:40:01
This great wakeboarding sequence
was Jeffrey's idea.

:40:05
He didn't want the fish
just to go underwater...

:40:07
he wanted Sinbad to hitch on it for a ride...
:40:10
and not merely get towed...
:40:12
but actually ride behind
this enormous 200-foot wake...

:40:15
like you would behind a ski boat
or a wakeboarding boat.

:40:20
Huge scale shots.
:40:22
I think they all pretty much
work back to back.

:40:25
Take that 3D water
and then try lo light it from underneath...

:40:29
then there was
such a magical look in the end.

:40:32
But you're sitting there,
trying to do rough concept on this...

:40:35
something like, "What does that look like?"
:40:38
I thought it was cruel in a movie
full of kids drinking soft drinks...

:40:41
that we have so much water in it.
:40:43
Did anybody make it through this movie
without a quick dash to the restroom?

:40:49
How many times do you make
your hero get sick to his stomach?

:40:56
Is that a James Baxter shot?
I think it was...

:40:58
of Sinbad bouncing nauseated
on the rim of his ship.

:41:01
It was a great example of how squash
and stretch works in animation.

:41:07
The rocking of the boat
was done first in 3D...

:41:10
and then followed the movement
of the boat as Sinbad reacts to it.

:41:15
The 2D effects addition. The snot bubble.
:41:19
Always a crowd pleaser.
:41:21
If you want to know
who came up with the carrots line...

:41:24
- sitting to my left, Mr. Patrick Gilmore.
- Don't say that.

:41:27
One of those things he said, and we said.
:41:29
"We can't put that in."
Patrick said, "Why not?"

:41:32
And we said, "Okay."
:41:34
And there it is. The carrots line.
:41:40
William's animation throughout on Marina...
:41:46
as the lead animator for Marina.
Just some beautiful, sensitive...

:41:49
thoughtful work on Marina.
:41:51
The hardest things
to do with a character are not...

:41:54
the action but the quiet, thinking moments.
:41:57
And none better than
what Marina's doing throughout the picture.
