Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Great Essays

To help Eddie Valiant and other characters to imagine the cartoons, props where created. For examples, when the Toon Patrol came to Eddie house to find Roger and they were walking around with real gun. Using the previous example, when one of the weasels pointed the gun at Eddie, the special editing crew created a machine hand (Roger Rabbit and the Secrets of Toon Town). Near the middle of the movie, viewers see Baby Herman smoking a real cigar. The machinal effects supervisor stated that, they had to use servo-controlled motors that were controlled by an individual, on the machinal effects team, to make the scene more believable (George Gibbs). According to The Making of Roger Rabbit, another short documentary on how the cartoons were created stated, “…to accomplish this goal Zemeckis called on the very special talents of the Puppeteer.” In that scene, the Puppeteers are holding the guns that weasels are holding. Another example is when Eddie and Roger escape from Judge Doom and the they get in to Benny the cab. While watching the documentary on the Secret of Toon Town it showed that they used a normal car for that scene and used computer generated imagery, which they later in the developing stage. While watching The Making of Who Framed Roger Rabbit it stated that they had to carry life size replica of the Baby Herman, the weasels, and Roger Rabbit. Through this brilliance use of props, Who Framed Roger Rabbit was awarded Oscars for Best Film Editing and Best Visual Effects(Imb.com). With each prop came some form of special effects to make the props’ movement to be more direct and life
