SPACE CADET


I have finally decided to include a clip of the animatic of my senior film called "Show and Tell".

Museum Animatic


This is the first of 4 animatics that I did for a science museum in Miami . I was contacted by the curator and he wanted me to help him with a presentation that he was to give. He wanted to showcase 4 specific times in his life that influenced him to the reasons why he now worked in a museum. Since these are stories of his childhood, I thought I would make them look like old home movies.
I am attaching the script to each animatic because there are intended to each have a running commentary.
1. Age 5:
Mary Dawson, a paleontologist at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History welcomed me (with my Dad) as visitors to her paleontology preparation room and specimen collection. She gave me a children’s book she wrote.
• The point: I really knew what a museum is, at least what this museum is – a pretty broad definition for a 5 year old.
• The revelation: What was happening behind the doors was an ongoing process far more fascinating than the static articulated dinosaur skeletons in the exhibit gallery. People DID science behind these doors and had adventures outside these walls.

Roberto Clemente


Age 7:
My “uncle” stole Roberto Clemente’s hat from his locker after a Pittsburgh Pirates game. Once my uncle "stole it" he actually gave it to me for safe keeping. His action caused a big family turmoil that was diffused by him giving the hat to a museum, the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The point: museums were held by my Dad at a reverential level of status in the community.
The revelation: The Baseball Hall of Fame is equally a museum, like the Art Museum or the Natural History Museum.

Pirates Animatic


3. Age 10:
My family visited Walt Disney World where we rode Pirates of the Caribbean. The stalagmites looked the same as stalagmites in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s limestone cave exhibit.
• The point: I recognized that theater-craft is a tool for storytelling.
• The revelation: Craftsman build these things and my Dad, one of those craftsman, would have been equally thrilled to sculpt animals for the Jungle Cruise as he was to create taxidermy mounts for the Carnegie’s exhibits and programs.

Ontario Science Center


4. Age 11:
I wrestled with another boy to ride a stationary bike at the Ontario Science Center in Toronto. The other boy firmly held the bike powering the television.
• The point: I discovered exhibits that test phenomena.
• The revelation: Different museums use a variety of ways to showcase really cool exhibits but sometimes they were not supervised so kids like myself couldn't get on the exihibits. – at the time I thought that sucked.
