  • Formación a Los Jóvenes Animadores. I Edición Del Máster En
    Formación A los jóvenes animadores. I edición del Máster en Animación UPV: una experiencia compartida Adriana Navarro Este artículo está dirigido a quienes quieran continuar aprendiendo animación, compartiendo con quien tenga curiosidad mi experiencia personal al haber cursado este Máster. Espero que esta lectura les resulte útil. Pero, antes de comenzar, permítanme que me presente: me llamo Adriana Navarro, y soy de Barakaldo. Cursé mis dos primeros años de carrera en Salamanca para luego aterrizar en la única Facultad de España donde se impartía animación, la Facultad de Bellas Artes en la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. Allí me especialicé en Animación. Durante el último curso trabajé como asistente en prácticas para un corto de la animadora Mª Carmen Poveda. Sentía que me faltaba algo por hacer, por lo que decidí acometer estudios superiores que me permitiesen profundizar en el conocimiento de la Animación, asentar bien las bases de lo aprendido y adquirir más nivel, de mano de grandes profesionales. Esa es la experiencia que me dispongo a compartir con ustedes. ¿Cómo empezar? Una panorámica sobre el Máster El Máster es un continuum que comienza con el estudio de la preproducción; continúa abordando los diferentes aspectos de la producción, profundiza en aspectos propios del proceso de animar, y se cierra con la técnica del 3D. Se trata, pues, de un largo proceso de aprendizaje y asimilación. La docencia se da en forma de módulos o cursos intensivos. Estos cursos se dan en forma de asignaturas y “Workshops” o talleres. Especialmente en los Con A de animación. Formación “Workshops” se fomentó el trabajo en equipo –tengamos presente que la animación es, mayormente, un trabajo compartido: con nuestros iguales, los tutores…– y se ofrecieron modelos para la creación de obras animadas en corto plazo de tiempo.

  • Domestication in Contemporary Polish Dubbing Urszula Leszczyńska, University of Warsaw, and Agnieszka Szarkowska, University of Warsaw/University College London
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 30 – July 2018 “I don't understand, but it makes me laugh.” Domestication in contemporary Polish dubbing Urszula Leszczyńska, University of Warsaw, and Agnieszka Szarkowska, University of Warsaw/University College London ABSTRACT Despite being (in)famous for its use of voice-over in fiction films, Poland also has a long- standing dubbing tradition. Contemporary Polish dubbing is largely domesticated: culture- bound items from the original are often replaced with elements of Polish culture, which is supposed to increase viewers’ enjoyment of the film. In this study, we examined whether Polish viewers can identify references to Polish culture in the contemporary Polish dubbing of foreign animated films and whether they enjoy them. With this goal in mind, we conducted an online survey and tested 201 participants. Given that many references relate to items from the near or distant past, we predicted that viewers may not fully understand them. The results show that, paradoxically, although viewers do not fully recognise references to Polish culture in contemporary Polish dubbing, they welcome such allusions, declaring that they make films more accessible. The most difficult category of cultural references to identify in our study turned out to be allusions to the canon of Polish literature, whereas the best scores were achieved in the case of references to social campaigns and films. Younger participants had more difficulties in recognising cultural allusions dating from before the 1990s compared to older participants. The vast majority of participants declared they enjoy domestication in contemporary Polish dubbing. KEYWORDS Dubbing, domestication, invisibility, ageing of translation, animated films, audiovisual translation, cultural references.

  • DOLE Goes Bananas with Nationwide Program
    - Advertisement - DOLE goes bananas with nationwide program June 8, 2012 As part of its ongoing goal to make bananas an even bigger part of America's everyday routine and to help support the launch of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, which features a banana-and- monkey-powered airplane, DOLE is joining forces with the studio on a number of marketing initiatives, including the placement of 100 million special movie-branded stickers on "DOLE" bananas sold throughout the country in June. "DreamWorks Animation and DOLE bananas are universally beloved brands with unique appeal across many different age groups, so a summer alliance makes a lot of sense," David Bright, vice president of marketing for Dole Fresh Fruit in Westlake 1 / 3 2 / 3 Village, CA, said in a press release. "We are delighted to join together with the studio and the whole Madagascar family - including the Zoosters and the ever-enthusiastic Penguins - to demonstrate high-energy new uses for America's most popular fruit." DOLE's alliance with DreamWorks and Madagascar 3 is part of Go Bananas Every Day, a year-long initiative to introduce compelling new ways to enjoy the fruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and as a healthier, natural alternative to processed energy bars and drinks loaded with sodium and sugar. A national Go Bananas Every Day tour will make stops in Portland, OR, Seattle, Baltimore and Charlotte, NC. Four versions of the character stickers feature Alex, Marty, the Madagascar penguins and monkeys. Dole is also creating a series of in-store Madagascar 3 promotional materials that, like the banana stickers, features a QR code directing consumers to a co-branded mobile page (www.dole.com/madagascar) offering DOLE bananas recipes and energy-related information, and the official Madagascar mobile app: Madagascar Join the Circus! Free to download, Madagascar: Join the Circus! features a special Dole banana cart that players can place in their own custom-designed Madagascar-style circus filled with acts and games featuring Madagascar characters.
