  • Settling Down for the Long Haul: the Black Freedom Movement
    SETTLING DOWN FOR THE LONG HAUL: THE BLACK FREEDOM MOVEMENT IN SOUTHWEST GEORGIA, 1945-1995 by JAMES BOWERS WALL (Under the Direction of Cindy Hahamovitch) ABSTRACT “Settling Down for the Long Haul” examines black freedom and white resistance movements in the Black Belt of Southwest Georgia over the course of several decades. The study centers on Albany, one of the most important yet under-examined battlegrounds of the modern African American civil rights movement. By investigating the prolonged and varied campaigns for racial equality before and after the brief involvement of Martin Luther King, Jr., the project sheds new light on how grassroots movements are formed–and persist–after their supposed “climax” has passed.

  • PRODUCTION the FX Network Is Directly Involved in the Production Of
    PRODUCTION The FX Network is directly involved in the production of all their shows through either the FX Production Company or Fox 21. These are two production studios owned and operated by Fox. The level of involvement and preparation that each show requires, however, varies greatly. For example, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” was created by Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day with only a handheld video camera and a $200.00 budget (http://www.tvovermind.com/tv-news/comedy-central- grabs-its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-for-syndication/11728). These men are responsible for the creative development and they also star in the show. Despite such an inconspicuous conception, it has become wildly successful, and owns the primetime 10pm spot on FX’s Thursday night lineup. In contrast with “Sunny’s” hands-off production, it takes one month to create an episode of Archer. FX employs Floyd County Productions in Atlanta Georgia for creating concept sketches, and Trinity Animation in Kansas for translating them into three-dimensional images. Then animators and illustrators storyboard the entire episode and apply the voices of the actors, recorded in Hollywood. The actors are removed from the experience beyond recording their voice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZdJX1jDcYI). FX partners with production companies beyond those owned by FOX. To produce “It’s Always Sunny” FX collaborates with Bluebush Productions, 3 Art Entertainment, RCH, and Sunny Television Productions (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472954/). RCH and Sunny Television Productions deal solely with “It’s Always Sunny”. Bluebush Productions works exclusively with FX shows and it has helped shepherd “Damages” and “30 Days” to the air as well (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472954/).
