Scene:
"The Big Bad Bell"




"The Big Bad Bell"

This is a fun scene from a kids TV show filmed in Canada which comes from a TV show in Japan.
The location
Somewhere in Japan.
The characters
The lady and the man in the face mask are bad people. The big bad bell also wants to be bad.
The story
The man and the lady want the big bad bell to help them destroy the heros.
The challenge
This is a bit hard to start. I am not sure if an animated establishing shot was used for this scene
The audio of the man in the face mask is bad. You will need to use voice over to replace his voice.

Professional actors can have fun! Filming is long and boring. The actors kept the action going. Allow them to have fun.
