This shot syncs with a scream in the song, Just Can’t Wait for the Game to End by Andy Matchett. The screaming monkey was separated from the background and a depth map was added. That was exported as a green screen and the camera rotates around the head. The effect is subtle but you can feel the dimension in the open mouth. Another option would be to animate the mouth opening but I feel that isn’t needed for such a short shot.
Actually animating the moth opening and the eyebrows raising might be rather easy. I will play with this scene today and see if adding that subtle animation adds anything. If the shot can be made better, I need to put in the effort. I can watch the whole film now and feel it is good enough, but is it great?
Ron DeathSantis ended his presidential race yesterday. Several shot in the film mock the man and the lyrics for this shots are about watching him burn. The news makes those shot even more relevant today. He will leave the national stage disgraced and return to Florida to continue to ruin the state.
