| So what did my awesome crew and
I do!?!?
Here's a breakdown of a few of the awesome effects in Meet the Robinsons.
There's no way to list them all, but this should give a good idea of what
to look out for! In order of appearance..
Rain, Rain, Rain! Splashes, drips, cascading sheets of wet wet water!
Peanut butter and jelly. Watch out, it's flying everywhere!
Lewis' inventions exploding, and the sparks and torch he uses to create
them!
The Memory Scanner! (All of the animation of it, and the video screen
on it)
Science Fair volcanic goo, fire ants, sparks, and sprinklers!
WHIRLYBIRDS! (On the roof, ha ha, yes, we even do those!)
The Time Machine (space ship) animation, thrusters, exhaust trails and
the fun cloaking and decloaking.
Time travel effects! (Watch for them all through the movie!)
That gorgeous lake Wilbur and Lewis fly over on their way to the city
in the future!
All the cool bubbles people fly around in, and the zillions of ships flying
around the city.
Inflatable pop-up building!
The time machine crash with dirt, smoke, and lots of grass! (We even animated
the dashboard!)
All the animated little panels on the walls inside the garage of the Robinons
House.
Shimmering water around the frog bar, and the flies in the frog's vending
machines.
Tumbling miniature time machines crashing out of closet! (Harder than
it looks!)
Magic Paint that instantly paints paintings and Fireworks!!
Meatball Fight!! (The meatballs, sauce splatters, and cannon blasts)
Crashing glass from dinosaur jumping through window!
Pizza dough used to battle dinosaur, and all the dirt the dino scratches
and kicks up!
All the cool video effects on the cyber binoculars, and any video screen
in the movie.
Spinning 3D Hologram
At this point, things get pretty intense..
The swirling ring of clouds and lightning that form above the kids
The wicked effect of Wilbur disintegrating and streaming in strands of
light up into the sky.
When Wilbur escapes the house in his fixed time machine and makes it to
the new polluted world outside, we created much of the world you see.
Thousands of industrial buildings, thousands of columns of smoke &
fire, smoggy atmosphere, sulfur creek, billowing skies, hot stamping machines
flowing with lava and spewing sparks, steam jets, and electrical bolts.
The end of this sequence also featured exploding bowler hats, and swarms
of hundreds of them crawling on a building.
Disintegrating Doris.
Thousands of magical bubbles that restore the bad dirty city to a clean
bright future!
All of the colorful animating devices in grown-up Wilbur's (Cornelieus')
laboratory.
Skywriting.
And we and where we started. Rain.. Rain running down the canopy of the
time machine, and rain falling everywhere. Just like this movie, effects
everywhere. Beginning to end.
Thank you to my friends I made during the production in every department,
but especially to my special crew and family in the effects department.
