  • 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.

  • Integrating Video Clips Into the “Legacy Content” of the K–12 Curriculum: TV, Movies, and Youtube in the Classroom
    Integrating Video Clips into the “Legacy Content” of the K–12 Curriculum: TV, Movies, and YouTube in the Classroom Ronald A. Berk Disclaimer: This chapter is based on a presentation given at the annual Evaluation Systems Conference in Chicago. Since the content of the October 2008 presentation focused on using videos in the classrooms of the future, this chapter will not be able to capture the flavor and spirit of the actual videos shown. The audience exhibited a range of emotions, from laughter to weeping to laughter to weeping. Unfortunately, this print version will probably only bring about the weeping. Keep a box of tissues nearby. Enjoy. Using videos in teaching is not new. They date back to prehistoric times, when cave instructors used 16 mm projectors to show cave students examples of insurance company marketing commercials in business courses. Now even DVD players are history. So what’s new? There are changes in four areas: (1) the variety of video formats, (2) the ease with which the technology can facilitate their application in the classroom, (3) the number of video techniques a teacher can use, and (4) the research on multimedia learning that provides the theoretical and empirical support for their use as an effective teaching tool. A PC or Mac and a LCD projector with speakers can easily embed video clips for a PowerPoint presentation on virtually any topic. This chapter examines what we know and don’t know about videos and learning. It begins with detailed reviews of the theory and research on videos and the brain and multimedia learning.

  • The Satire/Parody Distinction in Copyright and Trademark Law— Can Satire Ever Be a Fair Use?
    ABA SECTION OF LITIGATION INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION COMMITTEE ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ONLINE The Satire/Parody Distinction in Copyright and Trademark Law— Can Satire Ever Be a Fair Use? Juli Wilson Marshall Nicholas J. Siciliano Latham & Watkins LLP 233 South Wacker Drive Sears Tower, Suite 5800 Chicago, Illinois 60606 [email protected] I. PARODY VERSUS SATIRE IN COPYRIGHT LAW: JUST ARGUE PARODY A. Fair Use Defense for a Copyright Claim The fair use of copyrighted works for purposes such as criticism or comment is not an infringement of copyright. See 17 U.S.C. § 107. The idea of fair use reflects copyright law’s careful consideration of First Amendment principles, as fair use permits later authors “to use a previous author’s copyright to introduce new ideas or concepts to the public.” SunTrust Bank v. Houghton Mifflin Co., 268 F.3d 1257, 1265 (11th Cir. 2001). Section 107 of the Copyright Act delineates a nonexclusive list of four factors to assist courts in determining whether a given use of a copyrighted work is fair. The factors include: 1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. The nature of the copyrighted work; 3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and 4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. 17 U.S.C. § 107. Each factor should be explored and weighed on a case-by-case basis, and depending on the facts of the case, some factors may weigh more heavily than others.

ALL YOU'RE DOING IS RECORDING IT." 1 In October 2007, the Bourne Company, copyright owners of "When You Wish Upon a Star," filed a complaint against Twentieth Century Fox and the producers of the popular animated TV show The Family Guy alleging "willful infringement of Plaintiffs copyright interests in the famous and iconic song."'2 This action resulted from an episode of The Family Guy titled "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" in which the main character Peter Griffin sings re-written lyrics of "I Need a Jew" to the melody of "When You Wish Upon a Star."' 3 The defendants will likely assert fair use under copyright law, an affirmative defense to copyright infringement.
