Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

:49:01
It's about...
Part of the purpose of this sequence...

:49:03
is that Sinbad and Marina cooperate
for the first time.

:49:10
Our little ode to snowboarding there.
:49:12
It was tough watching
all those snowboarding videos.

:49:16
I think David James had a good time.
:49:20
Lots of great design
from David throughout this.

:49:22
The drawings he did were just so clear...
:49:25
for such an elaborate space.
:49:27
- Ouch.
- The rhythm of this sequence is great.

:49:29
I don't know how much editing
you guys had to do but it's kind of...

:49:32
For all of the work that we do
in layout and story...

:49:35
it really does come down
to cutting it together...

:49:38
with a sort of live-action feel.
Tom Finan, our editor...

:49:41
was very aggressive in the way
he would both cut things...

:49:44
and then ask for shots,
actually request ways...

:49:46
in which he could keep the energy feeling...
:49:49
like it was real,
like it was a live-action approach to it.

:49:52
He did a lot of crosscutting,
which is unusual for animation...

:49:55
but it definitely gives the movie
a lot of energy.

:49:58
This shot took forever, the whole family.
:50:04
Seven characters, so you have to imagine...
:50:06
as many as seven people
working on one shot.

:50:08
So that kind of scene
can be in production for months.

:50:11
Beautiful effects animation.
:50:18
Always a challenge to get scale
throughout the picture.

:50:21
There are visual challenges,
animation and lighting challenges...

:50:24
to hint at the size
of the world we're trying to depict.

:50:27
We had to redo the costumes
in these scenes.

:50:29
They were all clothed
with the wrong costume.

:50:31
I think we'd forgotten
to get them ready for winter.

:50:36
So it's significant
that this next scene takes place...

:50:39
in the same location...
:50:41
where Sinbad first attempted
to thank Marina for saving his life.

:50:45
It is now her going back...
:50:48
Iooking at the railing
that was broken in the Sirens sequence...

:50:52
and it's now her turn to thank him.
:50:55
And this scene was storyboarded
by Sharon Bridgeman...

:50:58
and the boards were so full of emotion.
