This book is a first and long-awaited study of the directorial work of the animation master Fëdor Khitruk (1917-2012), an artist who formed in the tradition of classical cel animation only to break the conventions once he turned into a director; a liaison between artists and authorities; a personality who promoted daring films to be created in the Soviet Union dominated by socialist realism; and a teacher and supporter of young artists that continued to carry on his legacy long after the Soviet empire collapsed.Fëdor Khitruk: A Look at Soviet Animation through the Work of One Master reveals Khitruk's mastery in the art of the moving image and his critical role as a director of films that changed the look of Soviet animation and its relation to the animation world within and beyond the Eastern Bloc. Based on archival research, personal interviews, published memoirs, and perceptive analyses of Khitruk's production of films for children and adults, this study is a must-read for scholars in Soviet art and culture as well as readers fascinated by traditional animation art.

This volume explains how graphic designers can adapt their designs to this world that lives and changes rapidly by using animation and storytelling to transmit contents faster.In the information explosion age, where there is a shift from static printed information to digital media, designs that can convey information faster, more convincingly and, thanks to mobile phones, ubiquitously, are likely to gain the public's favor. As a result, graphic designers are increasingly including animation in their work to enhance their storytelling, making it more functional on the one hand and livelier on the other, increasing interest by appealing to people's emotions and desire to be entertained. This book showcases the current state of motion graphics in light of new media such as touch, mobile, outdoor and digital video media. Divided into three chapters, it first posits how a "rethinking" of motion graphics is essential in the context of new media to ensure that graphic design remains dynamic and able to engage people in both an appealing and informative way. The second chapter consists of exclusive interviews with animation designers who discuss the nature of contemporary animated graphics and their work, while the final chapter includes selected projects from across the world. Featuring the newest ideas and work of the world's most advanced designers, the book is a valuable source of inspiration and information for professional graphic designers and students.

In recent years, falsification and digital modification of video clips, images, as well as textual contents have become widespread and numerous, especially when deepfake technologies are adopted in many sources. Due to adopted deepfake techniques, a lot of content currently cannot be recognized from its original sources. As a result, the field of study previously devoted to general multimedia forensics has been revived. The Handbook of Research on Advanced Practical Approaches to Deepfake Detection and Applications discusses the recent techniques and applications of illustration, generation, and detection of deepfake content in multimedia. It introduces the techniques and gives an overview of deepfake applications, types of deepfakes, the algorithms and applications used in deepfakes, recent challenges and problems, and practical applications to identify, generate, and detect deepfakes. Covering topics such as anomaly detection, intrusion detection, and security enhancement, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for cyber security specialists, government officials, law enforcement, business leaders, students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
