Building Scene Transitions
For this week, I decided to go with the scenes from the Wizard of Oz as it is quite memorable from my childhood and * is one of the most seen films in history! The movie is celebrated for its use of technicolor, fantasy storytelling, and memorable characters. Hence, I wanted to focus on the grey to color mood shift as well as dream like qualities.
In each of the three scenes below (including transition breaks), I take inspiration from original film images, which I have demonstrated in the scene synopsis details. |
Unfortunately, I am having technical difficulties with Isadora. I could only get a basic screenshot video of my transitions. The video would freeze every time I hit space bar to move to the next projection scene, so that's what I have: frozen shots.
Scene ONE - Tornado Ride
Script Analysis: This scene depicts the wild stormy weather and tornado that transports Dorothy in her farmhouse to magical land over the rainbow. Media would be enhanced with windy sound effects and tornado sirens/sounds, things of all manners flying through the sky (cows). It is a bit surreal but realistic. Objects will be flying around as well as the house twirling in the air.
Content Planning: Photorealistic scene of a tornado in the sky with cows, chickens, “wicked witch” (completed below), cars, house swirling around the air (to be animated). It is grey and stormy. Audio of tornado sounds, sirens, and lots of wind. Use of photoshop to tweak movements of these objects. There could be other videos of real life tornadoes and stormy skies with lightning.

Transition
Dorothy's house lands down on the other side of the rainbow, but it also lands on the Wicked Witch and her ruby slippers. I have a Motion Leap photo to upload still. There is a big thump sound then everything goes silent.

Scene TWO - Yellow Brick Road
Script Analysis: This scene illustrates the entire new world of Munchkin Land and the yellow brick road. It’s an entirely new planet with flowers and lollipops. A very magical place. Media can sparkle everything and creating a psychedelic-fantasy like scene with butterflies, fairies, etc.
Content Planning: A drastic change in mood, color, and sounds as Dorothy arrives to Munchkin-land. There are a few AI generated images that are animated with Motionleap to create a living backdrop. There is a video of flowers blowing in the breeze. Still images with AI generate munchkins and the Lollipop gang. Audio may be playing that song in the background or at least kids giggling. I would like to animate a glowing bubble that goes from small to large with Glenda the Good Witch in it. But I did not have time.

Below, on the left are the original Munchkins. On the right are AI generated Munchkins. I would project these images with giggles of children and singing songs.

Still images of the three characters generated by AI on the right below. I would love to animate them in some way

Scene THREE - Walking through the Poppies
Script Analysis: This last part paints the scene where Dorothy and the Lion fall asleep in the poppies with the Emerald City in sight. Luckily, it starts to snow, which wakes them up.
Content Planning: The Castle will be glittering in the background with motion leap. There is snoring audio as the characters are sleeping. There are flying monkeys overhead checking on the group (need to animate with the AI generated images below). Then snow comes eventually with some animation.

END TRANSITION
Audio playing "there's no place like home". The psychedelic videos below are the transition back to real world as Dorothy in the film goes back to Kansas after clicking her slippers.
I would animate these slippers to click three times with a magic wand sound audio clip.
