Next up is EditFest London, which takes place June 30 at BFI Southbank. The day will feature several editor panels including such talent as Una Ni Dhonghaile; Andrew J. McClelland; Eddie Hamilton, ACE; John Venzon, ACE; and Martin Walsh, ACE; as well as a featured conversation with Chris Lebenzon, ACE. Another ACE initiative that has truly transcended international borders is the Petition for Editors’ Recognition in cooperation with the Motion Picture Editors Guild, which aims to give editors their creative due at film festivals all around the world by pushing for editing award categories. Establishing contacts around the globe to persuade all kinds of international film festivals to honor editors has familiarized us with lesser-known communities and organizations of editors that helped in the effort. It turns out that there’s a vibrant array of formal and informal groups of editors that gather to advocate all the professional and creative aspects of our jobs. This led to the genesis of an idea to find ways to connect all these organizations, clubs and communities. As the preeminent honorary society of editors, ACE seems to be the perfect organization to take a leading role in bringing all the creative challenges, struggles and concerns of other editors together. On the recommendation of the International Relations Commi- ttee of the ACE Board of Directors, last year CinemaEditor inaugurated the Global Editing Perspectives column, each time featuring another country’s editors organization; in this issue we highlight South Africa. The ACE Board of Directors has been diligently working with the International Relations Committee to find ways to strengthen our bond with editors around the world because we realize that motion pictures are not bound by borders and so neither should we be. –Edgar Burcksen, ACE 04 CINEMAEDITOR QTR 2 / 2018 / VOL 68 Photo by Peter Zakhary.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Rhodes 00:00:09 Oliver Host Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock, AKA an album that sizzles, but today we are going multimedia with a new series where we talk about music and movies. We’re calling it Music and Popcorn—shout-out to Morgan for coming up with that— and we’re kicking it off by taking a trip up north to the Santa Cruz boardwalk, and taking a creepy escalator down into Jordan Peele’s 2019 film, Us. 00:00:35 Music Music “I Got 5 On It (Tethered Mix)” off the album I Got 5 On It by Luniz. Slow, somewhat eerie instrumentals and vocalizations. 00:00:55 Oliver Host If someone in 2016 had asked for your opinion about Jordan Peele, you might be forgiven if you had first asked, “Wait, was he the tall guy or the short guy from Key and Peele?” [Morgan laughs.] Prior to his breakout debut film, Get Out, Peele was best known for his comedy skits, alongside partner Keegan Michael Key. But with Get Out, Peele showcased all manner of talents as a screenwriter and director by crafting one of the most lauded horror-slash-thriller films in recent years. In 2019, Peele was back with Us, a dark and at times darkly funny meditation on race, class, and equality, and the lethal shortcomings of voice-activated smart devices.

To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.
