No, it’s not a reference to Pixar. However, we do admire them for their unmatched storytelling prowess.
The name is derived from a term that was coined during the production of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
There’s one particular scene in which the 2 unlikely duo protagonists, Roger Rabbit and Detective Valiant are handcuffed - they rush to a safe room for a hand saw. At several points, the detective hits his head on the lamp causing the lamp to swing all around the room casting shadows.
This was extremely difficult and challenging for the animators which produced the term “bumping the lamp.”
Sooo…. What’s the point?
By the detective hitting his head on the lamp this created a more interesting scene experience, allowing the audience to see more of the details of the room — connecting 2 distant worlds together with a few frames.
Bumping the lamp — not just a clear creative direction but a philosophy that transcends filmmaking and motion pictures compelling us to innovate and reach for the stars.
While we are obsessed with this idea, we didn’t want to be “on the nose” with the name so we found a replacement for bumping - insert rattle.
Rattle The Lamp exists to empower business leaders to accelerate their value in the marketplace through story, vision, and strategy.
It’s your time to stand out - are you ready to make a move?
