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.:

This came looking at the 3 act structure - linear narrative structure - proposed by Syd Field who modernized and wrote about Aristotle's initial theory of narrative structure who stated that  “A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end” Poetics 335BC. Field  also stated that the 3 act structure   doesn't   necessarily  need to follow Aristotle's  proposed time  schedule and that the middle act (act 2) is usually twice as long as act 1 and 3. 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 : Plot Point 2 - Is li

Alien (1979) - Film Review.

-

Directed by Sir Ridley Scott and written from the minds of Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett; Alien (1979) is a film full of jump scares, high suspense and restless curiosity, as stated by Roger Ebert “At its most fundamental level, "Alien" is a movie about things that can jump out of the dark and kill you.” further emphasising the menacing and hostile nature of the foreign organism. Alien (1979) not only pushes boundaries in terms of visual design, but also in subliminal messages hidden within the film that the audience will have to sit a decipher; these include woman empowerment, challenging misogynistic views and the vulnerable qualities that reside in men. (fig. 1) Fig. 1 Alien (1979) film poster This sci-fi horror conveys themes as mentioned above strongly through its character line-up; depicting a crew of seven mineral ore miners consisting of two women, four men and one undisclosed A.I. who all vary in characteristics and personality.
