Cutting a documentary scene ...
With the animation test up, I turned my attention to a documentary scene of the film. We chose to cut a scene showing 72-year-old Pablo getting one of his life time achievement awards. The scene shows Pablo "arriving on the scene" in New York, "getting showered with gifts" and then getting his awards to great applause.
The documentary elements of the film will still be treated with a painterly animated layer, turning Pablo's red scarf into a sort of magic wand that brings color and shine into the frames, juxtaposed to the animated scenes that have colorful backgrounds, but with black & white characters.
Here's the scene, still without the "magical realism filter". WIP, work in progress.
