:19:00
- That's my favorite sound effect there.
- At one time, we had this whole pass...
:19:04
where we were putting in shots
of Syracuse progressively declining.
:19:08
We had drawings of the ships listing
out without water on the channels...
:19:13
and all that. But just got a little bit too dark.
:19:16
We even had a war going.
:19:18
- Yes, that's right.
- We had the invading armies.
:19:20
We had black ink seeping
through the city, too.
:19:22
Volcanoes and comets.
:19:25
This is one of the early animations
that Jakob did on Sinbad...
:19:29
to kind of define the character.
:19:32
And he really found him right here.
:19:34
He found the fun and theatricality...
:19:37
and sort of wit of Sinbad, even as
Sinbad's under the most terrible pressure.
:19:42
Facing a life sentence or worse here.
:19:45
And you can still see the sparkle
Jakob found in Sinbad's eyes.
:19:49
He really kind of nailed the look
of Sinbad in that sequence.
:19:53
The lighting of this sequence is a beautiful
job done by Steve Wood and his crew.
:19:58
Just the feeling, being in the cell
with the shaft of light...
:20:01
just kind of dividing these two...
:20:03
and also helping to clue you in...
:20:05
how the lighting actually
switches places on the two characters...
:20:08
as they switch places almost storywise,
setting up for the sequences to come.
:20:14
It was a great sequence
to block in animatic...
:20:17
as we were working in a very small cell
and trying to make that interesting.
:20:21
We have them cross a couple of times which
changes the lighting, and the emphasis.
:20:27
Very well, then.
:20:28
The delegation of the Twelve Cities
finds you guilty of treason...
:20:32
and we sentence you to die. Take him away.
:20:34
Come on! This is a joke, right?
Are you people blind? I didn't do it!
:20:39
Stop!
:20:41
I demand the right of substitution.
Take me in his place.
:20:45
No!
:20:48
Sinbad says that Eris took the Book...
:20:50
Joseph Fiennes does an incredible job with
what would have been a difficult scene...
:20:54
if you imagine it just laying there
on the page.
:20:56
Proteus stepping forward
to put his head in the noose...
:20:59
and allow his friend
to go prove his innocence.
