: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...
:52:00
and the Sirens themselves,
or this very placid, calm ocean...
:52:04
it was a huge vocabulary
of water to develop for the picture.
:52:09
Really, the development
started two- and-a-half years or more...
:52:12
before the release of the picture,
just to get the water alone.
:52:16
This is some of John Logan's
best writing for us in the movie...
:52:20
this confession that Sinbad makes.
:52:23
He created this for us
about half-way through production...
:52:26
and invented the whole back story
between Sinbad and Marina.
:52:30
The fact that he knew her long, long ago...
:52:32
and ended up that she was the reason
he had originally left Syracuse.
:52:37
We only had to watch it one time...
:52:38
to realize how much weight
and emotion it brought to this relationship.
:52:42
It's one of the longest acting scenes...
:52:44
I think Simon Otto, working closely
with the lead, Jakob...
:52:48
Simon did a lot,
if not all of the Sinbad work here.
:52:51
Simon also was the lead on Jin and Li,
the Southeast Asian sailors...
:52:55
but he came in as a heavy hitter
to help out...
:52:57
with this really lovely piece of acting.
