- Intro
a. Video games and
movies use different effects to create interesting situations.
b. By comparing a
movie derivative and the original show could be used as comparisons
to see which one worked better.
Thesis: By using
the Avatar: the Last Airbender show and the Avatar: the Last
Airbender movie, we can compare how these two movies approach water
effects.
- The effect
a. When Aang
controls a tidal wave to repel the Fire Nation invaders, it is a
giant wave that destroyed their ships in the movie.
b. In the animated
version, Aang infuses with a spirit and rampages against the enemy
troops with a variety of water magic(water bending).
3. The movie
critique
a. For such a big tidal wave, the eventual crash seemed underwhelming.
b. Even if the
tidal wave is magically controlled, it would take quite a
considerable effort to keep it standing still for so long.
c. The rising of
the tidal wave seemed more powerful than it pitifully collapsing
down, considering the size of the final tidal wave.
4. The cartoon
scene
a. The smaller
tidal waves were moving fast enough to knock over the tanks.
b. In that form,
the water spirit was able to cut ships down. Water could be
pressurized to cut a lot of things including steel, although its
quite a bit of a stretch since magic is involved.
c. The same huge
tidal wave was actually as powerful as it would be to a bunch of
ships.
5. Conclusion
a. It is obvious
that the critically panned movie was not as effective as the
animated series.
b. Just because
animation can get away with impossible scenarios, it doesn't mean
that some of effects couldn't work scientifically.
