  • Managing Creativity in a Successful Company – Aardman Animations
    <CN>Chapter 14:</CN> <CT>‘It’s Our Property and Our Passion’: Managing Creativity in a Successful Company – Aardman Animations <AU>Andrew Spicer <NP>It has become a cultural and commercial necessity for media firms to promote themselves as dynamic and innovative ‘creative companies’ and therefore attractive to potential employees, associated companies or funders. Although the concept of creativity has been extensively discussed, as Philip Schlesinger argued a decade ago in his critique of the ‘doctrine’ of creativity, the central question for critical empirical research is ‘in what form ideas about creativity and innovation become organizationally embedded and to what extent they shape the actual management of creative practice […] how ideas about creativity are actually interpreted in the practice of production’ (2007: 387, original emphasis). A central problem, which Mark Banks argues ‘is the distinctive feature of cultural production’, is the tension between the rational, accumulative and standardising logic of capitalist production and the irrational, unruly, unpredictable and potentially disruptive demands of the creative worker who values her autonomy (2007: 30, original emphasis). Although creativity and commerce are often polarized, in modern media firms they are always ‘intermingled and interfused’ in an unstable and shifting interplay that evolves over time (Negus and Pickering 2004: 46–67). <TEXT>This chapter develops an extended analysis of the management of creative practice in one of the most successful UK film and television companies, Aardman Animations, which has evolved from a hand-to-mouth two-person operation in 1976 to a medium-sized firm with a £22.3 million turnover in 2014 and over 150 employees, a number that rises to more than 600 when two films are being produced simultaneously (Baker 2014).

  • Friday 17 – Sunday 26 November 2017
    Friday 17 – Sunday 26 November 2017 www.foylefilmfestival.org WELCOME Welcome to the Foyle Film Festival – yes it is THAT time of year again. But this is an extra special time for the festival as it celebrates its 30th year. The programme has increased to 10 days in order to celebrate this milestone birthday in style with a jam-packed programme of screenings and special guest events. The festival launches with the Northern Ireland Premiere of Battle Of The Sexes – the true story of the famous tennis match between women’s world champion Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex–men’s champion Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell). The event became one of the most popular televised sports events of all time. The Closing Night film is The Man Who Invented Christmas and recounts how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) created Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Other highlights include the Shorts To Features Conference with special guest Jim Sheridan in conversation about his long and distinguished career. Jim Sheridan will also introduce a special screening of My Left Foot in Brunswick Moviebowl. The cult movie Withnail And I shares Foyle Film Festival’s 30th birthday celebrations this year, and the festival programme includes a special screening with Richard E. Grant in attendance to talk about this hilarious classic and his career in the film industry. The festival pays tribute to the late Sam Shepard with a screening of Days Of Heaven. In a special event following the screening, Stephen Rea and Judith Roddy will read from the short stories of Sam Shepard.

  • FILM 1/30E No.4 from Wales to Puszta
    FILM 1/30e No.4 From Wales to Puszta Colin Rose(BBC), Nick Park,Peter Lord and David Sproxton from Aardman Animations By Takashi Namiki I traveled around Europe to attend animation festivals in three countries. Each festival had its own characteristic as each country has unique nationality; films. I found films shown there, management and so many other things greatly varied in the three festivals. The daily news letter distributed during the festival showed the difference very clearly. In Cardiff, they have the news letter called "The Daily" with full-colored cover page, and the steal of the major films of the day. It gave me an impression of very "formal" one, but at the same time it was too formal to convey the atmosphere of the on-going event. Of course it had one-colored page telling the latest news with the picture of the participants taken just the day before, but the next page happened to be the colored ads. and you could easily tell that this news letter had been prepared long time ago. On the contrary, "Szem Szog" distributed in Kecskemet was very simple and it was only in Hungarian, it reminded me of ANIDO's old-time mimeographed copy. It was just one piece of paper printed on both sides, but the schedule of the day and the casual drawings and comments by the directors told us what's happening around the festival better than the one published in Cardiff. However, as a reference for the later use, it did not have much of the information in it, moreover the number of the copies was limited so that they would run out of them in the afternoon.
