:55:00
- Slack to all sheets!
- Aye, aye, Captain.
:55:02
Cut the fore and main trusses! Move!
:55:04
There's a great place for us
to develop some ideas...
:55:06
and lay out just...
:55:08
I remember sending a whole lot of coverage
down to Tom...
:55:11
and encouraging him
to choose the best bits...
:55:14
and then seeing the final cut.
I think he used everything of it.
:55:19
Fine-tuning and the editing here
works really great.
:55:23
The edge-of-the-world effect
was one of the first big CG effects...
:55:26
that was developed
by our 3D effects department...
:55:29
and the big challenge
was not just to convey...
:55:32
water going off the edge of the world...
:55:33
from the distant perspective of Sinbad
and his boat as they approach...
:55:37
but also to convey the spectacular updraft...
:55:39
which is going to carry the boat across
to the gateway afterwards.
:55:42
And they developed this really beautiful
sort of veil...
:55:46
of wind-whipped water that...
:55:48
We looked at the Bridal Veil Falls
from Yosemite...
:55:51
which pushes so much air down...
:55:53
that the falls actually flow upward
for part of it.
:55:57
There's a beautiful sail animation
just when the sails are slack...
:56:00
of these things kind of
being whipped around...
:56:03
by the wind and then to rig them
in a configuration...
:56:07
that would actually fly,
was Seth Engstrom's design.
:56:13
Come on!
:56:15
Of course, all their legs would be broken
if that really happened.
:56:18
Luckily, it's animation
and our characters survived.
:56:21
And Sinbad's lost his hat
till the end of the movie, right?
:56:24
Oh, boy, that was a debate.
His hat was on every scene for a while...
:56:27
and then we realized we weren't doing
our main character justice...
:56:31
and so the hat's off.
Several key points throughout the picture.
:56:35
He just looks a lot more manly
without the hat.
:56:38
Manly, yes, but I liked it.
:56:41
Great 3D lighting of the boat through here,
these next couple of shots.
:56:46
Light through the sails.
:56:53
That was a great shot.
:56:54
Didn't you add that in the layout, Damon?
The shot with the mast shaking?
:56:57
Yeah, we spent ages animating it
to try and solve it...
