Which one looks more like Tack? =) Mouth on Tack - Entire shot reanimated and retimed. It changes the whole personality of the shot - he doesn't look forcibly happy and really looks like Tack, with the subtle personality that that entails.
Which one looks more like Nanny? Face on Nanny - Entire shot reanimated.
Here's an invented shot. Tack from another scene is placed on an entirely new background. Outside the window, a shaking, jangling pipe is animated by manipulating and stretching a single drawing of a pipe carefully. This replaces a storyboard of the same thing (which was unnecessarily confusing in the edit), and works really well.
Logo forms out of smoke. Taken from Williams' own handwriting circa 1966.
Also taken from Williams' own handwriting, circa 1980s.
Once ...
Tack sleeps. Pencil test placed carefully on a background. A very very complicated process involving dozens of steps, which was done frame by frame in Photoshop, using a record/replay action batch convert tool.
This sketch of Yumyum's hands (and some birds flying by) from the storyboards now moves, over a moving background, to give the impression that the camera is spinning around 360 degrees as Williams intended. What was once a confusing storyboard is now very clear and entertaining.
A black and white pencil test of the window turns into color to lead into a color closeup of Yumyum. This is halfway between the two. Again, this makes an edit that was confusing before work amazingly well.
That's my goal - to make the edit clear, so that people can just watch the film without being confused by a weird or awkward jump to storyboard or whatever ...
Gonna be a good one ...!
