[ecrea] Animation Studies 2.0 - September CFP

In the month of August there will be no new blog posts. Nichola is now 
on Maternity leave. She has temporary handed over to Jacqueline Ristola 
and me, and a little bit of time is necessary for the hand over to occur 
fully. Blog activity will resume regularly from September with exciting 
new themes!

September's theme will be "Animation and movement" and will be guest 
curated by Steve Weymouth.  The CFP for September is posted below 
(deadline *Friday 26th* August), along with the titles of the upcoming 
themes.

If you have any idea of themes and/or would want to curate a month, let 
us know by writing at (cristina.formenti /at/ unimi.it) and 
(jacqueline.ristola /at/ gmail.com)

Best wishes,
Cristina

CFP Animation & Movement, September Theme

(Deadline *Friday 26th *August 2016)

September’s theme looks at the links between animation and movement. 
While these might seem obvious to the readers of this post, movement in 
animation is both constructed, and perceived, in many varied and subtly 
different ways. How do animators think about movement? What processes do 
they bring to the creation and construction of animated movement? How do 
audiences perceive animated movement? What contributes to the various 
“qualities of movement” in animation? These and many other questions are 
raised in the potentialities of movement in animation.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

·    Animators engagement with movement (thinking, planning)

·    Qualities of movement in animation (motion capture, stop-frame, 
hand drawn, rotoscope, 3D CGI, experimental combinations)

·    Scientific support for movement perception in animation

·    Animation and movement in pedagogy

Posts of between 300 and 500 words, which discuss any aspect of the 
above topic are welcome. Contributors are encouraged to include clips 
and images to support their posts. Please also include a short bio to 
accompany the post. All permissions are the responsibility of the 
contributor. Please contact the guest editor (s.weymouth /at/ unsw.edu.au) for 
submissions and questions.


*Upcoming themes*

- October: animation and documentary
- November: comics and animation (guest curated by Chris Pallant and
