  • A Process of Seamlessly Replacing Cg Elements Into Live-Action Footage
    1st Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference, AIIC 2013, 24-26 April, Azores, Portugal - Proceedings- A PROCESS OF SEAMLESSLY REPLACING CG ELEMENTS INTO LIVE-ACTION FOOTAGE Jin Zhi Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, United Kingdom Abstract: This research focused on inserting a computer-generated element into live-action footage and replacing unwanted existing objects in the footage. In addition, creating a realistic and seamless visual representation in the field of digital compositing. The purpose of this paper is to cover a detailed working process of digital compositing in order to clarify the production process and provide a clear idea for those entry-level artists to improve an overall understanding of the digital compositing and visual effects and hopefully inspire further collaboration and participants particularly between academia and industry. Key Words: Digital compositing, CG elements, Realistic, Visual effects Introduction Along with the increase of digital compositing in feature films, the role of digital compositors has become of unprecedented importance. Compositors thus sit at the core of most image manipulation pipelines. In order to meet the needs of the visual effects industry, universities, art and film schools have established relevant professional courses in recent years. Nevertheless, current educational concepts still need to promote a sound scientific understanding in order to steer entry- level visual effects artists in the right direction. This study has addressed several main factors from the perspective of theory and practice. As a general discussion, the research briefly outlines the historical perspectives of digital compositing, and continues to investigate the current situation of the digital compositing and visual effects industry.

  • New Mode of Cinema V1n1
    New Mode of Cinema: How Digital Technologies are Changing Aesthetics and Style Kristen M. Daly, Columbia University, New York Abstract This article delves intrinsically into how the characteristics of digital cinema, its equipment, software and processes, differ from film and therefore afford new aesthetic and stylistic modes, changing the nature of mise-en-scène and the language of cinema as it has been defined in the past. Innovative filmmakers are exploring new aesthetic and stylistic possibilities as the encumbrances of film, which delimited a certain mode of cinema, are released. The article makes the case that the camera as part of a computer system has enabled a more cooperative relationship with the filmmaker going beyond Alexandre Astruc’s prediction of the camera-pen (camére-stylo) to become a camera-computer. The technology of digital cinema makes the natural indexicality of film and the cut simply options amongst others and permits new forms of visual aesthetics not premised on filmic norms, but based on other familiar audiovisual forms like video games and computer interface. Voir le résumé français à la fin de l’article ***** “We see in them, if you like, something of the prophetic. That’s why I am talking about avant-garde. There is always an avant-garde when something new takes place . .” (Astruc, 1948, 17) In this article, I will examine some of the material qualities and characteristics of the equipment, software and processes of digital cinema production and propose how these afford a new aesthetics and style for cinema. Of course, many styles are available, including the status quo.

  • Women Creating Machinima Jenifer Vandagriff Georgia Institute Of
    Women creating Machinima Jenifer Vandagriff Georgia Institute of Technology [email protected] Michael Nitsche Georgia Institute of Technology [email protected] Abstract We interviewed 13 female machinima artists to investigate the appeal of machinima for women. Are there any specific qualities of this game-based production that speak to those women? The research looked at engine use, personal situation of artists and motivation, production processes, and dominant themes in female produced machinima. Our findings indicate that machinima as a form of emergent play opens up promising possibilities for women to engage in game and animation production. Traditional social roles of women are present and remain relevant for machinima production but the accessibility of the tools provides a playground for these filmmakers to explore new genres and technologies and it supports the interest in meaningful engagement and artistic expression stated by participants in the study. We conclude that machinima can serve as a useful tool to explore and improve women’s position in digital media development. Keywords women, machinima, storytelling, media production 1 Women in Machinima Introduction Women comprise only a small fraction of the technical, design, and concept stages of game development. Women constitute approximately 8% for the areas of art, design, and audio. They make up less than 3% in programming (Duffy 2008). Not only are fewer women making decisions about game design, but they also earn substantially less (nearly $10,000) then male colleagues (Duff 2008). While women remain heavily underrepresented in key areas of the game industry workforce, the percentage of female gamers has grown significantly.
