("Old DreamWorks Studios") on October 27, 2004 (the "Separation Date") in connection with our separation from Old DreamWorks Studios (the "Separation"). PART I Item 1. Business Overview DreamWorks Animation creates and exploits branded family entertainment, including animated feature films, television series and specials, live entertainment properties and related consumer products. We have released a total of 30 animated feature films, including the franchise properties Shrek , Madagascar , Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon . We currently have operations in four business segments: Feature Films, Television Series and Specials, Consumer Products and New Media. For a discussion of the Company’s business segments and geographic information about the Company’s revenues, please see the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our current business plan generally contemplates releasing two animated feature films per year. We may release one or more additional films in a particular year if we determine that there is an attractive release date and that other relevant factors support such decision. We are currently producing seven feature films, of which we expect to release one in 2015 and two in each of 2016 through 2018, and are using a third- party production company to produce another feature film that is expected to be released in 2017. We have a substantial number of projects in creative and story development and production that are expected to fill the release schedule in 2019 and beyond. Our feature films are currently the source of a substantial portion of our revenue. We derive revenue from our distributors’ worldwide exploitation of our feature films in theaters and in post-theatrical markets such as home entertainment, digital transactions and pay and free broadcast television. In addition, we earn revenue from the licensing and merchandising of our films and characters in markets around the world. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, LLC (collectively, "Fox"), pursuant to our distribution and fulfillment services agreement (the "Fox Distribution Agreement"), distribute and service our films initially theatrically released after December 31, 2012. As of July 1, 2014, we reacquired from Paramount Pictures Corporation and its affiliates and related entities (collectively "Paramount") the right to distribute and exploit the Company’s feature films theatrically released prior to January 1, 2013 in theatrical, non-theatrical, home entertainment and transactional digital media, which reacquired rights were then licensed to Fox. The rights licensed to, and serviced by, Fox will generally terminate on the date that is one year after the initial home video release date in the United States of the last film theatrically released by Fox during such five-year period, subject to any sublicense agreements approved by the Company that extend beyond such date. In addition, we will continue to receive revenues derived from the exploitation of television and non-transactional digital rights in and to our feature films released prior to January 1, 2013 pursuant to a distribution agreement and a fulfillment services agreement. Paramount will continue to exploit and render fulfillment services in television and related media for feature films released prior to January 1, 2013 until the date that is 16 years after the theatrical release of any such film, and will continue to exploit and service certain other agreements with Paramount’s sublicensees that remain in place after July 1, 2014.

    Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms— children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. ESRB Game Ratings The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age- appropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem suitable for their children and families.

    CLONES, BONES AND TWILIGHT ZONES: PROTECTING THE DIGITAL PERSONA OF THE QUICK, THE DEAD AND THE IMAGINARY By JosephJ. Beard' ABSTRACT This article explores a developing technology-the creation of digi- tal replicas of individuals, both living and dead, as well as the creation of totally imaginary humans. 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.

It is imperative that we bring to the forefront of political debate the creative industries’ future and where we, creators, fit into this new landscape.

  • 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.
