Storming Heaven

release date: Feb 20, 2002
Storming Heaven
''The emergence of a new wave of anti-capitalist activism on the streets of Seattle, Prague and Genoa has been accompanied by a growing interest in "autonomist Marxism." Steve Wright’s study brilliantly illuminates the history, complexity and internal debates of this tradition ... A vital, lucid contribution to understanding how the red threads of Marxism are being rewoven into the fabric of twenty-first century radicalism.'' Nick Dyer-Witheford, author of Cyber-Marx Storming Heaven is the first comprehensive survey of Italian autonomist theory, from its origins in the anti-stalinist and workerist left of the 1950s to its heyday twenty years later. Autonomist marxism was a political tendency which privileged themes--self-organisation, construction of identity, grassroots politics, subjects in struggle--which in many ways can be seen as the precursor of today''s debates around direct action protest. Emphasising the dynamic nature of class struggle as the distinguishing feature of autonomist thought, Wright explores how its understanding of class politics developed alongside emerging social movements. Offering a critical and historical exploration of the tendency''s emergence in postwar Italy, Storming Heaven moves beyond the crisis of traditional analytical frameworks on the left, and assesses the strengths and limitations of autonomist marxism as first developed by Antonio Negri, Mario Tronti, Sergio Bologna and others.

Digital Compositing for Film and Video

release date: Dec 05, 2001
Digital Compositing for Film and Video
Digital Compositing for Film and Video is a hands-on, practical, how-to guide that addresses the problems and difficult choices faced by the professional compositor in real-life situations. It presents techniques, tricks, and solutions for dealing with badly shot elements, coloration artifacts, and mismatched lighting that bedevil actual compositors working on real shots. Readers are offered in-depth practical methods for matte extraction, despill procedures, compositing operations, and color correction--the "meat and potatoes" of all digital effects. Compositing is the artistic blending of several disparate elements from a variety of sources into a single image while making all the component elements appear to be in the same light space and shot with the same camera. When confronted with a bad composite any observer will recognize that something is wrong--the artist will know what is causing the problem, and the technician will know how to fix it. A good compositor must be both an artist and a technician. Written by a senior compositor with over ten years'' experience in both feature film and broadcast television, this book offers a broad range of alternative solutions that will save hours of fiddling with composites trying to get them to look right when the basic tools aren''t working. A companion CD-ROM provides examples of the many topics covered in this book.

The Life of Riley
This is a family story about the quest for happiness ... And about sex, greed, gluttony and revenge. Meet the Rileys: DERMOTT: is obsessed with developing and marketing his contraceptive device, The Clip. Comparisons with Pasteur would be appropriate, Dermott thinks, for the importance of his invention. He is dedicated, single-minded, possessed of very large testicles ... and obsessive, stubborn, self-seeking and paranoid. EDITH: from the moment she was born Edith was unpopular, and things don''t seem likely to change - until she joins the mysterious TW2 cult. JUDITH: Judith never really got over the divorce; but she''s never really got over having Maude Acacia for a mother, either. But there are consolations: lunches, parties, and the heady social whirl. FIONA: for Fiona happiness is a physical thing - a very physical thing. And when it nearly kills her husband, she moves beyond the family. YOUNG JOSEPH: As far as Young Joseph can see his family is the one thing that stands between him and a life of eternal bliss. MARY: already has everything she ever wanted: a loving husband, a baby on the way ... So when a television documentary crew offer to make a film about her family, she can see no reason to refuse -- until it becomes clear that it is turning into another Sylvania Waters. MAUDE ACACIA: grandmother of the clan, who feels it''s about time everyone sat up and took notice. Every year the Rileys gather around Granny Maude for Christmas at ''Little Mornington'', the family mansion. But this year is different. This year Granny gives them an ultimatum: they have one year to achieve happiness, or they''re out of the will. In the classic tradition of COLD COMFORT FARM and P.G.
