    de•C ARDOZOnovo L AW R EVIEW PRESERVING FILM PRESERVATION FROM THE RIGHT OF PUBLICITY1 Christopher Buccafusco† Jared Vasconcellos Grubow* Ian J. Postman# INTRODUCTION Newly available digital tools enable content producers to recreate or reanimate people’s likenesses, voices, and behaviors with almost perfect fidelity. We will have soon reached the point (if we haven’t already) when a movie studio could make an entire “live action” feature film without having to film any living actors. Computer generated images (CGI) could entirely replace the need for human beings to stand in front of cameras and recite lines. Digital animation raises a number of important legal and social issues, including labor relations between actors and movie studios, the creation and dissemination of fake news items, and the production of 1 Copyright 2018 by Christopher Buccafusco, Jared Vasconcellos Grubow, and Ian J.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Time of the Thriller: Suspense and Continuity after World War II A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Martin Zirulnik 2019 © Copyright by Martin Zirulnik 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Time of the Thriller: Suspense and Continuity after World War II by Martin Zirulnik Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Ursula K. Heise, Chair Through the analysis of a selection of thrillers written and produced in the years immediately following World War II, this dissertation defines the threshold conditions of narrative suspense in the twentieth century—the pending disappearance of continuity, not just in techniques of storytelling but in longstanding assumptions about time, about how it is and how it ought to be organized. These works, for instance, seem in various ways to prefigure a more general attenuation of narrative retrospection—narrative retrospection as a grammatical convention of realist fiction but also as a form of belief, as fidelity to the qualitative density of human experience as it is transmitted through time. This period of aesthetic transition, marked by the iconoclasm of the avant-garde, is often seen as a terminal point in the history of storytelling after modernism, a time (though certainly not the only time) when the novel dies along with the systems of value that upheld it. Alternately, as more recent scholarship has shown, it can be seen as the moment when the present tense starts to gain traction as the dominant mode of fictionalizing time.

  • Monster Scaling and Traits for Lore and Player Knowledge
    Monster Scaling and Traits for Lore and Player Knowledge Greetings, Acendians! We’re excited to showcase our Monster Scaling & Traits for you today. ​ The information in the guide below should illuminate how we create monsters, threats, and adversaries, and keep them accountable for both players and staff. By sharing this document with the public, we hope that it helps establish a sense of accountability on the fields of battle, so that we can reduce the amount of negative experiences with hidden knowledge. We’re mostly speaking about the meta-play behind monster stats. As in most roleplaying games, knowing the stats of the enemy you face off against can be both wildly beneficial and rewarding, but also immersion-breaking. Furthermore, it opens a space for players and staff to clash over what exactly is acceptable within monster creation; which often result in hurt feelings, accusations of favoritism, or pointed jabs about metagaming. We’re hoping to dispel a lot of these feelings before they start. Eliminating frustrations behind unknown stats is, to us, a huge Return On Investment, as far as effort. By providing creation guidelines, both players and staff can be assured that the creatures roaming the countryside are well-crafted, balanced, and held accountable. If, for whatever reason, you believe a creature breaks these guidelines, we want you to speak up. The best practice is to inform a staff member when the combat has slowed down, or the mod has ended. We hope this document at least provides a serviceable frame of reference for creatures in the future.
