    City University of New York (CUNY) CUNY Academic Works Publications and Research Queens College 2017 Digital Surrealism: Visualizing Walt Disney Animation Studios Kevin L. Ferguson CUNY Queens College How does access to this work benefit ou?y Let us know! More information about this work at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu/qc_pubs/205 Discover additional works at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu This work is made publicly available by the City University of New York (CUNY). Contact: [email protected] 1 Digital Surrealism: Visualizing Walt Disney Animation Studios Abstract There are a number of fruitful digital humanities approaches to cinema and media studies, but most of them only pursue traditional forms of scholarship by extracting a single variable from the audiovisual text that is already legible to scholars. Instead, cinema and media studies should pursue a mostly-ignored “digital-surrealism” that uses computer-based methods to transform film texts in radical ways not previously possible. This article describes one such method using the z-projection function of the scientific image analysis software ImageJ to sum film frames in order to create new composite images. Working with the fifty-four feature-length films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, I describe how this method allows for a unique understanding of a film corpus not otherwise available to cinema and media studies scholars. “Technique is the very being of all creation” — Roland Barthes “We dig up diamonds by the score, a thousand rubies, sometimes more, but we don't know what we dig them for” — The Seven Dwarfs There are quite a number of fruitful digital humanities approaches to cinema and media studies, which vary widely from aesthetic techniques of visualizing color and form in shots to data-driven metrics approaches analyzing editing patterns.

    Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Alexander Lindgren, 36761 Pro gradu-avhandling i engelska språket och litteraturen Handledare: Jason Finch Fakulteten för humaniora, psykologi och teologi Åbo Akademi 2020 ÅBO AKADEMI – FACULTY OF ARTS, PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY Abstract for Master’s Thesis Subject: English Language and Literature Author: Alexander Lindgren Title: Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Supervisor: Jason Finch Abstract: Walt Disney Animation Studios is currently one of the world’s largest producers of animated content aimed at children. However, while Disney often has been associated with themes such as childhood, magic, and innocence, many of the company’s animated films have simultaneously been criticized for their offensive and quite problematic take on race and ethnicity, as well their heavy reliance on cultural stereotypes. This study aims to evaluate Disney’s portrayals of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as determine whether or not the nature of the company’s portrayals have become more culturally sensitive with time. To accomplish this, seven animated feature films produced by Disney were analyzed. These analyses are of a qualitative nature, with a focus on imagology and postcolonial literary theory, and the results have simultaneously been compared to corresponding criticism and analyses by other authors and scholars. Based on the overall results of the analyses, it does seem as if Disney is becoming more progressive and culturally sensitive with time. However, while most of the recent films are free from the clearly racist elements found in the company’s earlier productions, it is quite evident that Disney still tends to rely heavily on certain cultural stereotypes.

    PRESS RELEASE Oct. 15, 2012, 1:55 p.m. EDT Famed Soprano Renee Fleming Performs Original Single 'Still Dream' With Music By Alexandre Desplat And Lyrics By David Lindsay-Abaire For DreamWorks Animation's "Rise of the Guardians" New Single Headlines Soundtrack Album Featuring Score by Four-Time Academy Award® Nominated Composer Alexandre Desplat GLENDALE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ‐‐ DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. DWA ‐0.05% today announced that acclaimed soprano Renee Fleming has performed the original song "Still Dream" on the soundtrack for the upcoming Rise of the Guardians, which also features a score by Four‐Time Academy Award® nominated and Grammy® Award winning composer Alexandre Desplat. Varese Sarabande will release the soundtrack on November 13, preceding the film's nationwide release on November 21. The original, end‐credit song "Still Dream" was written and produced by Desplat, with lyrics by Rise of the Guardians screenwriter, Grammy® Award nominee and Pulitzer Prize winning author, David Lindsay‐Abaire. The complete score, recorded at the historic Abbey Road in London and Air Studios, was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and features choral work by London Voices. To create the music and lyrics for the original song, Desplat and Lindsay‐Abaire drew upon the film's heroic and sweeping story as inspiration. "There is much more music in Rise of the Guardians than is found in the average live‐action film," says Desplat, who conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in the recording of his original compositions. "The goal with the score was to emphasize every moment of joy, sadness and soul so that audiences would be able to dive with the characters into their worlds.

  • THE ANIMATED TRAMP Charlie Chaplin's Influence on American
    THE ANIMATED TRAMP Charlie Chaplin’s Influence on American Animation By Nancy Beiman SLIDE 1: Joe Grant trading card of Chaplin and Mickey Mouse Charles Chaplin became an international star concurrently with the birth and development of the animated cartoon. His influence on the animation medium was immense and continues to this day. I will discuss how American character animators, past and present, have been inspired by Chaplin’s work. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (SLIDE 2) Jeffrey Vance described Chaplin as “the pioneer subject of today’s modern multimedia marketing and merchandising tactics”, 1 “(SLIDE 3). Charlie Chaplin” comic strips began in 1915 and it was a short step from comic strips to animation. (SLIDE 4) One of two animated Chaplin series was produced by Otto Messmer and Pat Sullivan Studios in 1918-19. 2 Immediately after completing the Chaplin cartoons, (SLIDE 5) Otto Messmer created Felix the Cat who was, by 1925, the most popular animated character in America. Messmer, by his own admission, based Felix’s timing and distinctive pantomime acting on Chaplin’s. 3 But no other animators of the time followed Messmer’s lead. (SLIDE 6) Animator Shamus Culhane wrote that “Right through the transition from silent films to sound cartoons none of the producers of animation paid the slightest attention to… improvements in the quality of live action comedy. Trapped by the belief that animated cartoons should be a kind of moving comic strip, all the producers, (including Walt Disney) continued to turn out films that consisted of a loose story line that supported a group of slapstick gags which were often only vaguely related to the plot….The most astonishing thing is that Walt Disney took so long to decide to break the narrow confines of slapstick, because for several decades Chaplin, Lloyd and Keaton had demonstrated the superiority of good pantomime.” 4 1 Jeffrey Vance, CHAPLIN: GENIUS OF THE CINEMA, p.

  • La Digitalización De La Media: La Evolución Del CGI Hacia La Renderización No-Fotorrealista En Spider-Man: Un Nuevo Universo.”
    UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE VALENCIA ESCUELA POLITE CNICA SUPERIOR DE GANDIA Máster en Postproducción Digital “La digitalización de la media: La evolución del CGI hacia la renderización no-fotorrealista en Spider-Man: Un nuevo universo.” TRABAJO FINAL DE MASTER Autor/a: Paz Gómez de la Muñoza Tutor/a: Javier Pastor Castillo GANDIA, 2020 Resumen La aparición de las imágenes generadas por ordenador ha supuesto un antes y un después a la hora de consumir y realizar contenido audiovisual. En este proyecto se exploran cuáles fueron los antecesores a los PC, sus usos, cómo han evolucionado y qué clase de manifestaciones artísticas se han realizado a lo largo de su historia, hasta el punto de alcanzar unos resultados casi perfectos al conseguir generar tanto imágenes realistas como imágenes más artísticas, centrándonos en concreto en cómo nos confunde a la hora de observar algo que aparenta haber sido realizado en dos dimensiones —lo que conoceremos como renderizado no fotorrealista—. Para ello, hablaremos en profundidad sobre la película ganadora del Óscar a la mejor película de animación en 2019, Spider-Man: Un nuevo universo (Peter Ramsay, Bob Persichetti y Rodney Rothman, 2018), donde exploraremos sus recursos técnicos, artísticos y sus influencias. Para finalizar el proyecto, se encuentra la memoria de la parte práctica, realizada con los conocimientos obtenidos en la investigación, una pequeña pieza a modo de demostración sobre cuáles son los resultados que se pueden alcanzar mediante el uso de software accesible para el usuario medio. Palabras clave: 2D, 3D, Animación, Analógico, Anime, Arte, Arte urbano, Cine, Cómic, Concept-art, Digital, Estilización, Motion-graphics, Motion-capture, No-fotorrealista, Pop-Art, Realismo, Renderizado.
