Tamás Zákonyi Cinematography by : Buda Gulyás Production Desing by : János Szabolcs Costume Desing by : Beatrix Aruna Pásztor Original Music by : Nick Glennie-Smith Producer: Andrew G. Vajna Directed by : Krisztina Goda Website: www.szabadsagszerelemafilm.hu SYNOPSIS The year is 1956. While Hungary is only a small slave nation within the massive Soviet Block, it is also a superpower – its national water polo team is invincible. Even locked behind the Iron Curtain, the players feel like kings. Thriving on success and enjoying the attention of every girl in the country, they stand self-assured and unified. The team has lost only once in 1955, when a referee in Moscow simply did not let them win. The team are now bracing themselves for a rematch due to take place at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne. History, however, throws a major obstacle in team’s path, and a revolution breaks out in Budapest and the young star of the team, Karcsi (Iván Feny ı) and his friend, Tibi (Sándor Csányi) get embroiled in the events occurring out on the streets. At first, they are only out for adventure, but a fiery student - Viki Falk (Kata Dobó) - from the Technical University catches Karcsi’s eye and in following her steps he finds himself right at the heart of the uprising - the Kossuth square and the subsequent siege of the National Radio station.

  • Using Global Objectives to Control Behaviors in Crowds
    USING GLOBAL OBJECTIVES TO CONTROL BEHAVIORS IN CROWDS A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Domin Lee, B.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Master’s Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Rick Parent, Adviser Dr. Matthew Lewis Adviser Graduate Program in Computer Science and Engineering c Copyright by Domin Lee 2008 ABSTRACT The agent-based and behavioral modeling techniques are effective in many situa- tions; however, with an increase in demand for more complex and realistic behaviors, the problems of scale can quickly become an issue. By adding another set of rules that incorporate the desired behaviors, the rule-based methods can become difficult to manage. This thesis attempts to develop an organizational tool that avoids rule pro- liferation and problems with scale in rule-based systems. Using global objectives to weigh local rules, we look to model a system where behavioral decisions are made, not just at the individual levels, but also at the global levels in the crowds. Consequently, this thesis presents a solution for one requirement of team-oriented crowd behaviors in animation and games: the ability to adaptively generate human-like altruistic be- haviors. The team-oriented crowds refers to a type of crowds where each individual has a membership to a team. And those individuals interact directly and simultane- ously to achieve a global objective. Some of the team-oriented crowds include team sports: football, handball, hockey, basketball, and baseball. ”Altruistic behaviors” are the behaviors where behavioral decisions are made for the global objectives of the crowds.

CITY STREET - DAY Downtown L.A. Noon on a hot summer day. On an EXTREME LONG LENS the lunchtime crowd stacks up into a wall of humanity. In SLOW MOTION they move in herds among the glittering rows of cars jammed bumper to bumper. Heat ripples distort the torrent of faces. The image is surreal, dreamy... and like a dream it begins very slowly to DISSOLVE TO: 2 EXT. CITY RUINS - NIGHT Same spot as the last shot, but now it is a landscape in Hell. The cars are stopped in rusted rows, still bumper to bumper. The skyline of buildings beyond has been shattered by some unimaginable force like a row of kicked-down sandcastles. Wind blows through the desolation, keening with the sound of ten million dead souls. It scurries the ashes into drifts, stark white in the moonlight against the charred rubble. A TITLE CARD FADES IN: LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2029 3 ANGLE ON a heap of fire-blackened human bones. Beyond the mound is a vast tundra of skulls and shattered concrete. The rush hour crowd burned down in their tracks. 4 WE DISSOLVE TO a playground... where intense heat has half-melted the jungle gym, the blast has warped the swing set, the merry-go-round has sagged in the firestorm. Small skulls look accusingly from the ash-drifts. WE HEAR the distant echo of children's voices... playing and laughing in the sun. A silly, sing-songy rhyme as WE TRACKS SLOWLY over seared asphalt where the faint hieroglyphs of hopscotch lines are still visible.
