Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Azure Star GloverAzure Star Glover Entertainment Industry" 2).Also in 2011, entertainment industry-related employment accounted for approximately 17.6% of Los Angeles County's "non-farm wage and salary jobs" (25).Certainly, the Hollywood mystique is also a well-known cultural export, spawning such international imitators as Hollywood North, Bollywood, and Nollywood.Hollywood and its exports are crucial to the success and popularity of Los Angeles as a whole.In Hollywood for Historians, Andrew Dawson argues that Hollywood is "woven into the fabric of American culture and society," and therefore "represents or embodies many of the themes that political historians identify as central to the study of modern societies."Dawson further states that "the [entertainment] industry is a strategic component of the US economy, a significant employer of labour in southern California, Canada and Western Europe, and a major component of world trade" (3).Indeed, animation accounts for a significant portion of Hollywood's economic value as a whole.Current figures are difficult to quantify, but in 2004 Ted Tschang and Andrea Goldstein reported in "Production and Political Economy in the Animation Industry: Why Insourcing and Outsourcing Occur" that revenue from animation was approaching $50 billion worldwide (2).In 2004, $15 million was considered to be a low budget for an animated feature film, and the budgets for "A list" features often exceeded $100 million.A single episode of an animated television series cost $250,000 on the low end, and up to $1.5 million for popular series, such as The Simpsons (5).With the introduction of new media, however, Hollywood's currently established big-six studios (Warner Bros.Entertainment, The Walt Disney Studios, NBC-Universal, Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, Fox Filmed Entertainment, and the Paramount Motion Pictures Group) may seem to no longer form a secure oligopoly of animated media production.With recent technological advancements, it has become quite easy for even individuals to produce and distribute "cartoons" of all sorts, although such "amateur" pieces have yet to be seen by the broader public as anything but, at best, a diversion and, at worst, a waste of time.However, this paper intends to prove that Hollywood animation has and will continue to reflect Los Angeles's social and economic landscape.While indie animations can-very rarely-be lucrative for the original creator, even the most popular

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
