Nol and Armen working on that
did a beautiful job.
:45:04
Brilliant job with a tough story sequence.
:45:06
Jed falling in the water, of course,
is the red herring.
:45:09
He's the one who makes you forget
what the roc is here to do...
:45:12
so that, out of your concern for him...
:45:14
you don't notice the jeopardy
that Marina's in until Sinbad does.
:45:19
Did that, cinematically, very well.
:45:21
- And to scale.
- The roc's really great there.
:45:24
It became kind of a like a tent pole for us...
:45:26
as a marker for the...
:45:28
What? Six big action sequences?
:45:31
So it was a good one
to get right, in the beginning.
:45:36
Marina here is dressed in an outfit,
that in the context of the film...
:45:40
is simply the base layer of her winter outfit.
:45:43
But it used lo be her main outfit...
:45:45
- her main costume.
- When she had long hair, yeah.
:45:47
Actually, I think, a little bit into it...
:45:50
and we finally took a deep breath and said.
:45:53
"She looks a little dowdy..."
:45:54
- House.
- A little housecoatish, yeah.
:45:56
And had a redesign of her costume...
:45:58
to give her something,
a little more action and lighter.
:46:03
Jeff Snow...
:46:04
I'm sorry. Jeff Snow storyboarded this...
:46:06
and when he first pitched the idea...
:46:09
that he was going to tie Sinbad
to the harpoon...
:46:11
nobody bought it
and he just said, "I think I can pull it off."
:46:14
And he gave us this bit with Sinbad.
:46:17
- And then it was...
- We're not allowed to beat up Sinbad.
:46:21
I remember in his pitch
he used to whistle...
:46:23
this kind of James Bond tune,
and it really helped sell it.
:46:27
Then Seth Engstrom had to figure out
where to put a harpoon gun on this boat.
:46:32
That led to throwing
every kind of contraption...
:46:34
we could throw into the thing.
:46:37
The Chimera has always been
sort of a Swiss Army knife...
:46:40
Sinbad's ship.
:46:41
So we imagined all sorts
of alternate folded weapons and toys...
:46:45
within it that never saw the light of day.
:46:48
Just don't mention the sails to me.
I still twitch.
:46:51
How far were we when we decided
we would re-rig the entire ship?
:46:55
We were nearly done, weren't we?
:46:56
It had a more traditional square sheet...
:46:58
until we decided it didn't look exotic
enough and changed it.
