Stills Section The new Stills Section is completed and online. We’ve even started expanding the new Production Code Database, as we’re closing in on 60,000 production codes to help identify unknown movie stills and costumes. All the articles have been moved and even the Production Code Basics book is there to help you. Artists Section This is where our focus is right now because it is so huge. This is another impossible area where we’re basically trying to create an information gathering place. We currently have a little over 1600 movie poster artists documented in the section. The new Poster Artists Identification Log is now online with all 1600 listed and over 800 signatures to help identify and direct to their country of birth. 8 We already had prepared a couple of hundred artist biographies with photos, lists of the titles and images of some of their artwork. We are in the process now of putting those online with over 100 already available online. Once we finish the ones that were prepared, we will then begin going down each country with as much information on each artist as we have on file. We also have several articles online about the procedures and steps to become a finished movie poster used in the theaters. While LAMP already has more compiled information on movie poster artists than anywhere else, we hope this new format will help expand, gather and make a lot more artist information available to all of our members. If you need info on an artist not online yet, email me. ~~~0~~~ LAMP SALUTES MOVIE POSTER ARTISTS We have been called many things – some good, some not-so-good. I believe one of our favorites is “track-a-holics”. We track just about anything associated with movie posters, so as we expand each section, we plan to experiment with a few ideas that we’ve been tracking to see the response. Here is one: Without sound or movement, a movie poster must attract the viewers’ attention, and somehow portray the whole spirit of the movie at a moment’s glance. In addition, a great deal of the success or failure of the movie rests on its ability to entice the viewer to want to see the movie. With the beautiful artwork and the soul of the movie in one piece of paper, it’s no wonder why movie poster collecting is so popular. It’s like bottling your favorite memories of a movie and saving them for later on this simple poster. The artists that carry this heavy burden have to be some of the best in the world. How terrible would our collection be if each poster only had the title on it and NO ARTWORK!!. We wanted to present a series to salute these mostly unheralded giants that a great deal of our collections are based upon – the artist. This week we present biographies on two movie poster artists that happen to share a birthday this week. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 9 Movie Poster Artists Born This Week We wanted to try out a new series just to see what everyone thought. If this is a topic of interest, email me ([email protected]) and let us know any comments, questions or suggestions. We have two artists on file that were born this week: Thomas Hart Benton Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975) was born on April 15, 1889 in Neosho, Missouri, the son of a Missouri congressman and the grandson of a U.S. senator. In 1907, Benton enrolled at the The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. Two years later, he moved to Paris in 1909 to continue his art education at the Académie Julian. After studying in Europe, Benton moved to New York City in 1912 and resumed painting. During World War I, he served in the U.S. Navy and was stationed at Norfolk, Virginia where he was directed to make drawings and illustrations of shipyard work and life. Benton contributed to the American Scene Painting movement. He captured modern American life in the 1920s and 1930s through his carefully rendered land- and cityscapes. In 1935, Benton turned his back on the eastern art establish-ment, moved permanently to Missouri, and continued to cultivate his grass roots style of art called Regionalism. He became an instructor of drawing and painting at the Kansas City Art Institute where his most famous pupil was the Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock. Benton’s art can be found on movie posters including the original and 1947 re-release Style A for The Grapes of Wrath (left) and the 1955 film Kentuckian (right) He died at the age of eighty-six while in his studio on his beloved Martha's Vineyard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10 Alan LaVern Bean Alan LaVern Bean (1932 - ) was born March 15, 1932, in Wheeler, Texas. Bean was an American naval officer and aviator, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, and NASA astronaut. Bean was the fourth person to walk on the moon. He was selected to become an astronaut by N ASA in 1963 as part of Astronaut Group 3. He made his first flight into space aboard Apollo 12, the second manned mission to land on the Moon, at the age of thirty-seven years in November 1969. He made his second and final flight into space on the Skylab 3 mission in 1973, the second manned mission to the Skylab space station. After retiring from the United States Navy in 1975 and NASA in 1981, he pursued his interest in painting, depicting various space-related scenes and documenting his own experiences in space as well as that of his fellow Apollo program astronauts. In 1989, Bean’s artwork appeared on the movie poster (right) for the Apollo-themed documentary For All Mankind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more movie poster artists biographies like these, they are available to LAMP Members and Sponsors online in the new Member Section. 11 SPECIAL STAR WARS SECTION IN JUNE MAJOR AUCTION We will have a special Star Wars section in our June Major Auction, and there are only A FEW DAYS LEFT to send any consignments you might have for this very special auction (they must be on their way to us no later than April 26th)!

That is because we now have a gallery of ALL the Star Wars posters that have already been consigned to eMoviePoster.com's June Major Auction (as of 4/17).

  • Film, Photojournalism, and the Public Sphere in Brazil and Argentina, 1955-1980
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MODERNIZATION AND VISUAL ECONOMY: FILM, PHOTOJOURNALISM, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE IN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA, 1955-1980 Paula Halperin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Barbara Weinstein Department of History University of Maryland, College Park My dissertation explores the relationship among visual culture, nationalism, and modernization in Argentina and Brazil in a period of extreme political instability, marked by an alternation of weak civilian governments and dictatorships. I argue that motion pictures and photojournalism were constitutive elements of a modern public sphere that did not conform to the classic formulation advanced by Jürgen Habermas. Rather than treating the public sphere as progressively degraded by the mass media and cultural industries, I trace how, in postwar Argentina and Brazil, the increased production and circulation of mass media images contributed to active public debate and civic participation. With the progressive internationalization of entertainment markets that began in the 1950s in the modern cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires there was a dramatic growth in the number of film spectators and production, movie theaters and critics, popular magazines and academic journals that focused on film. Through close analysis of images distributed widely in international media circuits I reconstruct and analyze Brazilian and Argentine postwar visual economies from a transnational perspective to understand the constitution of the public sphere and how modernization, Latin American identity, nationhood, and socio-cultural change and conflict were represented and debated in those media. Cinema and the visual after World War II became a worldwide locus of production and circulation of discourses about history, national identity, and social mores, and a space of contention and discussion of modernization.

Fighting and dancing games both emerge from Asia, and they both foreground the body. They strip down bodily movement into elemental actions like stepping, kicking, leaping, and tapping, and make these the form and content of the game. I argue that fighting and dancing games point to a key dynamic in videogame play: the programming of the body into the algorithmic logic of the game, a logic that increasingly organizes the informatic structure of everyday work and leisure in a globally interconnected information economy.

  • Black and White Conversion
    From www.adobe.com/designcenter Product used Adobe Photoshop CS2 Black and White Conversion “One sees differently with color photography than black and white...in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.” –Ansel Adams The original color image. (left) The adjusted black and white conversion. (center) The final color toned black and white image. (right) Seeing in black and white Black and white conversions are radical transformations of images. They’re about reestablishing the tonal founda- tions of an image. That’s quite different than dodging and burning, or lightening and darkening locally, which is a matter of accentuating existing tonal relationships. The Channels palette shows the red, green, and blue components of a color image. Each channel offers a useful black and white interpretation of the color image that you can use to adjust the color. The key concept is for you to use the color channels as black and white layers. 2 Conversion methods There are almost a dozen ways to convert an image from color to black and white; and you can probably find at least one expert to support each way as the best conversion method. The bottom line is that most conversion methods work reasonably well. The method that works best for you depends on your particular workflow and the tools that you’re comfortable with. The following method isn’t necessarily the best and it isn’t the fastest—it generates a larger file—but it offers you the most control and flexibility. Creating layers from channels offers you more control than any other conversion method.

  • Surrealism in and out of the Czechoslovak New Wave
    Introduction Surrealism In and Out of the Czechoslovak New Wave Figure I.1 A poet’s execution. A Case for the Young Hangman (Případ pro začínajícího kata, Pavel Juráček, 1969) ©Ateliéry Bonton Zlín, reproduced by courtesy of Bonton Film. 2 | Avant-Garde to New Wave The abrupt, rebellious flowering of cinematic accomplishment in the Czechoslovakia of the 1960s was described at the time as the ‘Czech film miracle’. If the term ‘miracle’ referred here to the very existence of that audacious new cinema, it could perhaps also be applied to much of its content: the miraculous and marvellous are integral to the revelations of Surrealism, a movement that claimed the attention of numerous 1960s filmmakers. As we shall see, Surrealism was by no means the only avant-garde tradition to make a significant impact on this cinema. But it did have the most pervasive influence. This is hardly surprising, as Surrealism has been the dominant mode of the Czech avant-garde during the twentieth century, even if at certain periods that avant-garde has not explicitly identified its work as Surrealist. Moreover, the very environment of the Czech capital of Prague has sometimes been considered one in which Surrealism was virtually predestined to take root. The official founder of the Surrealist movement, André Breton, lent his imprimatur to the founding of a Czech Surrealist group when he remarked on the sublimely conducive locality of the capital, which Breton describes as ‘one of those cities that electively pin down poetic thought’ and ‘the magic capital of old Europe’.1 Indeed, it would seem a given that Czech cinema should evince a strong Surrealist tendency, especially when we consider the Surrealists’ own long-standing passion for this most oneiric of art forms.

  • Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South
    Antoni Górny Appalling! Terrifying! Wonderful! Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South Abstract: The so-called blaxploitation genre – a brand of 1970s film-making designed to engage young Black urban viewers – has become synonymous with channeling the political energy of Black Power into larger-than-life Black characters beating “the [White] Man” in real-life urban settings. In spite of their urban focus, however, blaxploitation films repeatedly referenced an idea of the South whose origins lie in antebellum abolitionist propaganda. Developed across the history of American film, this idea became entangled in the post-war era with the Civil Rights struggle by way of the “race problem” film, which identified the South as “racist country,” the privileged site of “racial” injustice as social pathology.1 Recently revived in the widely acclaimed works of Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained) and Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave), the two modes of depicting the South put forth in blaxploitation and the “race problem” film continue to hold sway to this day. Yet, while the latter remains indelibly linked, even in this revised perspective, to the abolitionist vision of emancipation as the result of a struggle between idealized, plaintive Blacks and pathological, racist Whites, blaxploitation’s troping of the South as the fulfillment of grotesque White “racial” fantasies offers a more powerful and transformative means of addressing America’s “race problem.” Keywords: blaxploitation, American film, race and racism, slavery, abolitionism The year 2013 was a momentous one for “racial” imagery in Hollywood films. Around the turn of the year, Quentin Tarantino released Django Unchained, a sardonic action- film fantasy about an African slave winning back freedom – and his wife – from the hands of White slave-owners in the antebellum Deep South.

Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2006. 374-391. Hollywood, soon to become the United States’ national film industry, was founded in the early teens by a group of film companies which came to Los Angeles at first to escape the winter conditions of their New York- and Chicago-based production locations. However, the advantages of production in southern California—particularly the varied landscapes in the region crucial for exterior, on-location photography—soon made Hollywood the dominant film production center in the country.i Hollywood, of course, is not synonymous with filmmaking in the United States. Before the early 1910s, American filmmaking was mostly New York-based, and specialized in the production of short films (circa 1909, a one-reel short, or approximately 10 minutes). At the time, French film companies dominated global film distribution, and it was more likely that one would see a French film in the United States than an American-produced one.
