Also, the pencil tests are facinating. I take it that they were shot directly on PAL video?
Tonight and tomorrow, I'm going to be busy with finishing up some work (college midterms, yay) but I'll have a lot of free time for about a week or two afterwards. I'll get Animating Art and I Drew Roger Rabbit cleaned up and reconstructed. I'll also copy the two docs on RR on Disney's DVD, as well as the trailer.
Basically here's an outline of what I'm putting in the intro:
- Progression over the years
- Visual comparisons (pencil tests, storyboards, finished Williams photography, Calvert inked/painted Williams pencils, brand new animation based on storyboards, totally original sequences, edit differences)
- Audio comparisons (workprint vs. Princess vs. Arabian Knight vs. Calvert workprint, music choices)
- Stuff on the restoration
I'm writing out a script for the narration and I'll post it here before recording it.
However, I'm making it as a companion to The Thief Who Never Gave Up. This way, there's no redundancy and the intro simply puts the Recobbled Cut into perspective.
