  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Like a Faint Echo Emanating from the Netherworld, the Theme of Temptation Is Sung by a Large Choir of Bass Voices As a Representation of Mephistopheles
    Measures 1-11: Mephistopheles' theme: Like a faint echo emanating from the netherworld, the theme of temptation is sung by a large choir of bass voices as a representation of Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles promises Faust both joy and love in exchange for accepting the pact he's proposing. Measures 12-19: Faust's theme: Faust, a highly-educated scientist, is a lonely and bitter man who feels spurned by years devoted entirely to the pursuit of knowledge, while not providing him with any personal satisfaction. He has never tried to seduce the woman whom he has always loved from afar. In considering this situation, Faust laments. Measures 20-29: Reintroduction of the Mephistopheles theme (dialogue between Mephistopheles and Faust) In sensing Faust's vulnerability, Mephistopheles resumes his theme of temptation with greater force and conviction. Mephistopheles' words and promises resonate in Faust's subconscious. Measures 30-48: Reintroduction of Faust's theme, followed by the development of Mephistopheles' theme While continuing to lament his miserable situation, Faust is extremely tempted by Mephistopheles' entreaties. He considers teaming up with the Devil as a way of recovering from his dire situation and finally seducing the woman he associates with true Love. Faust winds up succumbing to temptation and enters into a pact with Mephistopheles (transition measure 36). At this point, Faust recites on his own Mephistopheles' theme, which then gets treated with a crescendo buildup until hitting higher notes. Faust feels "reborn". Measures 49-59: Finale Faust's theme is altered during a finale involving all instruments in the ensemble as well as the choir.

  • In Goethe's Faust, Unlike the Earlier Versions of the Story, the Faithless
    1 In G​ oethe’s Faust,​ unlike the earlier versions of the story, the faithless sinner that is Faust receives grace and goes to Heaven, rather than being thrown to the fires of Hell. Faust’s redemption is contrary to every other redemption in every other story we have read up till now. Faust wasn’t asking forgiveness from God, unlike his beloved Margaret, and so many others before him. Faust doesn’t seem even to believe in the all mighty, even when directly talking to the Devil himself. Yet, in the end, Mephisto’s plot is foiled, Faust’s soul is not cast into the inferno, but raised to paradise. Goethe has Faust receive a secular salvation, through Faust’s actions rather than through his belief. Goethe shows both the importance of action versus words, and Faust’s familiarity with the Bible, with Faust’s translation of Logos, “It says: ‘In the beginning was the W​ ord… I​ write: In the beginning was the A​ct.” (​G​ oethe's Faust,​ line 1224, 1237) Here, Faust demonstrates a clear understanding of a theological problem, the importance of a single word within the Bible. Having Logos translated as “the Word” has many more different implications than if it means “the Act”. The Act would imply the creation of everything was a direct application of Gods will. He did not need to say for something happen, God did something to put the universe in motion by action alone. Goethe includes this translation of Logos, as the Act instead of the Word, for several reasons.

  • To Obtain His Soul’: Demonic Desire for the Soul in Marlowe and Others
    Early Theatre 5.2(2002) john d. cox ‘To obtain his soul’: Demonic Desire for the Soul in Marlowe and Others ‘O, what will I not do to obtain his soul?’ exclaims Mephistopheles in Dr Faustus, at a moment of fearful doubt on Faustus’s part.1 The exclamation is a rare revelation of the devil’s purpose in this play. For the most part, Mephistopheles appears to be a courteous servant to a gentleman scholar: suave and anxious to please. His exclamation of desire for Faustus’s soul, however, betrays an unexpressed craving to dominate Faustus completely and forever. Mephistopheles has demanded that Faustus sign over his soul to the devil, but in the midst of signing Faustus has begun to waver, and the blood in the wound that he made to sign his name has ceased to flow. Surely this must be a providential warning against apostasy! Then Mephistopheles fetches a chafer of coals: ‘Here’s fire. Come, Faustus, set it on’ (2.1.70); the blood ‘begins to clear again’ (71); and Faustus signs. This is the moment at which Mephistopheles exclaims, in obvious self-congratulation, about his longing for Faustus’s soul. The exclamation seems to imply Mephistopheles’ glee at successful misdi- rection. Making the blood flow by warming the body reduces the problem of congealing blood to mere physiology, erasing Faustus’s fear of peril to his soul. Mephistopheles thus prevents Faustus from going back on his determination to serve the devil, so the demonic servant exults at having fooled Faustus into submission. This inference is confirmed when Mephistopheles uses the same technique immediately afterwards.

  • Jan Švankmajer - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 2/18/08 6:16 PM
    Jan Švankmajer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 2/18/08 6:16 PM Jan Švankmajer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jan Švankmajer (born 4 September 1934 in Prague) is a Jan Švankmajer Czech surrealist artist. His work spans several media. He is known for his surreal animations and features, which have greatly influenced other artists such as Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, The Brothers Quay and many others. Švankmajer has gained a reputation over several decades for his distinctive use of stop-motion technique, and his ability to make surreal, nightmarish and yet somehow funny pictures. He is still making films in Prague at the time of Still from Dimensions of Dialogue, 1982 writing. Born 4 September 1934 Prague, Czechoslovakia Švankmajer's trademarks include very exaggerated sounds, often creating a very strange effect in all eating scenes. He Occupation Animator often uses very sped-up sequences when people walk and Spouse(s) Eva Švankmajerová interact. His movies often involve inanimate objects coming alive and being brought to life through stop-motion. Food is a favourite subject and medium. Stop-motion features in most of his work, though his feature films also include live action to varying degrees. A lot of his movies, like the short film Down to the Cellar, are made from a child's perspective, while at the same time often having a truly disturbing and even aggressive nature. In 1972 the communist authorities banned him from making films, and many of his later films were banned. He was almost unknown in the West until the early 1980s. Today he is one of the most celebrated animators in the world.

  • The Battle of Good and Evil in the Picture of Dorian Gray
    University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English The Battle of Good and Evil in The Picture of Dorian Gray B.A Essay Svanhvít Helga Magnúsdóttir 0507922429 Supervisor: Ingibjörg Ágústsdóttir September 2015 1!! Abstract The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only novel published by Oscar Wilde. The novel is considered to be one of the most controversial literary works of the 19th century. In his novel Wilde uses his three main characters to reflect the battle of good and evil that exists in every man. The conflict of choosing between good and evil exists in every human with free will. This essay explores how the battle between good and evil is represented in the characters of Basil Hallward and Lord Henry Wotton in The Picture of Dorian Gray. It also discusses how Dorian Gray represents the everyman that deals with the battle of having to choose a side between good and evil. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a story about the spiritual journey of Dorian Gray, a beautiful young man tempted by the concept of eternal youth and beauty. Wilde uses personal experience and different literary themes to create his novel. In the novel there are elements of gothic fiction, aestheticism and the Faustian bargain. Faust and The Picture of Dorian Gray have many similarities, both in the structure of the stories, as well as in themes and plot. This essay looks at the similarities and differences between the corresponding representatives of good and evil, Lord Henry and Mephistopheles, Basil, the Lord and the three angels and Dorian Gray and Faust.
