Sam points out that they might be asked to move to the back of the bus. This close up dialogue scene was done early since it helped me figure out the general look of the boy and how to structure the head for head turns. It is not a perfect scene but i learned a whole lot doing it.
I actually finished the final edit of the film today and turned it in. Now I have several other I need to do over the next two days. They will not be fully story boarded like this one but I have figured out how to layer various paintings together in the timeline using green screens. I am excited to try the process out.
This and the other films will be on display October 3, 2020 to February 14, 2021 at the Orange County Regional History Center ( 65 East Central Blvd Orlando FL). The exhibition is about the 1920 Ocoee Massacre in Orange County, Florida, remains the largest incident of voting-day violence in United States history.
Events unfolded on Election Day 1920, when Mose Norman, a black U.S. citizen, attempted to exercise his legal right to vote in Ocoee and was turned away from the polls. That evening, a mob of armed white men came to the home of his friend, July Perry, in an effort to locate Norman. Shooting ensued. Perry was captured and eventually lynched. An unknown number of African American citizens were murdered, and their homes and community were burned to the ground. Most of the black population of Ocoee fled, never to return.
This landmark exhibition will mark the 100-year remembrance of the Ocoee Massacre. The exhibition will explore not only this horrific time in our community’s history but also historical and recent incidents of racism, hatred, and terror, some right here at home.
The content will encourage reflection on a century of social transformation, the power of perspective, and the importance of exercising the right to vote, and will ask what lessons history can inspire for moving forward.
