The girl walks up the aisle. She passes by a single empty seat half way up the aisle and instead walks back to to Sam who is four rows from the back. I finished animation on this scene and it worked out well. She turns towards Sam at the end and then I cut on the action to the next shot of her getting seated. The animation is getting looser and more spontaneous. I don’t have to hide the ruff nature of my drawings it remains in the final edit.
This short film will be on display at the Orange County Regional History Center (65 East Central Blvd Orlando FL) from October 3, 2020 to February 14, 2021 in the new exhibition titled, Yesterday This Was Home 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.
