: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.
:45:01
Nol and Armen working on that
did a beautiful job.
:45:04
Brilliant job with a tough story sequence.
:45:06
Jed falling in the water, of course,
is the red herring.
:45:09
He's the one who makes you forget
what the roc is here to do...
:45:12
so that, out of your concern for him...
:45:14
you don't notice the jeopardy
that Marina's in until Sinbad does.
:45:19
Did that, cinematically, very well.
:45:21
- And to scale.
- The roc's really great there.
:45:24
It became kind of a like a tent pole for us...
:45:26
as a marker for the...
:45:28
What? Six big action sequences?
:45:31
So it was a good one
to get right, in the beginning.
:45:36
Marina here is dressed in an outfit,
that in the context of the film...
:45:40
is simply the base layer of her winter outfit.
:45:43
But it used lo be her main outfit...
:45:45
- her main costume.
- When she had long hair, yeah.
:45:47
Actually, I think, a little bit into it...
:45:50
and we finally took a deep breath and said.
:45:53
"She looks a little dowdy..."
:45:54
- House.
- A little housecoatish, yeah.
:45:56
And had a redesign of her costume...
:45:58
to give her something,
a little more action and lighter.
