:08:03
staging it and making it feel real
and making the stakes feel...
:08:06
Love that shot that Mark came up with.
:08:08
Now we used to kill this monster
slightly more graphically.
:08:11
If you watch the shot where he gets hit...
:08:13
it cuts before the strike, right?
:08:17
So you don't really see
the poor guy get impaled...
:08:19
but when you offer the opportunity
to kill a sea monster to storyboard artists...
:08:23
they go for it.
:08:24
You okay?
:08:27
Thanks for sticking around.
:08:28
We killed that sea monster
in so many different ways, too.
:08:31
One time, we tied him up with string...
:08:33
and had him sort of list over
and sort of sink.
:08:36
We had him get knocked right through
the head by the tip of the boat...
:08:40
to get a whole ramming pass on that thing.
:08:44
So many different mechanical ways
of how to kill a sea monster.
:08:47
At one point,
it wasn't a guard who got eaten...
:08:49
it was Sinbad who ended up
inside the sea monster.
:08:52
And here's Eris again.
:08:54
Dan Wagner was our lead animator for Eris...
:08:57
and I think as much as any animator
invented their main character...
:09:02
Dan really invented Eris.
:09:04
We had these ideas in our head
of how she would move and flow...
:09:07
and the hair would be sort of gravity-less.
:09:10
But it was Dan's first test shot...
:09:12
and Patrick and I scraped our jaw
off the ground and said.
:09:15
"Yeah, that's Eris."
:09:17
Yeah, here the environment
and the character both are using...
:09:21
both traditional animation 2D effects...
:09:24
and 2D animation and 3D effects...
:09:27
and 3D effects animation on the character.
So there's a lot of back and forth...
:09:31
between departments for a beautiful look
in the end. It's stunning.
:09:36
Well, Dan had to do Eris
towards the end of the picture.
:09:39
All of it in a few months.
:09:43
So it's amazing what he came up with.
:09:46
Sinbad, you don't have a heart.
:09:52
That's what I like about you.
:09:55
So, I'm going to let you live.
:09:57
But there's just one little thing
you have to do.
