The Empire of Effects
Just about every major film now comes to us with an assist from
digital effects. The results are obvious in superhero fantasies,
yet dramas like Roma also rely on computer-generated
imagery to enhance the verisimilitude of scenes. But the realism of
digital effects is not actually true to life. It is a realism
invented by Hollywood-by one company specifically: Industrial Light
& Magic.
The Empire of Effects shows how the effects company
known for the puppets and space battles of the original Star
Wars went on to develop the dominant aesthetic of digital
realism. Julie A. Turnock finds that ILM borrowed its technique
from the New Hollywood of the 1970s, incorporating lens flares,
wobbly camerawork, haphazard framing, and other cinematography that
called attention to the person behind the camera. In the context of
digital imagery, however, these aesthetic strategies had the
opposite effect, heightening the sense of realism by calling on
tropes suggesting the authenticity to which viewers were
accustomed. ILM's style, on display in the most successful films of
the 1980s and beyond, was so convincing that other studios were
forced to follow suit, and today, ILM is a victim of its own
success, having fostered a cinematic monoculture in which it is but
one player among many.

The Effect of the STEAM-GAAR Field Learning Model to Enhance Grit
The aim of this research was: 1) to synthesize the learning system; 2) to compare the pre-test and post-test grit score; 3) to compare a formative evaluation of the grit score with the criteria; and 4) to study the correlation between grit score and learning achievement score. Results exhibited that: 1) the learning system has 9 segments. 2) the post-test grit score was higher than the pre-test score at a .01 level of significance; 3) the level of grit after using the developed model is 81.74 per cent, which is above the 80 per cent threshold; 4) grit was correlated with a learning achievement of 0.77.

Is it real... or is it motion capture? the battle to redefine animation in the age of digital performance
The technology may have advanced to the point where raw motion-capture data can constitute a performance, but the images still require significant manipulation before they are considered viable for exhibition. Since frame-byframe animation remains the primary means of finessing those images into a finished product, the Motion Picture Academy still views character animation as a necessary component of motion capture.
