Description de l'ouvrage :
Examines how digital visual effects reshape our relationship with reality
• Offers an analytical toolkit for looking at contemporary visual culture
• Synthesises the technical and aesthetic features of hybrid imagery to build a comprehensive media-epistemology of an understudied category of moving image
• Discusses a wide range of popular film and television, as well as engaging with new forms of moving image media proliferating elsewhere
• Bridges film analysis and broader modes of cultural, technological, and socio-political critique
• Updates key elements of film and media theory for a contemporary context
Tackling digital effects such as colourisation, time-ramping, compositing and photo-realistic rendering, this monograph explores how the growing use of these post-photographic procedures shapes our relationship with the image and the world that the image represents. At stake is the ability to critically engage with the digital techniques that mediate perceptions of reality.
Through a series of case-studies the book connects the dominant techniques of hybridisation with emergent ways of being in our increasingly hybrid physical-digital world. Pointing at the relationship between mainstream visual culture and the manifold imperatives of digital technology and digital culture, Hybrid Images and the Vanishing Point of Digital Visual Effects highlights how a handful of digital visual effects are coming to shape the way we live.

Revue de Presse :
"The contemporary literally comprises of multiple, simultaneous, often incompatible times and spaces. Tom Livingstone’s guide to the new visual effects is as fast and furious as the moving image, social and screen aesthetics that help us inhabit this increasingly alien world."– Professor Seán Cubit, University of Melbourne
