Those in the Eugene area will have the opportunity to see the Animation Show at the Bijou Art Cinemas November, 7-13.The Animation show has put animated short films into more theaters than any other animation festival in American history, according to the show's promotional material. Animation is perhaps one of the most misunderstood of film genre and is "undervalued and underexposed" in American cinema. The film "Stealing Time" by University of Oregon graduate Michael Garrity, will be screened in Eugene on November 7.The films story focuses around "Four friends straight out of college trying to take control of their lives. After struggling to make it in Hollywood with no success, Alec (Facinelli) enlists his friends (Foley, Embry, Ayanna) to pull off one of the largest bank heists in history." If you are interested in politics and film, consider a new contest called Bush in 30 Seconds. This a a political advertising contest sponsored by moveon.org voter fund. Submissions will be accepted between November 24th and December 5th, 2003 and on web site voting will run between December 15th and December 30th, 2004. This week's Scout Report comments about a project of possible interest to readers. The Open Video Project contains close to 2000 digitized clips and complete short films, and will be of great interest to those researching visual culture. The article notes,"Sponsored and developed at the Interaction Design Laboratory at the School of Information and Library Science and the University of North Carolina, the project began in 1998 with approximately 195 video segments. The archive available here provides video clips from a variety of sources, including quite a few obtained from U.S. government agencies. The entire archive may be searched by keyword, or browsed by genre, duration, or thematic collection. There are some rather compelling files to peruse here, including a collection of classic early television commercials (including one for Jello), a short silent film titled 2 A.M. in the subway, and an educational film titled A is for Atom, produced by the General Electric Company." Scout Report also notes that The Internet Movie Database "...has grown by leaps and bounds in the past nine years. Containing literally millions of pieces of information, users looking for information from films such as Orson Wells' Chimes at Midnight to more contemporary fare can merely enter the title of the movie into the IMDB search engine and a complete record will be returned. Along with basic information about each film.." The Digital Michelangelo Project provides an opportunity to examine the recent improvements in laser rangefinder technology. This innovated use of lasers allows one to "...accurately digitize the external shape and surface characteristics of many physical objects. Examples include machine parts, cultural artifacts, and design models for the manufacturing, movie making, and video game industries." A team of 30 faculty, staff, and students from Stanford University and the University of Washington spent the 1998-99 academic year in Italy scanning the sculptures and architecture of Michelangelo. Now this data is being processed with the goal to produce a set of 3D computer models - one for each statue, architectural setting, and map fragment we scanned - and to make these models available to scholars worldwide.The project site provides a variety of material that lets you explore the application of this technology. has introduced a new search feature that may prove particularly useful to researchers. They call it "Search Inside the Book". When you put in a word or group of words into the Amazon search box, the search will return items with the words not only in the title or author, but within the text of the book itself. Although this feature is not displayed with all items, Amazon claims to have digitized over 120 million pages so you have a good chance of seeing a number of such results.More information can be found in a .

Bogus web sites have become a serious problem for those who surf the Internet in search of accurate information.The spoof site, SkyHigh Airlines (noted in an earlier Up Front Sunday Morning column) is one example. Here is a list of links to additional sites that, in some cases, are hard to distinguish between bougus or real.

Although it was the only such prototype, Boilerplate was eventually able to exercise its proposed function by participating in several combat actions." Bonzai Kitten. This is a site with very dark humor about raising kittens as one would a Bonzai tree. It takes a while to realize this is not for real.

REGULATION OF CYBER CAFES An appeals court in Orange County, California, will soon be deciding whether to uphold a lower-court ruling that prohibits the town of Garden Grove from imposing strict regulations on cyber cafes -- regulations enacted because city officials found that cyber cafes that provide Internet access and video games were attracting gangs and violence. Owners sued the city, saying their businesses were being unfairly picked-on. (Los Angeles Times 24 Oct 2003) http://www.latimes.com/technology/la-me-cyber24oct24,1,2911110.story?coll=la SCREENERS CODED TO PREVENT MOVIE PIRACY A compromise has been reached that will make possible a carefully controlled distribution of free cassettes to Oscar voters for private screening during the upcoming awards season. The movies will be numbered VHS cassettes rather than easily copied DVDs, and they will be coded for tracing if they are sold or pirated. Academy members will sign contracts taking responsibility for any "screeners" they accept, and making them subject to possible banishment from the Academy if the screeners are later found on the black market. (Washington Post 24 Oct 2003) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A9Oct23.html COPY-MANAGED CD BOOSTS SALES FIGURES. BMG Entertainment is cautiously optimistic about its latest experiment in discouraging music copying. The new Anthony Hamilton album, "Comin' From Where I'm From," hit the shelves in late September on a CD with built-in "copy management" technology. Buyers were limited to making three copies of the CD, and BMG says so far, the Hamilton album has experienced a slower-than-average sales drop-off -- 23% vs. the typical 40-60% after the first week. "I know my science well enough to know that correlation does not mean causation," says Jordan Katz, senior VP of sales at BMG's Arista label. "I would not go out on a limb and say this was the only reason [sales] were down only 23%. However, I would say it was a contributing factor." The CD also allows users to e-mail songs to friends, who can download and play them on their computers for 10 days before they expire. A lack of buyer backlash against the technology has prompted Katz to put the copy management software on at least two more upcoming releases. (Washington Post 30 Oct 2003) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38Oct29.html EXTENDING THE MUSIC LIBRARY.Two students at MIT have developed an electronic music library that allows anyone on campus to access 3,500 CDs. Called the Library Access to Music Project (LAMP), the system lets a student go to its Web site to select a CD and have it delivered through the campus closed-circuit cable TV to the student's dorm room or other campus site. One of the students who conceived of LAMP explains: "We had a library in school that closed at 7 p.m. The school had this great music in the library, but you couldn't get there. I was thinking, how could we get students better access to this library?" In 2001, the two creators of LAMP received a grant from iCampus, a Microsoft-backed alliance with MIT. (San Jose Mercury News 27 Oct 2003) GAMES ARE WHERE THE GIRLS ARE. Girls increasingly are getting hooked on computer games and game makers are beginning to notice. According to a new survey by the Entertainment Software Association, about 26% of all video and computer gamers are women 18 or older, a finding that has resulted in more companies offering card games, puzzles and word games, which are more appealing to women than the male-dominated slugfests like "Quake" and "Doom." Microsoft says 68% of the 30 million registered players at its www.zone.com site are women, and Game Universe reports that 60% of its eight million registered games are women. Meanwhile, simulation games such as "The Sims" have found a following among females, which make up about 56% of the players. "Women just have better taste in these things," says a senior analyst at Jupiter Research. Similar demographics are apparent at the newly launched There.com, which offers players a free-form animated world where users create characters and then socialize, build houses, exchange goods or simply wander around. One enthusiastic There player says she's logged in an average of four hours a day since joining. "Work and There are my life," she says.

Animation is one topic I often hear discussed by Interns and others working in multimedia. The article Films From the Next Generation,by Jenny Donelan (Computer Graphics World) explores student made shorts that exemplify the evolution of CG animation. The article highlights four films; "Mickey's Buddy" by Peter Paquette, "El Arquero" by Raphael Perkins, "After You" by Christopher Cordingley, and "Poor Bogo" by Thelvin Cabezas. Each illustrates originality and reflect the fact that college-based computer animation programs are producing some leading edge animators.
I hope you had a pleasant Halloween weekend and that the goblins have been good to you. I couldn't resist this notice on the door of a local bank. I found it not only humorous but also philosophical about daily life.
