:43:00
Was it Bibo who thought Eris
should be taking a bath here?
:43:03
Bibo Bergeron thought Eris should be
a lady of leisure.
:43:05
The goddess of chaos enjoying
a nice, calm, warm soak.
:43:09
In a galaxy-sized bathtub.
We keep the celestial theme with her going.
:43:15
A little hint of the roc there, of course.
:43:17
She's taken another constellation
and summoned it.
:43:22
That's great.
:43:23
A lot of those Spike shots
were late additions.
:43:25
That one came from a pass
where we'd looked at opportunities...
:43:28
to have some more fun in the picture,
add a few jokes...
:43:31
and that little shot of freezing drool
was a late addition.
:43:38
It looks like a simple effect,
but adding snow is a nightmare.
:43:42
It's got to be consistent
across all the shots...
:43:44
it's got to cut from one to another.
:43:46
We actually saw most
of the sequence without snow...
:43:48
and added it afterwards
to keep it consistent.
:43:50
All at once to do it chronologically,
so that it all matched in.
:43:56
Chuck Campbell, our sound designer,
what lovely stuff here.
:43:59
Was that an animator dying
in the background coming up right here?
:44:03
That's one of my favorite shots
of reveal of the monsters...
:44:07
where the roc is just tiny, in the distance.
:44:10
A lot of these boards were based
on the original passes that Serguei did.
:44:14
Not only did he animate Spike...
:44:17
he actually did a lot of boards.
:44:20
And so this was a lot of his, later done...
:44:23
with a bit of work by Christian Lignan.
:44:26
The animation of the roc
was done by Fabrice Joubert.
:44:29
He did a great job. He redesigned
the whole thing at one point...
:44:32
when he came over.
He comes from a 2D background.
:44:35
He was originally a 2D animator,
and now he's working for 3D...
:44:39
but he was ambidextrous and was able
to redesign the thing and remodel.
:44:43
Armen Melkonian laid this out...
:44:45
This was our first big action sequence...
:44:48
and the first time we really got to do...
:44:50
shoot coverage and shoot new ideas...
:44:52
and I love the one...
It's kind of a huge crane shot...
:44:56
as the roc comes up
and hits the foreground rock.
