Well, as far as class goes I've chosen to do the first segment of the script. I've also got a few rough sketches for the characters done, but have yet to actually start any serious storyboarding apart from a couple of thumbnails.

After my last post the exploration of Treasure Planet pre-production continued, until I found the portfolio of one Craig Elliot. He had some incredibly nice preproduction backgrounds, like the one above, but you really have to wonder if he thought something like this (left) would ever make it into the movie. LOL. Just had to share that.

I also found 'The Art of Anastasia' in the library. I always loved that movie when I was younger, but recently I haven't been able to stand the singing and the rather poorly developed characters, even though there is some rather nice banter. Looking back however, the production design is excellent. There's one scene in Paris near the end in which all of the backgrounds are painted like Impressionist classics. It's really different.

Maybe I can find a picture... Nope. Not a single one in Paris. It's a shame really. Here's a nice one of the movie's blending of 2D and 3D however, which is absolutely excellent for when it was made.

Bye for now. Julie-Anne
