Because TpERSEVERANCE and patience are sup- posed to be among the prime requisites for success in almost any worth-while undertaking. For example, the endeavor to show you exhibitors the value of adver- tising your Short Features, for the good of your own box-offices. Every one of you seemed to have come from Missouri! At least you had to be shown—by the efforts of some other ex- hibitor. Well, all of you who are willing to be shown must see now. Certainly there are enough examples on all sides of better exploitation of the Short Features—that has brought in the extra dollars at the ticket window. Now here's the latest case of waking to the box-office value of Short Features. It's a case that even the worst Doubting Thomas can't muff. Educational Pictures have just been signed up 100 per cent for the great Pacific North- ' it Pays! west Theatres circuit. And Harry C. Arthur, Jr., president and general man- ager, writes: ' T have notified our managers of the acquisition of Educational output for the coming season, and instructed them to advertise these subjects as much as possible in their programs and other mediums.'' The manager of every one of the big Pacific Northwest houses under definite instruc- tions to advertise his Educational Pictures as much as possible! Why? Because these great showmen, who have long been in the habit of advertising the whole show, know through experience that it pays to exploit quality Short Features.

It is applied to the star, the producer, the director, the writer and the other human ingredients that combine in the production of a motion picture. • And for all alike there is a common denominator—the boxoffice. • It has often been stated that each per- sonality is as good as his or her last picture. But it is unfair to make an evaluation on such a basis. The average for a season, based on intakes at the boxoffices throughout the land, is the more reliable measuring stick. • To render a service heretofore lacking, the publishers of BOXOFFICE have surveyed the field of the motion picture theatre and herein present BOXOFFICE RECORDS that tell their own important story.

    2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday

    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

    Aaronovitch, Ben Rivers of London My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just another probationary constable in the Metropolitan Police Service. My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit and finding a way to climb into the panties of WPC Leslie May. Then one night, I tried to take a statement from a man who was already dead. Ackroyd, Peter The death of King Arthur An immortal story of love, adventure, chivalry, treachery and death brought to new life for our times. The legend of King Arthur has retained its appeal and popularity through the ages - Mordred's treason, the knightly exploits of Tristan, Lancelot's fatally divided loyalties and his love for Guenever, the quest for the Holy Grail. Adams, Jane Fragile lives The battered body of Patrick Duggan is washed up on a beach a short distance from Frantham. To complicate matters, Edward Parker, who worked for Duggan's father, disappeared at the same time. Coincidence? Mac, a police officer, and Rina, an interested outsider, don't think so.

D OMESTIC box office standings take on values in this year of vanished foreign markets that are tremendous in importance. They are the only ratings that mean anything to the producer, director, player, and exhibitor. Gone—at least for years to come—are the days when known box office failures in the American market could be pushed to fabulous income heights and foisted on the suffering American exhibitor because of a shadowy "for¬ eign value.” Gone are the days—and we hope forever—when producers could know¬ ingly, and with "malice aforethought,” set out on the production of top budgetted pictures that would admittedly have no appeal to American mass audiences, earn no dimes for American exhibitors. All because of that same shadowy foreign market. ^ ^ So THE DIGEST ANNUAL comes to you at an opportune time.

Sahra Kunz September 2014 The Use of Motion Capture in Non-realistic Animation Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor Sahra Kunz for all the help and dedication throughout this year. I would like to thank the project mentors Sahra Kunz and Ricardo Megre for their support and incentive in the production of Napoleon’s Unsung Battle. I would like to thank my course colleagues for the insightful criticism during this process. I would specially like to thank João Moura for finding time to help me despite working on his pro- ject. Finally I would like to thank my family for the support given throughout my academic journey. i The Use of Motion Capture in Non-realistic Animation Abstract The Use of Motion Capture in Non-realistic Animation explores the possibility of creating non- realistic animation through the use of motion capture. In this study we look to the particularities of cartoony/non-realistic animation while trying to as- certain if it is viable to create this type of animation through the process of motion capture. This dissertation will, firstly, expose the historical, theoretical, technical and artistic context. There will be a brief description of important landmarks and general overview of the history of animation. There will also be an explanation of how animators’ will to mimic real life motion, led to the invention of several technologies in order to achieve this goal.
