  • Black Canary and Zatanna: Bloodspell Free
    FREE BLACK CANARY AND ZATANNA: BLOODSPELL PDF Joe Quinones,Paul Dini | 152 pages | 03 Jun 2014 | DC Comics | 9781401210540 | English | United States Black Canary and Zatanna: Bloodspell by Paul Dini Looks like I have to break down and buy this. I am a fan of the creators and characters. Was thinking of waiting out for soft cover. But looks too good to wait. Great review. I think you'd really enjoy it. I have no idea when the softcover will be out probably six months to a year from now. Finally finished reading thru this, and am prepared to go thru it all over again, so good that it was. A treat from start to finish. You know who Dinah and Zatanna reminded me off here? Katina Choovanski and her beloved from Strangers in Paradise - in fact, Dinah had such a Katchoo invested in her the paralles were incredible. The switching Black Canary and Zatanna: Bloodspell between bodies was cool, very funny and exciting in equal parts, and you mentioned the other male heroes such as Supes, GL etc appearing in minor roles; I like that. Esp seeing a confused Supes looing after Dottie. The only thing that didn't ring true was when Dinah broke those metal bonds that held Joy - does she have super-strength or something?!? I agree this Tina wasn't the great super-villain we could have expected - any number of Silver Age baddies could have sufficed, maybe even one of Wonder Woman's female villiains. I really enjoyed this book, from the road trip with the floating hands driving, to the Dinah in disguise spell that was both cute and sexy and amusing.

  • Wetenschappelijke Verhandeling
    UNIVERSITEIT GENT FACULTEIT POLITIEKE EN SOCIALE WETENSCHAPPEN MACHINIMA: SITUERING EN ONDERZOEK NAAR HET EDUCATIEF POTENTIEEL Wetenschappelijke verhandeling aantal woorden: 24909 BERT BESSEMS MASTERPROEF COMMUNICATIEWETENSCHAPPEN afstudeerrichting COMMUNICATIEMANAGEMENT PROMOTOR: DR. JAN VAN LOOY COMMISSARIS: FREDERIK DHAENENS COMMISSARIS: PETER MECHANT ACADEMIEJAAR 2009 - 2010 Abstract Machinima is een nieuwemediatechniek die gebruik maakt van videogames om films te produceren. Deze methode wordt gekenmerkt doordat ze snel en goedkoop is. Dit terwijl zij visueel minder sterk is dan klassieke film en animatie. Deze masterproef begint met een situering van het begrip aan de hand van een literatuurstudie. Achtereenvolgens beschrijf ik de historiek, de thema‟s en de toekomst van machinima. Daarnaast komen een aantal deelaspecten aan bod. Het zwaartepunt van het eerste deel is de bespreking van een SWOT-analyse. Het tweede deel omvat een literatuurstudie omtrent leertheorieën. Er worden een aantal theorieën geschetst die principes bevatten waar onderwijs in machinima baat bij kan hebben. Tevens wordt machinima hier geëvalueerd in twee categorieën: enerzijds als aan te leren set vaardigheden in hoofdzakelijk interdisciplinaire studierichtingen en als ondersteunend audiovisueel medium in traditioneel onderwijs. In deel drie komt de praktijk aan bod. Door middel van diepte-interviews en inhoudsanalyse schets ik twee cases: de cursus machinima aan de universiteit van Utah en een aantal workshops in drie verschillende fasen van ontwikkeling. Dit alles met het oog op het onderzoeken of machinima de nodige opportuniteiten biedt op het vlak van onderwijs. Er kan worden gesteld dat machinima educatief potentieel bezit. Dit getuigt het stelselmatig opnemen van machinima in interdisciplinaire curricula met de focus op computerwetenschappen en een combinatie tussen kunstrichtingen (animatie en film) en mediastudies.

  • New Screen Order: How Video Games Are Changing Cinema Interiority
    www.thecine-files.com FEATURED SCHOLARSHIP New Screen Order: How Video Games Are Changing Cinema Interiority David Sedman and Randy Clark “Final Fantasy is nothing more than an extravagant video game in which characters fix things, fly things, gather things and shoot things . .(A)fter a while, you want to play it, not just watch it.” -- Robert Wilonsky, film critic1 When Tron was released in 1982, it was quickly recognized as the first significant interface between a motion picture and a video game. In Tron, the main character, Kevin Flynn, is transported from a realistic setting to a video game setting. Once Flynn becomes a part of the video game interface, the audience’s frame of reference becomes the gamespace. While most critics focused on the visual aspects of Tron—Variety for example, calls it “loaded with visual delights but fall(ing) way short of the mark in story and viewer involvement”—the direct translation of the video game characteristics to the movie theater screen would prove to be the more significant trend in the defining of space in American popular film.2 The spatial relationships of the characters in Tron, the camera’s point of view, and the actor’s relationship to the environment are key elements that define the film’s interiority. In the 28 years between the original Tron and its sequel, Tron: Legacy, a very profound transformation came to the movie industry as films created with character- generated imagery (CGI) and having game-like sequences became commonplace.This article discusses how the influences of gaming have transformed character motivations and production processes within cinema.

Erik Schneider Abstract This thesis is going to introduce machinima and its history and tech- niques. Due to the possibilities of real time 3D, I will propose to use the inter- active potential of machinima. Furthermore, the concepts of the terms story and game, as well as their differences, will be discussed. This will be concluded with the suggestion of a new way of combining stories with game-elements, in order to make use of the diversity in the field of combining stories and games. Based on this theoretical point of view, I will present three ideas for the use of the interactive potential of machinima: an interactive installation, digital theatre and live cinema. I will exemplarily develop the idea of an interactive installation to a more concrete description, a concept. This concept will use my idea of combining a story with game-like elements.

While the game structure of binary combat is most often seen in terms of simple entertainment, lacking narrative power and encouraging an apa- thetic and passive attitude to violence, the author argues that games such as Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Soul Calibur are complex in terms of their construction of stereotyped identity and in the binary structure of combative play.
