Animation History 1990's part 2

Due to the success of shows like The Simpsons, More experimental TV animation began emerging.\

The Tick 1994

The Critic 1994

Duckman 1994

The Big story 1994 shows an argument between Kirk Douglas and his older self, Quentin Tarantino liked it so much it was shown before the screening of Pulp Fiction.

The secret adventures of Tom Thumb 1995

The End of the World in four seasons 1995 Is an animation that makes use of multiple screens telling several stories at the same time yet some overlap too.

Toy Story 1995 was the first fully 3D feature filmmaking the toys come to life. It was produced in partnership with Disney and Pixar 

Film Noir self evaluation

All in all, I thought the Genre Film shooting went very well, we were efficient and fast at shooting (relatively) it only took about 4 hours all up. I thought the location was great for the film and We all did a good Job.

A couple of things I would improve on is reframing some of the shots, adding another fill light (Now I learnt how to use them properly) just to not let the shadows fall completely into black.

One thing I really learnt was how bad the crop factor is on the BMCC. The Some of the desired shots we were unable to achieve because of the narrow angle of the lens. However, I really liked shooting on the black magic apart from that and also the files size of the RAW format are unmanageable so I didn't shoot in RAW.

the other thing I learnt was to check properly the shutter angle!!!!!!!!!!! someone had left the camera set at 90º and I forgot to check until halfway through the film. (good thing there was no grain with the higher ISO)

Lighting Ratios & Inverse square law

Lighting ratios = difference between the key light and fill light

Intensity = 1/d²

These are achieved by distance, diff paper, flags, different lights, dimmer.

Through this exercise, I really felt I learnt how to manipulate light in a cinematic way to get the result I wanted.

the below example is a lighting ratio of 8:1 this was measured on a light meter using an incidental reading using a lumi disk for the key light and the fill (reflector board)

Film Noir Shooting

Here is a collection of Photos from the shoot, Self-evaluation will follow:

The bare minimum of gear

Lens Mounts

Lens mounts:


EF mount: developed by cannon:

F mount: developed by Nikon, used by F3 camera at SIT

PL mount: developed by Arri PL stands for positive lock. has advantage of strength for more weight.

Frame size:

Full Frame 35mm

Super 35mm equivalent to APSC-C (crop)
