Nice trailer. Send me a DVD copy and I'll put it in the collection somewhere.

The "world which we see" cut to the Thief's eyes is genius. The "silent comedy" montage goes on a bit long for my taste, but that's your focus in this presentation, I get it ... few too many Calvert shots I think, and an abrupt end. Otherwise good stuff.

Great work!



On paper - It's spelled "Verschoor."



The Brigand crotch hit was never animated (I think this shot was done by the London team for Calvert) ... I'd forgotten about it til you mentioned it. The eye poke was most certainly animated, but cut out. Censorship, bah.

The Zigzag crotch hit is right there ... it's not actually clear what causes it, some kind of chain reaction from One Eye's fist hitting the women, and maybe them hitting Zigzag. This was a Calvert finish of a Williams scene. London team did it as far as I can tell.



Working on the edit right now.

I'm at the hands which lead to the witch.

Did the big Zigzag/One Eye reveal shot with frame by frame color correction - again - and a large image of One Eye which I cobbled together and have matchmoved and frame by frame color corrected.

This shot is always insanely difficult (and this is the third time I've done it) ... it's almost impossible in fact because the shot was refilmed after the workprint, for Princess and the Cobbler (and the Princess WIP) ... and the Princess shot has completely different lighting, a different background behind One Eye, ravens flying by in different places, different camera movement, all kinds of differences, yet I have to combine it with the workprint shot to make it widescreen .... they're not quite the same shot. It can drive you mad ...
