The rhythm of the editing:
a beautiful and neat editing of the moment when the two knives of the queen and the pirate fell in the opening chapter, it made full use of the continuity of actions, sounds and visuals to make transitions, showing the editing's good control of "time", "putting the audience together". The heart mentioned the throat", giving people a sense of smoothness in one go. At the same time, this also hints to us that the rhythm of the whole article will be tense and fast. Similarly, beheading and cutting sausages in the mid-term are also secondary applications of this technique. In the pirate contest and the monkey stealing the bird, there is always a connection point between dreams and reality. The grabbing of things becomes this point, and the editing makes it a logical presentation. This is a typical transition using the similarity of specific content.
The group chaotic fight scene consists of 2 still shots of weapons, more than 10 two-subject fighting actions, and the last group scene, a very fast, short, simple causal editing, but complete the tension and excitement pirates appear. In order to reduce the difficulty, the screen uses a one-way action screen of two subjects; the final group fight is actually a repeated rhythm of several sets of fixed actions.
No2. Use a progressive approach to the history of the captain's glorious deeds. Still pictures, swings, and actions of montage editing complete the coherence of the three scenes in one go, and through the last Oolong deed, the theme is humorously pulled back to the main topic of the second-in-command's narrative.
The captain set off with full confidence, and completed the transition of different scenes through the fast editing of the same camera position, omitting the repeated scenes and foreplay parts that are not necessary to explain. The appearance of the captain, which in turn highlights the repeated defeats of the captain, and the rapid decline of morale.
The editing is "fast", but not as fast as "Two Smoking Guns", and of course "slow": the animal display under the long moving camera suggests the evolutionary history of animals, and then completes Darwin's appearance, followed by the scene. The beginning of the pirate attack is completed indoors, and the plot is connected without showing it from the outside. The methods are diverse and coherent.
The high-speed and slow-motion on stage after winning the award pushed the plot to a small climax, and the fast switching with the ruby ​​trophy hinted at the complexity of the captain's heart and further deepened the conflict.
Break down 3 times, each time is shorter than the last, and the last picture plus the sound effect completes the presentation of the joke in a completely montage way.

Lens screen:
The gloomy sky, the captain walking into the darkness and the crew's sympathy, pulled back continuously, highlighting the calm and desolate scene;
to Darwin's home, there is the flavor of Sherlock Holmes' opening shot, both from the shooting angle and the sound of the horse's hooves;
through a series of fixed Shots, pushes, pulls, moves and montages complete the night at Darwin's home.
The Treasure Room of the Tower of London, where the Queen's Throne Trap opens the floor trap is an obvious 3D tribute to the 2D animation "The King and the Bird" (France). The small appearance of the Mona Lisa completes the expression of the quantity and quality of the treasure in the wide-angle rear-pull lens.
The Oscar-nominated 4 pictures simulate the live broadcast method when the Oscars are announced, and two of them have a humorous interaction;
the two-dimensional play on the nautical chart, like an elastic band, completes the interconnection on the big scene, and after the voyage begins The dropped red marker is also a joke on the route;
the lighting effect of the small indoor scene is very good, especially the strong contrast at several pirate gatherings, which sets off the dangerous scene and atmosphere. The speech at the annual scientific meeting is mainly the captain. The habitual personal show brings the drama of wanting to prove one's own success, but is about to fall into tragedy again. These rely on the shading effect in dimly lit situations to be in place.

Plot arrangement and others:
After the captain is fired, the story line is divided into two, one is that the captain finds Darwin to rescue Dudu bird, and the other is that the monkey calls people, rounds in Chuanshan, and two foreshadowings make it coherent. The use of: falling into the trap and picking up the piece of paper is the connection and foreshadowing of the plot, and the disappearance of the monkey is the beginning of another parallel clue. Another foreshadowing is the "decoration" on the nautical chart, which is the last laugh at the end.
The arrangement of Darwin's clue is to meet the needs of the plot of "the captain completes his life's choice, after the biggest conflict - the contest with the queen", and also increases the historical reality of the play. If Darwin is a side dish, then his monkey is a seasoning. In addition to promoting the development of the plot during the journey, there is also a function of "silent" funny. The ruby ​​is a symbol of the queen when she lured the captain, echoing the left eye on the trophy of the competition, what is success and what is failure.
The heavy British English accent and rock music presented the audience with an obvious British style, but they were not as conservative as the British, and even the Queen dared to molest them.

The editing of this film is excellent, the plot is coherent and smooth, the plot has no suspense, but it is tense and exciting, the scenes are well-shaped, and the humorous methods combine old and new. For a recent good clay animation.

The Pirates! Band of Misfits quotes

  • Pirate Captain: Now listen Charles, we've all done something unforgivable. I've betrayed my pirate honor, you've betrayed science, and Mr. Bobo's betrayed the animal kingdom.

  • Charles Darwin: Yeah, I had this theory. I thought that if you took a monkey, gave him a monocle and covered up his gigantic unsightly ass, then he'd cease to be a monkey and become more of a "manpanzee," if you will.
