In professionel moviepost-production, various components are pushed to their performance limits. Former processors for example were not able to playback the JPEG 2000 compressed image-sequences which are used for distribution in Digital Cinema as well as long term storage in digital archiving – inreal time. While today’s processors are able to decode such files a new bottleneck became part of t...

As a result of rapid technological development, the use products that emerged with interaction media, literature, and art in last three decades, new methods approaches are far from traditional, have brought dimensions to today’s intermediality. These changes paved way for spread intermedia approach emergence studies. This study sheds light on movie, Loving Vincent 2017, an adaptation oil painti...

This article extends current theorizing in media psychology on audience responses to cinema by examining individuals’ perceptions of meaningfulness. Specifically, it presents the results of a study designed to expand upon research on psychological and subjective well-being to experiences and memories of films that are perceived as particularly meaningful by viewers. Characteristics and themes o...

Cinema is a multidimensional art capable of affecting our neurophysiologic structure in different ways. Studies show that different parts of the brain are activated while watching a structured film and consequently, the movie imitates consciousness structure. This imitation of the consciousness structure enables cinema to deeply influence the brain. The effect and its manner are the main themes...

Animation has always had its champions. Animators and fans have often proved eager to sing the praises of animation and especially to laud it over and above cinema. To give examples: French animation director René Laloux (2006) famously declared animation to be the true cinema, and in a humourous yet profound essay exploring the ‘evolution’ of Mickey Mouse from adult to juvenile, renowned biolo...

This paper is two-fold. On the one hand, we present a system using qualitative spatial reasoning to help a user choose parts of an image that form interesting objects. The system then allows the user to cut these parts as if unwanted in the original image. On the other hand, we propose a modification of existing texture synthesis methods to create texture in the holes left by the cutting of pre...

Models of cinema demand have tended to employ aggregate data and focus on price and income as key variables. Surprisingly, the effects of travel time and location have not been formally investigated. The authors do so, following developments in the environmental economics literature, by presenting estimates of individual travel cost models for multiplex and nonmultiplex cinemas. A key finding i...
