  • Facial Animation: Overview and Some Recent Papers
    Facial animation: overview and some recent papers Benjamin Schroeder January 25, 2008 Outline Iʼll start with an overview of facial animation and its history; along the way Iʼll discuss some common approaches. After that Iʼll talk about some notable recent papers and finally offer a few thoughts about the future. 1 Defining the problem 2 Historical highlights 3 Some recent papers 4 Thoughts on the future Defining the problem Weʼll take facial animation to be the process of turning a characterʼs speech and emotional state into facial poses and motion. (This might extend to motion of the whole head.) Included here is the problem of modeling the form and articulation of an expressive head. There are some related topics that we wonʼt consider today. Autonomous characters require behavioral models to determine what they might feel or say. Hand and body gestures are often used alongside facial animation. Faithful animation of hair and rendering of skin can greatly enhance the animation of a face. Defining the problem This is a tightly defined problem, but solving it is difficult. We are intimately aware of how human faces should look, and sensitive to subtleties in the form and motion. Lip and mouth shapes donʼt correspond to individual sounds, but are context-dependent. These are further affected by the emotions of the speaker and by the language being spoken. Many different parts of the face and head work together to convey meaning. Facial anatomy is both structurally and physically complex: there are many layers of different kinds of material (skin, fat, muscle, bones). Defining the problem Here are some sub-questions to consider.

Dickson and Antonia Dickson. “My intention is to have such a happy combination of electricity and photography that a man can sit in his own parlor and see reproduced on a screen the forms of the players in an opera produced on a distant stage, and, as he sees their movements, he will hear the sound of their voices as they talk or sing or laugh... [B]efore long it will be possible to apply this system to prize fights and boxing exhibitions. The whole scene with the comments of the spectators, the talk of the seconds, the noise of the blows, and so on will be faithfully transferred.” Thomas Edison Remarks at the private demonstration of the (silent) Kinetoscope prototype The Federation of Women’s Clubs, May 20, 1891 This Evening’s Film Selections All films in this program were originally shot on 35mm, but are shown tonight from 16mm duplicate prints.

  • FILM-GOING in the SILENT ERA Elizabeth Ezra in The
    THE CINEMISING PROCESS: FILM-GOING IN THE SILENT ERA Elizabeth Ezra In the Surrealist text Nadja, published in 1928, André Breton reminisces about going to the cinema in the days ‘when, with Jacques Vaché we would settle down to dinner in the orchestra of [the cinema in] the former Théâtre des Folies- Dramatiques, opening cans, slicing bread, uncorking bottles, and talking in ordinary tones, as if around a table, to the great amazement of the spectators, who dared not say a word’ (Breton 1960 [1928]: 37). When Breton recalled these youthful antics, which had probably taken place in the late teens or early twenties, he characterized them as ‘a question of going beyond the bounds of what is “allowed,” which, in the cinema as nowhere else, prepared me to invite in the “forbidden” (Breton 1951; original emphasis). Breton’s remarks beg the following questions. How did such behaviour in a cinema come to be considered transgressive? How did the structures emerge that made it a transgressive act to speak or eat a meal in the cinema, to reject, in other words, the narrative absorption that had become a standard feature of the filmgoing experience? The conventions that gave meaning to such forms of transgression emerged over the course of the silent era in what may be called, to adapt Norbert Elias’s term, ‘the cinemizing process’ (1994). The earliest historians of cinema already relied heavily on a rhetoric of lost innocence (witness the multiple accounts of the first cinema-goers cowering under their seats in front of the Lumière brothers’ film of a train pulling into a station); the cinemizing process thus presupposes a ‘golden age’ of naive, uninitiated spectatorship followed by 2 an evolution of audiences into worldy-wise creatures of habit.

  • Popular Song Recordings and the Disembodied Voice
    Lipsynching: Popular Song Recordings and the Disembodied Voice Merrie Snell Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts and Cultures April 2015 Abstract This thesis is an exploration and problematization of the practice of lipsynching to pre- recorded song in both professional and vernacular contexts, covering over a century of diverse artistic practices from early sound cinema through to the current popularity of vernacular internet lipsynching videos. This thesis examines the different ways in which the practice provides a locus for discussion about musical authenticity, challenging as well as re-confirming attitudes towards how technologically-mediated audio-visual practices represent musical performance as authentic or otherwise. It also investigates the phenomenon in relation to the changes in our relationship to musical performance as a result of the ubiquity of recorded music in our social and private environments, and the uses to which we put music in our everyday lives. This involves examining the meanings that emerge when a singing voice is set free from the necessity of inhabiting an originating body, and the ways in which under certain conditions, as consumers of recorded song, we draw on our own embodiment to imagine “the disembodied”. The main goal of the thesis is to show, through the study of lipsynching, an understanding of how we listen to, respond to, and use recorded music, not only as a commodity to be consumed but as a culturally-sophisticated and complex means of identification, a site of projection, introjection, and habitation,
