In this book, we also want to convey a sense of the animator’s place in the making of the fi lm and their perspective on what hap- pened, along with their professional journey leading up to that point. Steve Segal was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1949. He made his fi rst animated fi lms as a high school student before studying Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he continued to produce award- winning, independent ani- mated shorts. Aft er graduating, Segal opened a traditional animation studio in Richmond, making commercials and educational fi lms for ten years. Aft er completing the cult animated fi lm Futuropolis (1984), which he co- directed with Phil Trumbo, Segal moved to Hollywood and became interested in com- puter animation.

  • The Effect of Exposure to an Agressive Cartoon on Children's Play. INSTITUTION Beaver Coll., Glenside, Pa
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 055 297 CG 006 673 AUTHOR Cameron, Samuel M.; And Others TITLE The Effect of Exposure to an Agressive Cartoon on Children's Play. INSTITUTION Beaver Coll., Glenside, Pa. PUB DATE Apr 71 NOTE 10p.; Paper presented at Annual Meeting of Eastern Psychological Association, New York, N. Y., April 15-17, 1971 EDRS PRICE MF-S0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Aggression; *Behavior; Behavior Theories; Learning; Pictorial Stimuli; *Play; *Preschool Children; *Stimulus Behavior; Violence; Visual Stimuli ABSTRACT The authors discuss their replications of 2 prominent studies in the area of modeling aggressive behavior; those of Lovaas and Bandura. In the first, they predicted that, given the same socio-economic background, there would be no differences between black and white children in the amount of aggressive play subsequent to viewing an aggressive cartoon. No significant differences are shown between the experimental and control groups for either blacks or whites. The second study, in which 43 pre-schoolers were divided into 3 subject groups, varied the level of aggressive content by showing a different cartoon to each group. It was assumed that the children exposed to the most aggression would emit the most aggressive responses in a subsequent free play period. Again, no significant differences were found. The authors discuss their inability to demonstrate a previously well-documented effect. (TL) TheEffect of Exposure to cm Aggressive Cartoon on Children's Play' - Samuel M, Cameron, Linda K Abraham, and Jean B, Chernicoff Beaver College A series of studies by Bandura and associates (Bandura, Ross, and Ross, 1961; i963) has indicated that children will model novel aggressive behaviors shown by a mai life, film, or ''cartoon"model , These studies also show that aggressive play behaviors other than the ravel ones being modeled will also show an increase subsequent to the child's viewing an aggressive scene-.

  • Square Enix Essay
    BTEC Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production Unit 7: Understanding the Creative Media Sector The media sector is a large part of digital entertainment, including television, music, advertisements video games and films. Here I will be talking about a company which is well-known in the gaming industry. Square and Enix were originally separate companies but then there was horizontal integration, merging them together in April 1, 2003. The founder of Enix, Yasuhiro Fukushima is the chairman and shareholder of this corporation. Majority of the current company’s employees were previously working for Square, which wasn’t as successful as Enix. Other key members are Yosuke Matsuda, the president and the representative director, where he must report to the board of directors all the time, and Phil Rogers is the CEO for this corporation. Furthermore, both him and Yoichi Wada are the heads of Square Enix Europe. They vertically integrated for a larger audience and that’s how their products increased, improving the market and quality in merchandise. The structure that this company has is the same as others; with Board of Directors, Corporate Auditors, committees etc. The purpose of the directors is to engage in discussions and opinions, enabling them to see what their target audience needs. The reason why board of directors are needed is to handle the performance of Square Enix, as well as being responsible for their government expenditures (the number of money spent). They look at their audience’s stats (profiles) to compare with their competitors and the revenue that they gain throughout the years.

  • Using Data Analytics to Grow Online Revenue and Reduce Fraud Effective Business Intelligence
    If you have the humility to listen to what the data is really telling you, rather than look for data to support your assumptions, you will find opportunities that you wouldn’t have expected. Simon Protheroe, Square Enix Case Study / Using Data Analytics to Grow Online Revenue and Reduce Fraud Effective Business Intelligence With well-known franchises such as Final Fantasy, Lara Croft, Hitman and Deus Ex, Square Enix is one of the world’s largest video game companies. As it adapts to changes in its industry, it found that the large volumes of data it generates presents both challenges and big opportunities. To analyze its payments data, the company turned to Elevate, the business intelligence solution from Ingenico ePayments, with impressive results… 1 INTRODUCTION A big transition has taken place in the gaming industry over business model, making a relatively small number of very the last few years, forcing game developers and publishers large deals - selling tens of thousands of boxed copies such as Square Enix to review and adapt their business into a small number of retail partners - the company model. Historically a Business-to-Business company, Square increasingly sells directly to millions of gamers around Enix would sell large volumes of boxed games into a the world through digital distribution and small, in- network of channel partners such as electronics stores, toy game purchases. This new model means the company stores and specialty gaming retailers. The moment a game now generates enormous amounts of live data about was sold and shipped out of its warehouse, the company the performance of its games, from in-game behavior to no longer had much visibility or detailed analytics about its purchasing habits.

  • Critter Class Pileated Woodpecker
    Critter Class Pileated Woodpecker Animal Diversity Web September 19, 2011 Comment: Pileated Woodpecker! Comment: Ooooh, a woodpecker! When I was being interviewed for the Outreach position I had to do a timed writing sample writing an 'update' on a WCV patient. Of the choices I was given, I picked the Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker.. what a fascinating bird! The males are very progressive and spoil their women. I enjoyed learning about them, so I'm sure tonight's will be just as interesting! Comment: MVK, can you give us the phonetic spelling of this woodpecker. I forgot it. sorry..... MVK: Pill - E - a-ted Comment: This really is the type of wp that Woody was. Right? MVK: Right! MVK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw1TCg63Dcw Comment: What is the range of these woodpeckers? Do they stay in one area or do they migrate? Critter Class – Pileated Woodpecker 1 9/19/2011 Comment: Oh and BTW, MVK, you picked my favorite group of birds, I adore Woodpeckers and have been on several birding trips in Eastern Europe specifically to seek out some of our rarer ones. Now I'm glad you picked a Pileated for our education tonight, I mean we should all be aware of the confusion between this and the elusive/extant (dare I say 'extinct'!) Ivory Billed when searching for woodies in the Great Dismal Swamp or yonder for fear of being ridiculed on the basis of misidentification! Perhaps you could elaborate on the separating identification criteria between the two species lol. Comment: We had pileated woodpeckers at our cottage; however they are not seen by me often now.
