Society for Animation Studies © 2009 SAS Newsletter, v23n2, p.1 President’s Report Paul Ward As we near the end of 2010 I can reflect on my first year as President. Trying to balance the role with my day job (and have something approaching ‘a life’) has proved difficult at times. Since we attained incorporation and charitable status there are a number of things that the Society has to do in a more formal and standardised manner – finances, membership, the accounting of the annual conference are but three examples. The Board are working towards a standard approach to the annual conference, which will make things easier year-on-year for the organiser/chair, as well as safeguarding the interests of the Society and the hosting institution. Things are taking a little longer than anticipated due to some of my other work, but we will have things in place shortly. With regard to 2011’s conference, the planning continues and Romana Turina looks forward to welcoming you all to Athens in March. The Call for Papers is included below in this newsletter. Please note that although the conference title suggests a definite focus, this does NOT exclude people from submitting proposals on any and all areas of Animation research. Papers on history, technology, pedagogy and theory more generally are very welcome indeed. The deadline for submissions is the end of November. I would also remind people that we have several active groups on topics such as Pedagogy, Archives and Industry – as ever, the SAS is built on the activities and energy of its members. Many new members have joined during the year, and we continue to grow and develop. If anyone has any suggestions for how we can move these groups forward, or if you wish to be involved more directly in the business of the Society, please drop me a line. We are always looking for people who can assist with things like processing new (and renewing) members, maintaining our web presence, co-ordinating events . the list could be extended. As we grow as a Society, and face new challenges, we need more voluntary muscle! In the meantime, I wish you all good health and look forward to seeing you in Athens.

Society for Animation Studies © 2009 SAS Newsletter, v23n2, p.3 2011 SAS Conference Information Romana Turina The Rise of the Creative Economy: Digital Animation, Visual FXS, and Allied Technologies The 23rd Society for Animation Studies Annual Conference University of Indianapolis, Athens Campus, 18-20 March 2011 CALL FOR PAPERS The society for Animation Studies invites submissions for proposals for individual papers and panels for its 23rd Annual conference to be held in the Cultural Center of the University of Indianapolis, Athens Campus. The conference will be organized by the Academic Affair Department and the Communication Department of the University of Indianapolis. This year the conference will include presentations, screenings, roundtables, and workshops. The purpose of this conference is to explore the new skills needed for creating and sustaining a viable digital animation and visual arts industry as a driving force in the creative economy. The conference focuses on the learning needs of educators, students, working professionals, business executives, technology leaders, and public service decision makers in the fields of animation, computer gaming, digital visual arts, media, television, movies, computer science, and information technology. It intends to pay homage to the heritage left to the present by the masters of the past, as well as to investigate the grade in which traditional animation techniques can be beheld and interpreted in view of the future. It springs from the debate on the present state of things in the various sectors of animation studies, and aims to explore their future development in relationship to the current evolution in animation production. This conference will seek to address a wide breadth of questions, including the following: 1. What are the current and emerging animation technologies? Society for Animation Studies © 2009 SAS Newsletter, v23n2, p.4 2. How do visual arts shape stories and communicate through images, music and sound? 3. How does the past drive the present understanding of animation as art and entertainment? 4. How are the animation and visual FXS industries changing? 5. How are business strategies, organizational adaptation, and societal changes being affected by the animation and FXS industries’ evolution? 6. What impact are these factors of change having on society’s ability to develop the required workforce? 7. How does the field of animation contribute to economic development? 8. What are the prospects and promises of the emerging creative economy? Which countries are leading this process? What is happening in the rest of the world? 9. What interdisciplinary research is needed to expand the existing body of knowledge in the field of animation studies? How can this body of knowledge be categorized, organized and disseminated? 10. What educational potential is opened by the evolving sociological perception of animation? Do technology and the entertainment industry play a role in this evolution? 11. Game industry: animation as entertainment, artistic and educational potential at the forefront? 12. Open source: a matter of philosophy and revolution? 13. If history of animation is the ground of the pioneers, what can its history teach us today? 14. Teaching animation: academic acknowledgement of the field and its problems. 15. New technologies in animation: showcase, applications, and new theories. Conference Format: The conference will follow five conference tracks that will address one or more of the conference questions: 1. The digital revolution in animation, its applications and its relationships to the traditional techniques. 2. Paradigms for enhancing the dialogue between traditional animation studies and new approaches towards a deeper knowledge of the craft/field. 3. Paradigms for animation as a key player in the creative economy; the power and potential of games and images in education, simulations, and trials. 4. Paradigms for integrating new technologies into life service networks. 5. How are society and culture changing due to the animation and FXS industries’ evolution? GUIDELINES FOR PROPOSAL (ABSTRACT) SUBMISSION: Email your submission with the proposal attached to Ms. Romana Turina at [email protected].

  • 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.

  • Comparative Collective Biography Animated Film Studios in Zlín (Czech
    Animation studios in Gottwaldov and Lodz (1945/47-1990) - Comparative Collective Biography Animated film studios in Zlín (Czech Republic) and Łódź (Poland) were among the most successful film production centers in the Eastern Bloc. World-renowned personalities such as Karel Zeman, Hermina Týrlová, Daniel Szczechura or Zbigniew Rybczyński have worked there, and their films have won the world's most prestigious awards at festivals in Cannes, Venice, and Locarno or the Oscar Academy Award. During their existence, both studios have produced thousands of animated, puppet and combined films; an important part of their work was custom production as well, especially for television. Besides animation movies, also fiction, documentary, school or advertising films were produced in these studios. However, the history of the successful and prominent animated production of these studios has so far been presented only by popularizing or commemorative publications, portraits of individual filmmakers or analysis of selected films. The project aims to analyze and compare Gottwaldov and Lodz film animation centers. The animated production of the Short Film company´s branch in Gottwaldov (which later became an independent Film Studio Gottwaldov) followed the film production of the Baťa Company in the 1930s, was created outside of the administrative center of film production in Prague. The specific position of the in Zlín/Gottwaldov and Studio of Small Film Forms Se-Ma-For Łódź studios makes them an ideal focus of a comparative research. The research would be methodologically based on prosopographic research (i.e., on collective monographs of a selected group of studio workers). In similarity to Gottwaldov, Łódź has its tradition of film production cultivated outside the administrative center in Warsaw.

  • Jiří Trnka at BFI Southbank in April 2012
    PRESS RELEASE March 2012 12/12 JiĜí Trnka At BFI Southbank in April 2012 Throughout April 2012, BFI Southbank celebrates the work of the Czech animation pioneer JiĜí Trnka (1912- 69) with a retrospective season in this, the centenary of his birth. The so called Walt Disney of the East, Trinka was responsible for introducing the Czech puppet film to the world and, in doing, has influenced the work of the likes of Jean Cocteau and the Quay Brothers. The season spans the director’s career taking in his wildly ambitious feature debut, The Czech Year (1947) that traces the passage of a single year in the Czech countryside, via two programmes of shorts, Trnka Shorts for Children and Trnka Shorts for Adults, adaptations of Shakespeare (A Midsummer Night’s Dream 1959) and Hans Christian Andersen (The Emperor’s Nightingale, 1948) and a very special Q&A with director, animator and protégée of Trinka, Vlasta Pospíšilová Anyone described by Jean Cocteau as ‘a magician who knows how to value childhood dreams’ is clearly very special indeed. The founder not merely of Czech puppet film but of Czech animation in general, Trnka is highly lauded both for the excellence of his own work and for his vast and continuing creative influence. Jan Švankmajer (Greedy Guts, Faust) worked at his studio, one of Trnka’s colleagues taught the Quay Brothers puppet animation, and his associates BĜetislav Pojar and Vlasta Pospíšilová produce stop-motion films like the Fimfárum series (2002-11) to this day. Trnka first established himself as an illustrator and stage designer before co-founding Trick Brothers in May 1945.
