Melrose, MA 02176-3933 APPLICATION INFORMATION Title: Cartooning America: The Fleischer Brothers Story Grant period: From 2018-09-03 to 2019-04-19 Project field(s): U.S. History; Film History and Criticism; Media Studies Description of project: Cartooning America: The Fleischer Brothers Story is a 60-minute film about a family of artists and inventors who revolutionized animation and created some of the funniest and most irreverent cartoon characters of all time. They began working in the early 1900s, at the same time as Walt Disney, but while Disney went on to become a household name, the Fleischers are barely remembered. Our film will change this, introducing a wide national audience to a family of brothers – Max, Dave, Lou, Joe, and Charlie – who created Fleischer Studios and a roster of animated characters who reflected the rough and tumble sensibilities of their own Jewish immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. “The Fleischer story involves the glory of American Jazz culture, union brawls on Broadway, gangsters, sex, and southern segregation,” says advisor Tom Sito. Advisor Jerry Beck adds, “It is a story of rags to riches – and then back to rags – leaving a legacy of iconic cinema and evergreen entertainment.” BUDGET Outright Request 600,000.00 Cost Sharing 90,000.00 Matching Request 0.00 Total Budget 690,000.00 Total NEH 600,000.00 GRANT ADMINISTRATOR Ms.

    SOMA3410 Performative Animation and the Virtual Body SOMA3410 Performative Animation and the Virtual Body Term T2, 2020 Course Information Units of Credit: 6 Course Overview Course Description Fully Online Delivery Term 2 2020 Some adjustments have been made to this course to allow for fully online delivery during the COVID-19 situation. Please refer to the Resources section at the back of this document for more information about materials and resources required to complete this course outline. *** Performative Animation and the Virtual Body will help you to bring your animated characters to life. In this course you will learn how identity is communicated through the animated body and how animators engage with performance as an animation process. Assessment involves the creation and evaluation of a character performance that aims to show 'embodied agency' through animated movement; including body, voice, and facial expressions. You will explore how animated agency is generated by analysing a combination of performance and acting skills, which can then be applied in your creative work using advanced 3D CGI character animation techniques. In particular, you will focus on developing emotive strategies for your character, based on physiological and psychological devices, included in physical performance processes. You will investigate nuances of physical expression through observation of performances in character animation, undertaking experimental body animation, and participating in live-performances that integrate digital technologies. Course Learning Outcomes On completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Analyse the staging and posing of an animated character to convey emotion through body language based on physical performance 2.
