  • Star Wars: the Force Awakens Heroine Rey Debuts As Newest Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds London
    STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS HEROINE REY DEBUTS AS NEWEST WAX FIGURE AT MADAME TUSSAUDS LONDON Tuesday August 9, 2016. Hot on the heels of her Teen Choice Award for Movie Breakout Star as Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Daisy Ridley today received another much coveted accolade as her character joined a cast of heroes and villains in the epic Star Wars experience at Madame Tussauds London. Ridley’s character, Rey, is the eighteenth to be portrayed in the hugely popular attraction and stands proudly holding her staff, dressed in an exact replica of the tattered scavenger’s clothing she wears in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Her figure resides in a set depicting the trader’s tent in the lawless frontier desert world of Jakku and is featured alongside the skittish but loyal astromech droid, BB-8. Guests can step right into the recreated scene and summon up their inner rebels alongside the daring duo. "Since the Star Wars experience opened last May it has proved a massive hit with our guests," commented Edward Fuller, General Manager of Madame Tussauds London. He continued: "The intention was always to add new characters and scenes as the Star Wars story continues to evolve and we are delighted to welcome heroine, Rey, to the experience in the twelfth immersive set. The scenes we feature recreate some of the most powerful moments from the Star Wars universe and guests will recognise the trader’s tent on Jakku with its desert worn features." Rey's figure took a talented team of twenty artists four months to make.

  • The Reel Truth: Women Aren’T Seen Or Heard an Automated Analysis of Gender Representation in Popular Films
    The Reel Truth: Women Aren’t Seen or Heard An Automated Analysis of Gender Representation in Popular Films If she can see it, she can be it.™ “The GD -IQ is an extraordinary tool that gives us the power to uncover unconscious gender bias with a depth that had never been possible to date. Our hope is that we can use this technology to push the boundaries of how we identify the representation imbalance in media. Media that is more representative of our society not only fosters a more inclusive industry, but by increasing the number and diversity of female leaders and role models on screen, content creators are affecting the ambitions and career aspirations of young girls and young women everywhere. If she can see it, she can be it.” - Geena Davis The Geena Davis Inclusion Quotient (GD-IQ) is a ground breaking software tool developed by the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media at Mount Saint Mary’s University to analyze audio and video media content. Funded by Google.org and incorporating Google’s machine learning technology, and the University of Southern California’s audio-visual processing technologies, GD-IQ is the only software tool in existence with the ability to measure screen and speaking time through the use of automation. This revolutionary tool was co-developed by the Institute and led by Dr. Shrikanth (Shri) Narayanan and his team of researchers at the University of Southern California’s Signal Analysis and Interpretation Laboratory (SAIL), with additional analysis from Dr. Caroline Heldman. Previous studies find that female characters are vastly underrepresented in film, and this has not changed much in the last half a century.1 In this report, we use the GD-IQ to not only analyze gender representation but also analyze screen time and speaking time in the top 100 grossing films of 2014 and 2015.

  • Harrison 2011
    FloorPlay: Design and evaluation of a system to motivate physical activity in office workers Daniel Bryan Peter Harrison "Project report submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Human-Computer Interaction with Ergonomics) in the Faculty of Brain Sciences, University College London, 2012." NOTE BY THE UNIVERSITY This project report is submitted as an examination paper. No responsibility can be held by London University for the accuracy or completeness of the material therein. Acknowledgements This was a very ambitious MSc project, and as such there are a lot of people I’d like to thank. I’d first like to thank Jon Bird and Paul Marshall, for all of their support and assistance in producing and installing the system, and ultimately getting this report written. They offered great help throughout the project; the project wouldn’t have came together without them. I’d also like to thank all of the other academic and support staff that have taught and helped me over the past twelve months on the Masters’ degree. The Technical Support Group staff, especially Dave Twinsleton, were also a great help with installing various parts of the system, including the wiring for the interactive surface and the wireless network in the stairwell. My friend, Greg Booth, also very kindly took a long day away from home to come to UCL and help me install parts of the system. Fran Allfrey and James Owers kindly allowed me to stay at their home when it was either too late or when I was too exhausted to take the train home.

  • Steven Price
    STEVEN PRICE COMPOSER Steven Price is an Academy Award winning film composer. His unique, story-driven approach to the craft of film scoring has seen him work on some of the most innovative productions of recent years. From Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity to Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, Steven’s individualistic scores seek to enhance the ideas and images of great filmmakers in truly bespoke ways. Steven’s diverse music reflects the wide range of movie and television projects he has been involved with. Beginning his career in the late 1990s, he contributed to productions such as The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Batman Begins, before making his scoring debut in 2011 with Joe Cornish’s inner-city horror comedy, Attack the Block. Recent years have seen him compose distinctive scores for Claire McCarthy’s reimagining of Hamlet, Ophelia, David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, and the Paramount Animation Wonder Park. From his incorporation of original WW2 tanks in the percussion of the Brad Pitt starring Fury to the wind instrument driven score created for Tom Harper’s The Aeronauts, the music created for each production seeks to give each story its unique voice, the result of an experimental and collaborative process. His work in the Natural History realm, working alongside Sir David Attenborough on The Hunt, (for which Steven won a Bafta), and the Netflix Original Our Planet, (nominated for two score Emmys), will continue in 2020 with a new live arena spectacular, Our Planet Live in Concert, the premiere for which will be held at London’s O2 Arena in October 2020.
