:29:14
Steady as she goes.
:29:18
I never get tired of watching this
and remembering the history of every shot.
:29:22
It was a huge sequence.
:29:24
I think most of the department worked on it
at some point.
:29:27
Lorenzo and Nol doing the majority of it.
:29:31
But it was such a fun sequence.
:29:32
It was longer.
We cut two, three minutes out of it.
:29:35
Twice as long at one point.
:29:37
And then we threw in women
made out of water.
:29:41
But it wasn't complicated enough.
:29:43
No, how much development time
did we go through with those?
:29:48
The result was amazing,
but how many iterations?
:29:51
We did 10 or 20 iterations.
:29:53
What is that sound?
:29:55
Harry wrote the score for this almost
a year before the picture was finished...
:29:59
so that we could be influenced...
:30:01
and actually work with the score
and the Siren's song.
:30:05
But it was one of those
Harry right-out-of-the-box nailed it.
:30:08
Yeah, Harry not only wrote this first...
:30:10
he also nailed the tone of the picture
with the music...
:30:13
and so it was a really exciting discovery.
:30:20
We're proud of our water women,
and that flash of teeth...
:30:23
shows they're not all that fun to be around.
:30:25
Unbelievable level
of technical accomplishment.
:30:28
A very big team worked for a long time
merely developing the look...
:30:31
before we got our hands on a single shot.
:30:33
It was months of trying to find
what a woman looks like...
:30:35
when she's made out of water.
:30:37
Doug Ikeler's crew just did an amazing job.
:30:41
To rein it in...
:30:43
and have the CG element character
actually have it work within...
:30:48
the same space as a 2D character
was the biggest challenge.
:30:51
So to minimize the amount of detail...
:30:54
in the character
without them looking like mercury...
:30:57
And then they had a modesty pass.
