1:01:03
...because he saw something in you...
1:01:05
that just isn't...
1:01:07
That's Rodolphe's animation here.
1:01:10
She doesn't have to move by walking.
1:01:12
I always get reminded
that Eris is powerful and god-like.
1:01:17
We're not afraid of
destroying our set multiple times.
1:01:20
We went from the ocean of sand
to a little island...
1:01:23
and now we're down to just a runway here
for Sinbad.
1:01:26
And by the end of the scene
even that has disappeared.
1:01:29
We're simplifying and throwing away
throughout the sequence.
1:01:32
It was fun trying to
talk the crew through that.
1:01:34
"No, there's only a bit of it left now."
1:01:36
We'll break up more of it later.
1:01:39
She asks one question here
but for a very long time...
1:01:42
it was a series of questions.
1:01:44
And rather than a runway to the Book
it was steps.
1:01:47
Sinbad was allowed to advance a step
for every question she asked.
1:01:50
And while it was successful
in terms of telling the story...
1:01:54
it not only took a lot of time, it turned
Eris into Barbara Walters or something.
1:01:58
She was suddenly a game show host.
1:02:01
So we simplified it.
One simple question now...
1:02:04
and that seals his fate.
1:02:05
I think we made the right decision.
It gets right to the point of it.
1:02:08
And in the phrasing,
that one simple question ends up echoing...
1:02:13
Marina's very first question of Sinbad
when she first meets him.
1:02:16
"Are you a thief or a hero?"
1:02:19
You're either a thief, or a hero.
1:02:23
So here's my question, Sinbad.
If you don't get the Book...
1:02:27
When Eris succeeds,
and I think moments like this...
1:02:32
she's so gentle. We've experimented with
her shouting at Sinbad...
1:02:36
and saying, "Don't interrupt me" and things
in previous versions.
1:02:40
The more we tried that
the less powerful she became.
1:02:42
So with Michelle's performance...
1:02:44
her most dramatic moments are sometimes
those that are the most casual.
1:02:47
It makes her more powerful.
1:02:51
Sinbad doesn't know the right answer here.
1:02:53
All he knows is who he wants to be,
he doesn't know the truth.
1:02:56
So the platform breaks
because at this moment he really is lying.
