Making Believe sheds new light on these developments by historicizing screen performance within the context of visual and special effects cinema and technological change in Hollywood filmmaking, through the silent, early sound, and current digital eras. Making Believe incorporates North American film reviews and editorials, actor and crew interviews, trade and fan magazine commentary, actor training manuals, and film production publicity materials to discuss the shifts in screen acting practice and philosophy around transfiguring makeup, doubles, motion capture, and acting to absent places or characters. Along the way it considers how performers and visual and special effects crew work together, and struggle with the industry, critics, and each other to define the aesthetic value of their work, in an industrial system of technological reproduction. Bode opens our eyes to the performing illusions we love and the tensions we experience in wanting to believe in spite of our knowledge that it is all make believe in the end"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 8 $a Introduction -- Acting through machines : fidelity and expression from cameras to Mo-Cap -- Behind rubber and pixels : mimesis, seamlessness, and acting achievement -- In another's skin : typecasting, identity, and the limits of proteanism -- Double trouble : authenticity, fakery, and concealed performance labor -- Performing with themselves : versatility, timing, and nuance in multiple roles -- There is no there there : making believe in composite screen space -- Conclusion. 650 0 $a Cinematography $x Special effects. 650 0 $a Digital cinematography. 650 0 $a Human locomotion $x Computer simulation. 650 0 $a Movement (Acting) $x Technique. 650 7 $a Cinematography $x Special effects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861506 650 7 $a Digital cinematography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00893633 650 7 $a Human locomotion $x Computer simulation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963160 650 7 $a Movement (Acting) $x Technique. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01940238 830 0 $a Techniques of the moving image. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710035302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4F7D062AF11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
