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.
:47:01
- Yeah, to the junk sails.
- Yeah.
:47:03
But I love the way it turned out.
:47:04
I think it gave an exotic quality to the boat.
:47:08
It's beautiful.

Rodolphe Guenoden,
the lead animator of Proteus...
:47:13
storyboarded the first version
of this scene...
:47:15
and came up with this great relationship...
:47:17
where Sinbad and Marina
can't help but debate...
:47:21
and squabble over
how to get out of a place...
:47:23
even where there's a giant 12-ton bird
stomping around looking for them.
:47:27
That's a really fun bit of business
between the two of them.
:47:30
We scaled up our bird
but we didn't scale up his brain much.
:47:33
So he's still got a bird brain.
:47:36
Great. He can pick his teeth
when he's done with us.
:47:38
There was a reanimate.
:47:40
We used to have her be so angry at him
that it was a little off-putting.
:47:44
It looked like she was about
to throw him out to be fed to the birds.
:47:50
She used to start punching him, didn't she?
:47:53
She just started to slug him.
:47:55
Here's a transition.
Those are 2D characters...
:47:57
and as we pass up, now they're 3D.
:47:59
Several shots like that
in which we hand off from drawn...
