I Have Beezer Questions
I’m not the best at spatial thinking in art, but a particular scene in VLD intrigued me since the first time watching it.
During the Allurance kiss moment, Beezer zooms towards the center of the park and we clearly see the robot slowing down right next to them - in the center, facing the big old tree. Notice the surrounding landscape: a brown fence all around the small park. Purple tulips behind the fence. The very large tree in the middle, circled by a small blue flower garden, bordered by a curb. Smaller trees all around the park, in the background.
Also, notice: Allura is on the right side, Lance is on the left.
Immediately after that frame, comes this one (whooshing sound of moving robot still on):
Beezer enters the scene from the right side of the screen, and we can clearly see, behind the robot:
- the fence (lower-right corner)
- the big old tree (I adjusted the brightness and contrast so you can see the thick branches better). No other tree in the scene is this voluminous.
So Beezer is now facing the purple tulips, back against the big tree and against Allura & Lance, squealing a robotic “Wooow” in reaction to their kiss, but Beezer’s not really looking at them, it’s admiring the purple flowers (purple, huh?).
How… did that happen? A millisecond ago it was slowing down right in front of them.
Going past this awkward cinematic moment, here’s the scene right after:
Allura and Lance interrupt their kiss to look at the noisy intruder, Beezer. Notice the tree bark pattern behind them.
Allura is now on the left and Lance is on the right. How… did that happen?
On to the very next screenshot:
We see Beezer for a very split-second retracting its mechanical hands, after collecting a purple tulip. So now you can clearly notice the spatial relationship to Lance and Allura. Beezer obviously did not stop in front of them, it went to one of the yard sides to collect a flower (for Holt’s lab? LOL, working so late at night?).
From the angle of the shot, it looks like we (the audience) are watching from somewhere in the old tree’s vicinity.
After this, Beezer walks over to them and offers to take a picture. Here it goes:
So Allura and Lance’s positions correspond to the previous frames - but not to the initial scene (check out the very first screenshot - Allura was on the right, now she’s on the left).
Bizarre, isn’t it, Beezer?
- Is this just a random succession of animation errors or… did this scene look differently in the #realS8?
- Why purple tulips?
- Which side of the park did Beezer go to? Did it really go to the middle? To the left? To the right? 😅
- Who was Beezer “wow”-ing to?
- Why was Beezer collecting purple plants at night, when kids should be in bed at that time? 😋
