information and media content spread among individuals and communities warrants the consideration of a modern analytical paradigm that can accommodate and keep up with developments. Meme theory fills this gap as it is compatible with existing frameworks and offers researchers a new perspective on the factors driving the popularity and spread (or lack of popular engagement with) a given media text and its audience.

  • Ten Years Supporting, Delivering & Promoting the Whole Spectrum of Animation
    TEN YEARS SUPPORTING, DELIVERING & PROMOTING THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF ANIMATION Directors Message Wow – we made it to our 10th anniversary!! Who would have thought it? From very humble beginnings – our first festival in 2004 screened at the now-defunct Rupert Street Cinema in Piccadilly – to LIAF 2013, 10 days at 3 different venues. We have survived - sort of. Over 10 years we’ve received more than 12,000 entries, screened more than 2,500 films, and had some of the most talented animators in the world come and hang out with us. And we’ve had a ball on the way. It’s time to blow our own trumpet. As well as being the largest festival of it’s kind in the UK in terms of films and programmes screened, we have a substantial touring component and we run satellite events all year-round. We’ve screened at festivals, cinemas, theatres and colleges all around the world and in the UK and hopefully we have spread the word that animation is a valid artform that is only limited by the animator’s imagination. In short, our maxim is that in animation anything can happen. Long may this be. There are far too may people to thank here (hopefully you know who you are) but the guidance and immense work-rate of my co-Director Malcolm Turner has to be acknowledged. Way back when in our ground zero - actually in the year 1999 - I still vividly recall that very first meeting Malcolm and I had with our then-colleague Susi Allender in the back garden of our Melbourne flat.

We will generate, manipulate, and animate digital imagery into durative, artistic projects. To develop a broader context around moving images, we will watch, read, create, critique, and discuss. We will screen time-based works and study a collection of texts in relationship to historical, contemporary, and experimental uses of time-based digital media. The developments in digital imaging, computer simulation, and animation has shied notions of cinema and techniques of film/artmaking into ever-evolving forms. In the beginning of this course, we will create a constellation of short, experimental projects that aim to familiarize our art practices with various media, soware, techniques, contexts, and implications of animated computer imaging. The later duration of this course is aimed at synthesizing the relevant technical and creative concepts learned throughout the course into a self-directed, final project. Final works will be publicly exhibited at the end of the semester. Experimentation with media, non-traditional tools, platforms, and methods are encouraged. LEARNING GOALS Create original art using digital imaging, computer animation, and sequencing tools such as Blender,

  • Cailen Pybus
    Pybus 1 Introduction Beyond the entrance, passing under an enormous sculpture of a minotaur’s head, you walk down a long, straight, narrow corridor with walls of indistinguishable height disappearing into blackness. Despite the sense of crampt emptiness the corridor gives you, you are all the while comforted by the presence of dozens of other wonder-struck visitors. Your group distributes among four different floors where they remain for the rest of the excursion. Your group arrives at the first chamber and watches a huge film projected on both the floor and a wall in a way you’ve never seen before. The film finishes and you proceed behind the wall screen and through the narrow maze of the second chamber while formless ‘moving’ sounds and synchronized blinking lights reflect infinitely from mirrors all around you, and you find yourself in contemplation. Finally your group arrives at the third chamber, the last chamber, where you are once again confronted by a strange screen composed of five smaller screens arranged in a cross. You twist and turn your neck to see everything you can on the screens. You’re too close to see everything on the screens in a single gaze. You move and look and absorb every strange emotion unfold on the screen and around you until the film abruptly ends. You leave the pavilion. Emerging from darkness you see an elevated view of the St. Lawrence River and the remaining Expo grounds of Ile-Notre-Dame and Ile-Sainte-Helene in the distance. Such was the experience of the Labyrinth pavilion from the National Film Board of Canada at Expo ’671.

  • Psychological Realism in Modern Animation: Greater Unities of Form and Content
    1 Psychological Realism in Modern Animation: Greater Unities of Form and Content A Thesis Presented By Zack Shaw To The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree In the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2017 2 Psychological Realism in Modern Animation: Greater Unities of Form and Content A Thesis Presented By Zack Shaw ABSTRACT OF THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities Northeastern University April 2017 3 In his “The Myth of Total Cinema,” André Bazin offers his version of the historical narrative of filmmaking technologies, in which filmmakers move closer towards realistic representations with their work due to advancements in technologies. These technologies include camera mobility and volume, sound and microphone technology, set design, etc. There is a similar historical narrative for animation and animation filmmakers, where the technologies have improved over the years to create polished pieces of cinema with perfected colors and lines. Before these technologies, commonly used techniques posed limitations that actually impinged on the representation of the images; the images seemed less controlled because of clunky animation. In this way, these technological advances are less visually intrusive for an audience, and the images are more controllable. This thesis argues that contemporary animators have begun to reverse this trend, using antiquated animation techniques that intrude upon the quality of the image. Yet, the goal for these filmmakers is not to create jarring images without purpose but to create a harmonious message between the form of animation and the content that feels more psychologically real, rather than visually real.
