Create & Learn Collection

A handy, accessible, and beautifully illustrated artist’s guide to using light and shade to push character designs to a professional level.&nbsp; This shorter-form book from 3dtotal Publishing, from our new series Create &amp; Learn Collection, takes readers through clear and simple methods to achieving top-quality lighting in their drawing and digital paintings.&nbsp;The invaluable content is written and illustrated by professional artists, including an in-depth introduction by Kenneth Anderson (aka Character Cube), a character designer and illustrator based in Scotland, UK, who specializes in the creation of characters for animation, gaming, and traditional publishing. After covering the fundamentals of light and shade, he explores the ways lighting and shading can be used to describe form, push character stylization, and enhance storytelling.&nbsp;This is followed by eight invaluable tutorials from global artists, including Iranian concept artist Taraneh Karimi, Serbian illustrator Ognjen Sporin, and Italian character designer Isabella Agosti. They cover a range of topics, including ‘Controlling tonal structure of a character with light and shade’, ‘Using light within a character design’, and ‘Using light and shade in a stylized 3D character’.&nbsp;With a compact format and short, clear tutorial steps, this book is ideal for those wanting a quick reference guide or more relaxed approach from a tutorial book. It’s an ideal gift for an artist friend just discovering their digital-painting skills, or a must-buy for artists wanting to discover how the professionals create spot-on lighting and shade in their designs.

Light & Shade for Characters

Through a re-examination of the theoretical study of time and embodiment, this collection proposes an innovative new discourse in which to situate film. Each of its essays, written by a host of renowned international scholars, demonstrate the embodiment of time to be a vital part of the aesthetic experience of cinema. Analysing a broad range of films such as Beasts of the Southern Wild (USA, 2012), Talk to Her (Spain, 2002), Millennium Actress (Japan, 2001), Jab Tak Hai Jaan (India, 2012), and Jinpa (China, 2018), they each draw specific attention to moments of change and transformation, so as to explore how films operate as dynamic carriers of social meaning. Contributors examine key questions of embodied time as represented on screen; as a way of rethinking the centrality of the individual, of depicting gendered differences, of decentring western perspectives to consider embodied time in a widened global context, and as a way of expanding what embodiment means in post-human narratives. In doing so, this study not only highlights specific discourses of radical, lived experience in film, but also considers how distinctions of race and class, gender and sexuality, migration, religion, and indigeneity affect these depictions of embodied subjectivity.

World Cinema

Departing from standard histories, this book draws on the theory of excess in film to provide a re-examination of Polish cinema history, following emancipatory impulses that emerged in Polish culture between the great crisis of 1968-marked by the expulsion of Polish Jews and persecution of students-and the conservative revolution of the Solidarity movement in the 1980s. Employing a transnational and decolonial lens, Sebastian Jagielski argues that beyond the binary of state-endorsed and official 'opposition' media, there exists a range of subversive and radical films. He provides close readings of key examples such as The Devil (Diabel)(1972), A Story of Sin (Dzieje grzechu)(1975) and The Palace (Palac)(1980), considering their depiction and transformation of emancipatory ideals born out of Western countercultural movements. He also explores the filmmaking practices of directors like Andrzej Wajda to Andrzej Zulawski, examining their use of subtext, seemingly lurid narratives and subversive embedded gestures, produced against the backdrop of Communist Poland's censorship practices. In doing so he proposes a critical revision of the normative cinema of moral anxiety. He goes on to consider how on screen depictions of sexuality intersect with various modes of difference, highlighting the impact of racism, homophobia, misogyny, and classism. Rejecting a linear narrative in favour of a fragmented history, Jagielski uncovers the untold stories of Polish cinema's subversive influences.

The Politics of Excess in Polish Cinema

This book examines the integral role that makeup plays in the construction and promotion of female stardom, focusing on the transitional Hollywood period, between 1950 and 1970, a time of great change in Hollywood with the advent of television, the break-up of the studios and the break-down of the production code. Cathy Lomax's compelling study features in-depth case studies of stars Vivien Leigh, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, Dorothy Dandridge and Joan Crawford alongside archival images of make-up promotional material and the make up used by stars and their fans to interrogate the role of makeup in defining and adjusting the appearance of race, beauty, ageing, naturalness, and sexual appeal in the star image. Makeup is a vital technical material in film and photography; correcting skin-tones for different film stocks and making features visible under bright lights. But it is also a component of a film's mise-en-scene, intrinsically linked to the visual allure of cinema and helps to shape and refine the female star image, both on- and off-screen. Lomax's case studies show how makeup was used to create female figures such as the femme fatale played by Marilyn Monroe in Niagara (1953); how in various roles Natalie Wood's makeup was used to suggest a youthful, natural and openly sexual young woman, or, when as a white actress she was cast in 'ethnic' roles, to create an impression of a Hispanic, Native American or Black identity; how Dorothy Dandridge's light skin challenged codes around inter-racial relationships, with the result that her skin was darkened for love scenes with Black actors, and how the transition to colour impacted Joan Crawford's star persona as she aged, and how ideas about the grotesque nature of female ageing were represented in the 1960s cycle of 'hag horror' movies such as 1962's Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Drawing on film studies, feminist debates on masquerade theory, celebrity studies and fashion and cultural studies, alongside information from biographies, fan magazines, archives, and practical experience from her own work as a makeup artist, Lomax reveals the vital and under-examined role that makeup plays in the display of femininity on film, and how this is exemplified through the construction of individuated stardom. By making visible a material, that because of its connection with feminine adornment has been overlooked or disregarded, this book highlights undervalued labour, and foregrounds the female agency that was articulated by the design and application of makeup.

Makeup, Femininity, Race and Ageing in Hollywood

Making Up the Star

SOAS Studies in Music

With the abrogation of the Zen Buddhist Fuke sect during Japan's modernisation process in the late nineteenth century, the raison d'être for the shakuhachi (Japanese vertical bamboo flute) as a spiritual tool for mendicant monks suddenly vanished. Thereafter, playing the shakuhachi changed from spiritual practice to professional musicianship or musical hobby. The fact that the instrument had been modified and 'improved' has been a well-kept secret. The old style shakuhachi, now named jinashi shakuhachi, became a marginalised instrument for eccentrics. However, during the past decade it has gained popularity, especially outside Japan, where it is considered to be 'the real thing' as opposed to the modernised jinuri shakuhachi. Kiku Day examines how the jinashi shakuhachi, although constructed according to the principles current prior to the Meiji Restoration, itself has been modified to adapt to the needs of modern players. In order to place the instrument into the modern world in its own right, the author, a professional jinashi shakuhachi player, describes her recent collaboration with five international composers on a performance project with the aim of creating a new repertoire. This process of cross cultural creation is described against the background of action research, Theory U, and the theory of flow.
