  • Baker Scholar Connections 2016
    BAKER SCHOLAR CONNECTIONS INTERNATIONAL TRIP I MUMBAI, INDIA 2016 A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT Dear Baker Scholars Alumni, Family, and Friends, For the last time, I write to you as President of the George F. Baker Scholars. My apologies for those of you that have already heard my reflections, but it is something I believe all with association to the Baker Program should hear. Last year at this time, when I found out I had been elected as President, I had three specific goals in mind. First, I wanted the Bakers to become a family – a group of eleven other high-achieving business students that you could come to first for answers to questions, help with personal and professional problems, celebration in success, and support in everyday life. Second, I wanted to plan an international trip that would provide unparal- leled growth opportunities and a lifetime of memories with my Baker family. Finally, our last goal was to recruit top talent for next year’s incoming class and to ensure that the culture we developed in the program this year was not simply a flash in the pan, but a stepping stone to further greatness for the Bakers. I can honestly say that our goal of becoming a Baker family was a complete success. There is no one on campus that I trust more than my fellow Bakers. Regardless of class distinction, everyone banded together with the single focus of making the program the best it could be in every experience we had. I will truly miss working side-by- side with the other Bakers; but, as Katherine Simons/Stritzke (Baker ’08) always reminds us: “Once you’re a Baker, you’re a Baker for life.” That extends to each one of you; you are all a part of the Baker family.

  • Here Are Four Things to Know About Labor Conditions in the VFX Industry
    www-old.carseywolf.ucsb.edu Carsey-Wolf Center at UC Santa Barbara By Michael Curtin 14-18 minutes Working conditions in Hollywood have been deteriorating since the 1990s, though some would say the trend began even earlier. Not only are screen media jobs leaving Southern California, but pay rates, benefits, and on-the-job satisfaction are also declining. At the 2013 Academy Awards, evidence of this trend gained wider currency when the Oscar winners for visual effects joined forces with protestors outside the hall to express their concern about Hollywood’s “race to the bottom.” At the center of the controversy was Life of Pi, a film that earned widespread critical acclaim and more than $600 million at the global box office. Like most successful blockbusters, the film relies heavily on computer-generated imagery. In fact, VFX now comprise one third of production spending on major studio releases and are considered as central to the filmmaking process as cinematography, editing, or costume design. Yet despite the rising status of visual effects industry, it has been in turmoil for over a decade. The situation was made palpable only ten days before the Oscars when the award-winning company, Rhythm & Hues, announced that it was laying off 254 employees—almost a third of its workforce—and filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The news sent shockwaves through the effects community, since it was seen as a telling indicator of the precarious conditions under which companies and their employees currently operate. Moreover, it seemed indicative of broader trends, pointing to the role that globalization is playing in the screen media industries.

  • Animating Community: Reflexivity and Identity in Indian Animation Production Culture
    Animating Community: Reflexivity and Identity in Indian Animation Production Culture Timothy Graham Jones Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies Submitted September, 2014 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract: Timothy Jones, University of East Anglia, 2014 Supervisors: Rayna Denison and Keith Johnston Animating Community examines the cultural practices of animators in India, and particularly the role of practitioner testimony in conceiving and negotiating social structures underpinning the nascent Indian animation industry. Recognizing a tendency in practitioner accounts towards theorization of contested industrial discourses, this research takes as its object the reflexive practice of animators in trade texts and interviews. These reveal how local practitioners understand production culture as an emergent phenomenon, resulting from learned processes of negotiation and collective action. However, practitioner testimony also reflects dramatically different degrees of agency in cultural production and discourse. Focusing on the identity work of diverse creative professionals – corporate elites, freelancers, teachers, and students – reveals underlying tensions between global industrial constraints and local social capital. Based on discursive analysis of testimony, this thesis asks how Indian animation practitioners conceive of their creative activity and identity in relation to negotiating a culture of animation production, and how the shared discourses and modes of engagement that result both shape and are shaped by institutional structures.
