This past September and October the Ladue Broadcast Technology class put together a truly one of a kind show. For the first time since I've been at Ladue, our class put together a Ladue View that had a special theme and overlay throughout the entire production. For the month of October we decided to make our Ladue View halloween themed and it turned out spectacular. My favorite part about this past production was the attention and care put into the set to really make it pop. To get the set right was really hard because it has to fit well enough with the halloween theme but subdued enough to not be distracting. I think that the class did an amazing job at accomplishing this and made stand out from any other previous show. It is also really engaging and uplifting when you have a group of people who are all so passionate and eager in dedication to all things video and media. To create a show of this scale required a specific group of students who could unite in the same goal as well as a teacher lead environment that would be nurturing of this creativity and help bring it to fruition. It was and still is the prefect combination to make amazing things that will no doubt leave a lasting legacy to the class and Ladue High School as a whole. My particular involvement in the show was as co-host/anchor, writer, and animator for the teaser to "Revenge of the Gnomes." The idea for "Revenge of the Gnomes" was a challenging one. Most times with animation the music is created after the animating is done but in this case the situation was reversed. I was given a score that I would need to match with animation. Most every scene had to have a different hand drawn background paired with animation in which every frame had to be hand drawn and colored. The teaser for this animation was a little bit easier but just as fun to work on. Lots of small references were hidden in the video and a lot of aspects were inspired by different cartoons and drawings that I found online. Below are some photos showcasing different shots from the final teaser compared to these references and sources of inspiration!
