tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/293896060 2008-04-16 15:14:58 -0400 MIT Video Productions <p> We describe how to create with machine learning techniques a generative, videorealistic, speech animation module. A human subject is first recorded using a videocamera as he/she utters a pre-determined speech corpus. After processing the corpus automatically, a visual speech module is learned from the data that is capable of synthesizing the human subject's mouth uttering entirely novel utterances that were not recorded in the original video. The synthesized utterance is re-composited onto a background sequence which contains natural head and eye movement. The final output is videorealistic in the sense that it looks like a video camera recording of the subject. At run time, the input to the system can be either real audio sequences or synthetic audio produced by a text-to-speech system, as long as they have been phonetically aligned. </p><p>Click <a href="http://cerboli.mit.edu:8000/research/mary101/mary101.html" target="_">here</a> for more information.</p> 256 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/293621220 2007-04-24 13:33:03 -0400 leo <p>i always suspected that magical things happen in the medialab during the wee hours of the night - this recently uncovered evidence only confirms my worst fears</p><p>this movie was made by <a href="http://leo.media.mit.edu">leonardo bonanni</a> with music selection by <a href="http:/creativesynthesis/blog">matthew hockenberry</a></p><p>music by the <a href="http://cuttime.com">the cut time players</a></p> 184 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/293525820 2008-06-17 00:11:34 -0400 wrenow original stop motion dream sequence<br /><br />929Studios <br />director: jj 81 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/293190380 2007-12-19 13:01:24 -0500 MIT News Office <p>Voyager's passage through the termination shock is illustrated in this animation.

Where the outflow first encounters the ISM, it forms a shockwave called the termination shock--the boundary that Voyager 2 just crossed. It is now in the intermediate zone, called the heliosheath, where the two regions interact. Within the next few years, it will cross another boundary, called the heliopause, where the sun's influence ends. </div><div>More: <a href="http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/voyager-1210.html">MIT instrument finds surprises at solar system's edge </a></div><div>Video animation / John Belcher and Mark Bessette, MIT <br /></div> 5 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/292741320 2008-11-04 11:15:43 -0500 New Media Literacies History of Animation 0 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/292673280 2008-11-04 12:28:58 -0500 New Media Literacies 0 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/292610480 2008-11-04 12:33:02 -0500 New Media Literacies Animator Gina Kamentsky shares her creative process by describing the development of an animated promo for a tv series called "Fast Women". 223 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/292537020 2008-11-03 13:52:23 -0500 New Media Literacies What is unique about animation as a media form?
