Racconta la storia di una famiglia composta da padre, madre e due figli i quali scacciano tutte le babysitter e devono trovarne una che riesca a tenerli a bada. Aggrappata al suo ombrello volante arriva la loro salvezza, “Mary Poppins”, la baby sitter dei sogni che usa la magia per far divertire i bambini, oltre a trasportarli dentro i disegni e a mettere la loro camera in ordine con uno schiocco delle dita cantando l’allegro motivetto della pillola. Oggettivamente l’opera, per il periodo in cui è stata realizzata, è di livello molto alto, non per niente è uno dei film più famosi e con il maggior numero di remake.

    The Hollywood Cinema Industry’s Coming of Digital Age: the Digitisation of Visual Effects, 1977-1999 Volume I Rama Venkatasawmy BA (Hons) Murdoch This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. -------------------------------- Rama Venkatasawmy Abstract By 1902, Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Dans La Lune had already articulated a pivotal function for visual effects or VFX in the cinema. It enabled the visual realisation of concepts and ideas that would otherwise have been, in practical and logistical terms, too risky, expensive or plain impossible to capture, re-present and reproduce on film according to so-called “conventional” motion-picture recording techniques and devices. Since then, VFX – in conjunction with their respective techno-visual means of re-production – have gradually become utterly indispensable to the array of practices, techniques and tools commonly used in filmmaking as such. For the Hollywood cinema industry, comprehensive VFX applications have not only motivated the expansion of commercial filmmaking praxis. They have also influenced the evolution of viewing pleasures and spectatorship experiences. Following the digitisation of their associated technologies, VFX have been responsible for multiplying the strategies of re-presentation and story-telling as well as extending the range of stories that can potentially be told on screen. By the same token, the visual standards of the Hollywood film’s production and exhibition have been growing in sophistication.

In the early l990s I had heard about a provocative, long new play called Angels in America , but unlike many, who saw it in its gestation in San Francisco, Los Angeles or London or during its Broadway run in l993, I did not see Angels nor had I read or seen any of Kushner’s plays when I started this film in the fall of 2001. I had, however, read a short essay Tony had written called With a Little Help from My Friends , from his book Thinking About the Longstanding Problems of Virtue and Happiness . In this essay, Tony expressed his heartfelt thanks to all the people who had helped him become the playwright he is, especially following the acclaim of . I found the essay funny, generous, Angels in America Director Freida Lee Mock. openhearted, politically astute and surprising, and I said to myself, “Who is this Photo Joann Hertz person? No one thinks this way. Schadenfreude rules.” I loved the spirit of his ideas and the personality behind the writing. Shortly afterward I heard Tony speak at a college graduation. He was told he could speak but for one minute. His speech was hilarious and serious, highly political, a tour de force that surprised and inspired us about the possibilities of a better world.

Friday 7:45am to 9:45am by appt. Offices: TBD SA: SA: Jarrod Chatham [email protected] This course will explore the artistry and traditions of cinematic visual effects (VFX) with a particular emphasis on the indispensable nature of VFX in past, present, and future storytelling. We will examine the creative VFX problem-solving process that continues to be a vital part of cinema. From the earliest motion pictures of magician Georges Méliès (who helped introduce storytelling to movies), through the “trick shot” artists of early Hollywood, to the modern “wizards” hailed for conjuring the visions of the modern blockbuster. Our class will view specific shots, scenes and entire films, and then discuss their technical and dramatic achievements. After viewing film clips in class, students will be asked to present their assumptions (and guesses) as to how the VFX was accomplished and how effective (or not) this contribution was to the film. From this beginning, students will then discover how the shots/scenes were created. In addition, we will discuss the reasons why various techniques were employed to achieve the final result. Each week, students will be assigned reading and viewing homework followed by a discussion in class. Visual effects are forever tied to the mystery of film and its enduring power to beguile and enchant. Class discussions will culminate in a final exam in which students will be assigned specific films to analyze.
