Rippey, Advisor ABSTRACT While popular movies are often overlooked in film studies, the action-adventure genre in the 1980s has drawn considerable academic attention. Thus ‘it is not then universe of transcendent goals it is not the universe of human subjectivity’ (Sartre 49). The personal subjectivity may be biased although it does then provide freedom of self-reliance and self-dignity to one but to the other it may be disappointing. It is then logically a doctrine of actions that stimulates human to do non-human actions. Mostly in material/ capitalistic world such notion of humanism is misunderstood because men/women ascribe their desires, values and emotions to their actions and achievements as per their likes or dislikes, which personally benefit to them but not to all. Unless these subjectivities are for unselfish purpose in life, they do not help in emancipation personally or universally. During configuration, the freedom of choice, desire, knowledge, aim, quest, decision, ethics, sense of human dignity are the components that establish relationship between human emotion and human rights. Therefore emotions are universally found in human beings and they are perpetually built. Whatever the man experiences or feels, is recognized as emotional expression and those expressions are either objective as they are mostly similar to other’s feelings or the expressions are subjective because they elicit personal impressions regarding good or bad situations in life. ![]() Human condition and human nature are indispensable in the span of human life. Visual effects have never been more important to filmmaking, but recently the visual effects industry has proved to be precarious: major firms Digital Domain and Rhythm & Hues declared bankruptcy in the last two years, leading to a protest of visual effects artists at the 2013 Academy Awards ceremony. Digital techniques manipulate lighting and color, build virtual sets, tweak costumes and makeup, while also radically transforming film acting. Moreover, with the increased use of digital means at every stage, the lines between visual effects and other categories of production have rapidly broken down. ![]() ![]() Clint Eastwood’s 2008 film Changeling provides a good example of how methods like 3D character animation, motion capture, MASSIVE, and digital set extensions can be used “invisibly” for historical realism. Beyond these high-concept spectacles, however, the rapid advancement and decreasing cost of digital technologies has led to the ubiquity of digital visual effects in all kinds of films, converting “special” effects into commonplace tools. Less than a decade later, films like Avatar and Hugo took digital effects to dazzling new stereoscopic heights, while Life of Pi stood as the apotheosis of advances in particle effects like water and fur. In the first years of the new century, the Lord of the Rings films exemplified this trend, introducing groundbreaking new digital technologies, such as the motion-capture techniques that allowed Andy Serkis to perform as the digital character Gollum, and MASSIVE, a software package that uses fuzzy logic to create thousands of autonomous digital extras. Since 2000, digital visual effects have played a central role in Hollywood’s governing business model of developing high-budget blockbuster franchises like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers, and the Avengers-universe films. ![]()
