Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

: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.
:51:01
They were really tender.
:51:03
That was one of the first sequences
that William animated for Marina.

:51:07
This is where he...
This scene, particularly...

:51:10
and a couple of scenes also, that
he redefined the character, the look of her.

:51:14
Sharon, when she pitches this,
has that thick Irish accent.

:51:19
"This life suits you." Her pitch is so soft
and so beautifully done...

:51:23
I think many people welled up
as they were watching it...

:51:26
in this fluorescent room
where we were doing the story review.

:51:30
The aurora was actually leftover...
:51:33
from revealing
another location and sequence...

:51:36
which was cut from the film early on.
The Medusa sequence.

:51:41
Yet another monster
on the cutting room floor.

:51:43
But her skeleton is in his cabin.
:51:47
We have so many different styles of ocean...
:51:50
this, perhaps,
being the most simple and beautiful.

:51:55
All of the work on the water, in the film...
:51:57
whether it's the raging rapids
of the Siren sequence...
