This PhD dissertation explores the ways in which the broadening of possibilities for making technologies, specifically software, has been taken advantage of by new producers of digital culture – freelan- cers, aspiring digital media creators and small studios – in the production of digital visual media. It is based on two empirical case studies that concern the making of free software for computer graphics animation production in two contexts: by a loose collective of anime fans in Siberia, Russia, and by a small animation studio in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The case studies are presented and analysed in the scope of four journal articles and one book chapter which form the core of the dissertation. The dissertation draws on a media practice perspective and an under- standing of software as an artefact that concentrates and mediates specific infrastructural arrangements that entangle politics of technological produc- tion, economic interests and practice-related concerns. The analytical focus of the research problematises in particular practices of software decom- modification and its further repair and development by non-programmers; the anchoring of software development and repair in actual production practices of computer graphics animations; and a commitment to sharing software, animations and other artefacts online as commons. The thesis combines several concepts from anthropology and science and technology studies to theorise these practices: – politics and regimes of value (Appadurai, 1986); repair and artful integrations (Jackson, 2014; Suchman, 2000); gifting (Baudrillard, 1981; Mauss, 1925/2002) and autonomy (cf Bourdieu, 1993). Bringing together these concepts, the dissertation regards them as constitutive and indicative of what I refer to as ‘media-related infra- structuring practices’, or practices in which non-programmers generate infrastructures through creating and mediating arrangements around tech- nical artefacts like software. The results of the dissertation indicate how making free software for computer graphics media is entangled in diverse conditions of technological unevenness that may enable, but also limit, the possibilities of aspiring media creators to improve their status or work positions in the broader field of digital media production. By attending to these conditions and to prac- tices that attempt to alter them, we can better understand the spectrum of problems and politics related to contemporary software that underpins much of digital visual media today, and the formation of new user-driven infrastructures for media production that try to resolve them.

Acknowledgments …we are never through, but occasionally we stop to tell our colleagues what we have learnt. (Howard Becker, 1982/2008: xxi) In 2006, I embarked on a short but major personal challenge. It was about walking 600 km on the ridge of the Balkan mountains in 20 days, crossing Bulgaria, the country where I grew up. The hike, which was an exercise in both mental and physical endurance, was led by two experienced guides, who kept the group motivated during the ups and downs that accompanied each of the 8–12-hour-long hiking days. The successful end of this hike taught me that the borders of one’s endurance can always stretch a little bit more with the help of others, that persistence and small but frequent breaks are needed to cover a long distance and that comfort can be sacrificed in the name of other rewarding experiences that open up other horizons. The journey through the five years of this PhD work has been a greater challenge but also shared some similarities with that hike. The horizons that this PhD explored would have remained hidden for me without the exciting and ambitious projects of the Blender community, the Blender Institute and the anime animation community in Gorno-Altaysk. I am particularly grate- ful to Ton Roosendaal, Konstantin Dmitriev, the Blender artist and developer community and the Cosmos Laundromat team, the Morevna pro- ject participants and Synfig artists, Boud Rempt from Krita, David Revoy, the Libre Graphics community, Jason van Gumster from OpenSource.com and Sybren Stüvel for sharing their worlds and passions for computer graphics with me, for supporting and criticising my research, as well as for their hospitality. I am immensely grateful to Patrik Åker, my primary supervisor, for con- tinuous guidance, patience, endless conversations, constant encouragement and interest in this project and in my capacity to complete it even at times when I had lost faith in it. I am particularly thankful for his insistence on the value and importance of striving to have a historical perspective (some- thing that I am still working my way through), for keeping me on track and for always being there when needed. I am also deeply grateful to Göran Bolin, my second supervisor, for always making any difficult task feel easy and exciting. His deeply engaged and optimistic attitude to academic work, teaching and research have been, and remain, truly inspirational. Further, I am thankful to Kjetil Sandvik and Bo Reimer, who were opponents and commented upon my work during the mid-term and final seminars, respectively. Their questions and engaged reading further shaped this dissertation and were especially important for the final shape and form it took. All mistakes, omissions and decisions to not engage with some of the comments that I received remain, of course, my sole responsibility. I feel very fortunate to have been able to work on this dissertation at the Department of Media and Communication Studies at Södertörn University. The friendly and encouraging atmosphere there, together with the richness of perspectives, breadth of competence and willingness of many colleagues to comment on my work in progress have been stimulating and provided me with an example of how a supportive research environment should look. Stina Bengtsson and Sofia Johansson have been particularly helpful with sharing knowledge and experience on how to reconcile the two equally demanding worlds of doing a PhD and being a committed parent. Ewa Rogström has always taken excellent care of all administrative paperwork, in addition to being a friendly and attentive colleague. This work would have not been possible without the generous financial support provided by the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies, which funded my PhD education. In addition, the Swedish Institute pro- vided me with funding to complete my fieldwork in Gorno-Altaysk, Russia. The Institution for Culture and Education and the Media and Commu- nication Studies Department at Södertörn University provided me with additional financial support to attend conferences, workshops and summer schools where I presented drafts of the papers that make up part of this dissertation and where I was able to connect to a broader academic com- munity engaged in media and communications research. The publiccation committee at Södertörn University has been helpful with funding the proofreading of some of the articles. Much of the theoretical discussion that penetrates the articles emerged at various encounters with passionate and deeply engaged researchers at venues beyond Södertörn University. Some of these venues included the AOIR conferences in Daegu, Phoenix and Berlin; the Hackademia event in Lüneburg in 2016; the Dubrovnik research school on Digital Work in 2016; the ECREA Doctoral Summer School 2015; the Communication and Democracy ECREA section conference in Copenhagen in 2015 and the Brestolon research network. I cannot thank Kylie Jarrett enough for her deep engagement, support and promotion of my work at unexpected venues and moments since we met in 2014, for long formal and informal conversations and for making me believe in the value of standing for a dif- ferent perspective. Paško Bilić and Brian Beaton further opened up a breadth of perspectives in front of

  • Manifold Learning Techniques for Editing Motion Capture Data
    Manifold Learning Techniques for Editing Motion Capture Data by Christopher Joseph Dean A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Supervisory Committee Primary Supervisor: Dr. John P. Lewis Victoria University of Wellington Computer Graphics Department School of Engineering and Computer Science Secondary Supervisor: Dr. Taehyun Rhee Victoria University of Wellington Computer Graphics Department School of Engineering and Computer Science iii Abstract Streamlining the process of editing motion capture data and keyframe character animation is a fundamental problem in the animation field. This thesis explores new methods for editing character animation. In this research, we edit motion capture animations by using a data- driven pose distance as a falloff to interpolate new poses seamlessly into the sequence. This pose distance is the measure given by Green’s function of the pose space Laplacian. The falloff shape and timing extent are natu- rally suited to the skeleton’s range of motion, replacing the need for a man- ually customized falloff spline. This data-driven falloff is somewhat anal- ogous to the difference between a generic spline and the “magic wand” selection in an image editor, but applied to the animation domain. It also supports powerful non-local edit propagation, in which edits are applied to all similar poses in the entire animation sequence. In the second component of this research, we propose a novel applica- tion of non-local means denoising to motion capture data. This new adap- tation, called non-local pose means, proves to be an effective method for reducing noise without compromising physical accuracy of motion data.

    World Creation as Cultural Commentary A media studies curriculum on the themes present in science fiction and fantasy media and the connections to real-world societies and cultures Ben Kahle Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Capstone Olin College of Engineering Advisor: Maruta Vitols December 11, 2015 I set out to connect three subjects with this project: my AHS concentration in media studies, science fiction and fantasy media, and education. The intersection of these topics is the result of my project: a curriculum for a media studies course analyzing common themes and structures used in the representation of fictional worlds and their connections to modern and historical cultures and societies. The media I explored and class discussion prompts I created raise a variety of questions and will spur conversation on philosophy, ethics, religion, race, sexuality, and the foundation of them all, identity. This project has provided a unique opportunity for me to go through the experience of analyzing books, film, and television from my perspective as a student, but also from the perspective of a teacher. In forming my exploration into a cohesive curriculum, I worked to create an overarching structure that builds up new ideas and concepts in both a logical and interesting order. As the course concludes, the topics and the relationships among them should begin to crystalize and connect, ideally in a manner that reveals as many new questions as answers and leaves students excited to continue to further pursue the ideas of the course in their own media consumption. The following document includes the course syllabus and lesson plans for a half-semester course that I will co-teach with my advisor, Prof.

  • Sintel”, a Free and Open Project Available in Digital 4K
    Amsterdam, January 25, 2011 Product sheet Animation film “Sintel”, a free and open project available in digital 4k With the makers in attendance, the 3D animated short SINTEL has premiered at the Netherlands Film Festival, september 2010. For this film, producer Ton Roosendaal combined the talents of comics author Martin Lodewijk and screenwriter Esther Wouda with the young director Colin Levy (USA) and concept artist David Revoy (France). The vocal performances were created by Halina Reijn and Thom Hoffman. SINTEL is an epic short film that takes place in a fantasy world, where a girl befriends a baby dragon. After the little dragon is taken from her violently, she undertakes a long journey that leads her to a dramatic confrontation. For over a year an international team of 3D animators and artists worked in the studio of the Amsterdam Blender Institute on the computer-animated short 'Sintel'. This independent production was financed by the online user community of the free program Blender, supported by the Netherlands Film Fund, CineGrid Amsterdam, and with sponsorship from international companies. Recently the last target – a 4k digital rendering – of the film has been completed. The film project's primary target was intended as an incentive for the development of the Blender 3D open source software, a program producer Ton Roosendaal originally developed for use in his animation studio in the 90ies. The film itself, and any material made in the studio, will be released as Creative Commons shortly after the premiere. This concept, a true Open Movie, allows filmmakers and animators to study and reproduce every detail of the creation process.
