The article examines the various laws, includ- ing copyright, sui generis, right of publicity and trademark, that may be employed to prevent the creation, duplication and exploitation of digital replicas of individuals as well as to prevent unauthorized alteration of ex- isting images of a person. With respect to totally imaginary digital hu- mans, the article addresses the issue of whether such virtual humans should be treated like real humans or simply as highly sophisticated forms of animated cartoon characters.

  • 1 Ken Clarke
    KEN CLARKE - MY PROFESSIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY When I left junior school at the age of twelve my plastering career started at the well known building Arts & Craft Secondary School, ‘Christopher Wren’, and from this early age I was particularly interested in fibrous plastering. It was a known fact that, of a class of 16, two of the pupils, after four years of schooling, would start their training at a major film studio. I passed my GCE in Building Craft, Paintwork and Plasterwork (copy 1 attached) and was one of the lucky two to be chosen to start training at Shepperton Studios. This was my first achievement (copy 2 – letter of engagement, 9 June 1964, attached). I started Shepperton Studios in the plastering Dept on 22 June 1964 under conditions of a six-month probationary period and a further 4 and half years. During this five-year apprenticeship, I was to do through the block release system, eight weeks at work and two weeks at Art & Craft College ‘Lime Grove’. At the end of five years I was awarded my basic and final City and Guilds in plastering (basic June 1966 and final June 1968 – copies 3 and 4 attached). This was a big achievement for any young man – for me; it was the beginning of a big career. After my five years I was presented with one of the very last certificates of apprenticeship offered by the ‘Film Industry Training Apprenticeship Council’. Thus, my apprenticeship came to an end. (Letter of thanks and delivery of my deeds and certificate 1 June 1969.

  • Laurence Olivier in Hamlet (1949)
    1 Laurence Olivier in Hamlet (1949) In the late 1930s and early 1940s, when Samuel Goldwyn, MGM, and David Selznick were wooing him, Laurence Olivier chose not to become a movie star “like dear Cary.” After playing Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights (1939), Darcy in Pride and Prejudice (1940), and Maxim Dewinter in Rebecca (1940), he appeared in Hollywood pictures sparingly and tried to avoid a fixed persona. He nevertheless became the symbol of what midcentury America thought of as a distinguished actor, and was the most successful English theatrical type in the movies. He wasn’t romantically flamboyant (Orson Welles was closer to that), he wasn’t a naturalist like the students of the Method, he wasn’t a Brechtian, and he wasn’t the sort of movie actor who plays variations on a single character. He belonged instead to a school of disciplined, tastefully romantic verisimilitude, and within that school was a master. He was also the best-known Shakespearian in films. Olivier often said that his favorite movie role was the working-class comedian Archie Rice in The Entertainer (1960), but his performances in the Shakespeare films that he directed are more representative of his skills and more significant in film history. Based on canonical texts with a long performance history, they foreground his stylistic choices 2 and make his influences relatively easy to identify. His version of Hamlet (1949), for example, seems to derive pretty equally from the English romantics, Sigmund Freud, and William Wyler. These sources are not so eclectic as they might appear. Romantic-realist ideas of narrative shaped nearly all feature films of the period; Wyler had been the director of Wuthering Heights and at one point was scheduled to direct Olivier’s production of Henry V; and Olivier’s conceptions of character and performance are similar to the ones that shaped Hollywood in the 1940s, when Freud was in vogue.

  • Derek Johnston "... and the BBC Created Hammer"
    Derek Johnston "... And the BBC Created Hammer": Examining the Interdependence of Public Service Broadcaster and Exploitation Film-maker Paper Given at the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ Study Day, University of East Anglia, 17 February 2010 The connection between the BBC and the Hammer film company is not often commented on beyond the passing association with each of the films which Hammer adapted individually from BBC properties. Yet the number of such properties as a whole and the importance of their position within the development of Hammer as a company has received less attention. This paper will investigate the way that Hammer's films based on BBC radio properties helped the company to establish itself as a successful British exploitation film-maker, while the adaptations of the Quatermass television serials led to the establishment of the Hammer identity as a British horror film producer. The paper will also examine the BBC attitude towards Hammer, as revealed through files at the BBC Written Archives Centre, which expose some of the tensions of the differing corporate identities. However, I will argue that it was these very tensions which were at the heart of the success of these properties in both media, and that the differing approaches to the material taken by the BBC and Hammer are suggestive of differing aspects of British post-War cultural identity. The monopoly BBC Television Service has acquired something of an image of being a high-minded, socially-concerned body, governed by Reith's principle that the BBC should 'inform, educate and entertain', presumably in that order.

  • 5. Tales of the Unexpected – Programme Notes
    TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED UK/1979-1988/25mins/12 An aristocratic lady trapping her head in an expensive slab of Henry Moore-like sculpture. A stray cat that may be the reincarnation of Franz Liszt. A beggar who carries a prized piece of tattooed art etched into his back. A vengeful wife taking gleeful control of her domineering husband's living brain. Anglia Television was the home of hit prime time game show 'Sale of the Century' and teatime budget casino 'Gambit', but for nine years from 1979 the unassuming regional ITV franchise went weird and wonderful. Suddenly, things got a whole lot more bizarre than Nicholas Parsons... The aforementioned oddness and more was sprung from the fervid imagination of author Roald Dahl. ITV's local regions were not averse to telefantasy, after 1976's 'Beasts' and Brian Clemens' Saturday night shocker 'Thriller' on ATV, Thames brought us 'Shadows of Fear' for adults and 'Shadows' for juvenile viewers; and HTV terrified nippers and parents alike with the Avebury-focused six-parter 'Children of the Stones'. So the commercial broadcaster was well-versed in small screen nightmares by the time the decision was taken to film 'Tales of the Unexpected' in and around Norwich. "I ought to warn you, if you haven't read any of my stories, that you may be a little disturbed by some of the things that happen in them". With these words - delivered with enormous gravity by a gaunt figure, with thinning hair, a sly sense of black humour, and plenty of surprises up his sleeves - Roald Dahl introduced himself to millions of new fans and increased his reputation as a master of the macabre several times over.
