"Don't Film The Locals!" Short
The inspiration for this Short came from me wanting to experiment more with hand-held movement, as well as environmental interaction with the camera. The initial concept for this was having someone filming a person walking in front of the camera, the person being filmed then get's upset and starts running at the person filming, then the camera is dropped on the ground.
Animated Entirely in Replay Mod
After coming up with the initial concept for the Short, I went straight into Minecraft to record and create the main animation with Replay Mod. I used additional tools, such as the Creator Overlays mod to get the framing and composition right for the vertical orientation of Shorts, as well as the Complimentary Reimagined Shaders to give a more realistic looks to the otherwise boring Minecraft lighting.
Adding Sound Effects
The Short felt a bit lifeless and boring without sound effects to really sell what I was going for with this. I took the clip I got with Replay Mod into Premiere Pro and added all the sound effects needed to make it feel just right!
