Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

It was made possible by Sasha Su-Ling Welland’s excellent guidance, wonderful push, great support, and kind help. I have learned much of significance from everyone in the studio: Kerrie Agosta, Ellen Y. Chang, Liz Harding Chao, Mateó Ochoa, Fabian Romero, Rachel Snyder, and Lauren Wong.
Without the generous support from the Simpson Center for the Humanities and the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington as well as the National Endowment for the Humanities, this project would not have been completed. I am particularly grateful for the intellectual input, feedback, and advice from the 2020 Digital Humanities Summer Fellows: Melinda (Mindy) Cohoon, Cricket Keating, Laurie Marhoefer, Kate Norako, Solmaz Shakerifard, Taylor Soja, Geoffrey (Geoff) Turnovsky, and Kathleen (Kathy) Woodward. I extend my appreciation to our librarians, particularly Ian Chapman, Maryam Fakouri, and John Vallier.
My intellectual debts extend far into the past. However, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to my mentor John Christopher (Chris) Hamm and field adviser Yomi Braester for their great wisdom, knowledge, stimulation, and support. They have played a key role in my development as a humanitiesscholar. Eric Ames’s Film Noir course and Sarah Ross’s introduction to the video essay have played an important role in the shaping of this project.
Special thanks go to Christian Keathley, Jason Mittell, and Catherine Grant for editing The Videographic Essay: Practice and Pedagogy, which provides invaluable essays about and examples of videographic criticism.
Finally, I want to mention how much I appreciate the presence and love of my families and friends in both Taipei and Seattle. To all of them I dedicate this project with love. In particular, I dedicate it to my husband Shih-Chi Liu for his accomplice, criticism, and companionship.
