:31:00
We did all the rendering.
They are in fact nude in model...
:31:03
and yet you didn't want to be
unnecessarily revealing...
:31:06
so there was a bit of paint
work on these women after it was done...
:31:10
to make sure we weren't being
a little too out front with them.
:31:14
Again, Simon Wells did
a lot of the boards for this...
:31:17
and he did a lot of
the action tones for the whole movie.
:31:20
But this was one of those boards
that he did...
:31:23
that was really beautiful to look at,
just as a board...
:31:26
even though boards aren't really
final artwork in any stretch.
:31:30
It was just beautiful to look at.
:31:32
Very explicit and very clear...
:31:34
what a lot of the very complex action
was about...
:31:38
and very well worked out.
:31:40
It really helped us out in layout.
:31:43
What this sequence is about is
Marina earning her stripes aboard the boat...
:31:46
having just been dismissed by Sinbad
and relegated...
:31:49
to the back of the top deck
where nobody can do anything.
:31:52
She ends up saving the entire crew,
and very importantly...
:31:55
bonding with Sinbad's dog, Spike.
:31:58
The two of them cooperate
to save everybody...
:32:00
and develop her first strong
bond on the boat.
:32:03
Although there was thoughts of putting
a watery she-dog...
:32:10
And the water is really
one of DreamWorks' specialties.
:32:12
I mean, we had waters
in every movie we made.
:32:15
From the Prince of Egypt,
the parting of the Red Sea.
:32:19
So people surely know how to do water.
:32:22
And here one of the biggest challenges
was to get water to flow uphill...
:32:25
and down waterfalls...
:32:28
and something that the boat
could actually sail on in real spaces...
:32:31
within the computers. Very challenging.
:32:35
- We beat the heck out of our hero here.
- He gets clobbered.
:32:38
Dog steps on his head, he gets clocked
with a block of wood. Poor Sinbad.
:32:42
He's a nice hero, though.
He's not invulnerable.
:32:44
He's actually a human guy, though,
and I think much more likeable.
:32:48
Yes, those were flying fish going by you
in a mere two shots...
:32:51
for all of the development effort.
:32:52
- Gone forever now.
- There they are.
:32:55
The point was that Sinbad
has now crossed a threshold.
:32:58
He's passed through a place that
nobody has ever passed through before...
