Collaboration: Hotel Bellhop Animation: Tests and Editing.

-

Continuing on with the Bellhop Skit, I looked at animating the second scene in the sequence.  This is where Moom Sr enters the hotel and Moom Jr is dancing as he attempts to load the luggage trolley.

To start with I looked at animating Moom Junior's actions first to then be able to use that for Moom Senior reaction.

Focusing on Moom jr animation.

Focused on lifting the suit case.

Focused on animating Moom Senior's walk cycle.

Focused on cleaning up animation on Moom Senior's walk cycle.(removed foot snag seen in Test 3)

Focused on snapping Moom Senior's feet to the ground and adding in arm movement to the walk.

Clean animation on Moom Senior's walk cycle. - attached case to hand.

From there I then proceeded to edit the clip in Premiere Pro and After Effects to help with timing and effects. To do this I used after effects to help slow down parts of Moom Jr and looked at adding static effects for a cleaner animation cut. Below is the rendered outcome of the scene.

From there I then started to compile all the rendered scenes done by Kim and started to edit it all together in Premiere with the addition of sound, additional static effects to blend the scenes together and a timecode to mimic that of a CCTV camera footage

Finalized Bellhop Skit.:

In Field's Paradigm, he lays out the Acts and their structure of what happens and when. Exposition - introduced to the film’s main character(s) and situation. Inciting Incident -   Complication/ incident that sets events into motion. End of Act 1 : Plot Point 1 -The event in which the character takes on the central problem. Mid-Point (Act 2) - The main character faces increasingly intense and complex problems / obstacles. End of Act 2 ...

Figure 1: Kong Film Poster. The creative force that is King Kong (1933) was directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack and written by the visionary minds of James Ashmore Creelman and Ruth Rose.   Devised from the ideology of beauty and the beast, it shows Kong to lose sense of the world around him in order to ‘protect’ Ann (Fay Wray), who throughout the film since after meeting Kong is clearly distressed and anxious of Kong’s possessive tendencies. Forming a whirlwind of cinematography as it “plunders every trick in the book to create its illusions” (Ebert, 2002) for the audiences at the time of its release date. ( Figure 1 ). Figure 2: Ann kidnapped by tribes' people. At the time of King Kong’s (1933) release America was at the peak of the Great Depression (1929-1939), most citizens were unemployed and some even left homeless due to companies going out of business. So, for Hollywood to put out the blockbuster King Kong (1933) it ...
