: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.
:31:00
We did all the rendering.
They are in fact nude in model...
:31:03
and yet you didn't want to be
unnecessarily revealing...
:31:06
so there was a bit of paint
work on these women after it was done...
:31:10
to make sure we weren't being
a little too out front with them.
:31:14
Again, Simon Wells did
a lot of the boards for this...
:31:17
and he did a lot of
the action tones for the whole movie.
:31:20
But this was one of those boards
that he did...
:31:23
that was really beautiful to look at,
just as a board...
:31:26
even though boards aren't really
final artwork in any stretch.
:31:30
It was just beautiful to look at.
:31:32
Very explicit and very clear...
:31:34
what a lot of the very complex action
was about...
:31:38
and very well worked out.
:31:40
It really helped us out in layout.
:31:43
What this sequence is about is
Marina earning her stripes aboard the boat...
:31:46
having just been dismissed by Sinbad
and relegated...
:31:49
to the back of the top deck
where nobody can do anything.
:31:52
She ends up saving the entire crew,
and very importantly...
:31:55
bonding with Sinbad's dog, Spike.
:31:58
The two of them cooperate
to save everybody...
