Cloudy DVD Extras

Did you know: If pieces of celery and asparagus are large enough they will indeed spark when wielded as dueling weapons. Now you know!

If you saw Cloudy in theaters and thought that the flint-mayor fight played a bit ‘disjointed’ please watch the full version of the sequence on the extras portion of the dvd. It was trimmed (see: butchered) at the last minute much to the dismay of pretty much everyone including the directors.

Anyway it’s awesome and the sequence team (Alan Rogers, Ben Su, Chad Sellers, Claudio DeOliviera, Zach Torok, Robert Domingo, Kenn McDonald, Joel Reid, Daryl Sawchuck, Keith Smith, David Stodolny, and Jeremy Bernstein) worked really hard on it. It is hilarious, action packed, and super-well animated, go check it out!

Heres a pic that dates way back. This is an screengrab from a very very early Surf’s Up test, and here’s some backstory: The way development works at SPA is a small group of artists work on ‘sizzle pieces’ long before a show gets a greenlight (I’m talking years and years before). These artists do everything from design and modeling through animation and lighting. Obviously this character design became a lot more refined later in the hands of the official character designer. I only saw this Surf’s Up test once but it was awesome, filled with sweet moves that really got you pumped up. Sometimes the movie changes dramatically from the sizzle to the final product, and its great to see the evolution. Unfortunately they don’t often see the light of day outside the studio. At one point a test for Cloudy had a monkey in a helmet driving a truck shaped like a taco towards the spaghetti twister. Neat!

It goes a long way for me when sups/directors do nice stuff for their team. Back on Open Season Co-director Roger Allers hand-wrote christmas cards for about 70 animators, each with a personal message. This was even in the middle of crunch so i have no idea where he found the energy, but it was really really awesome of him.

here’s mine

Now it lives in my ‘lil animation scrapbook~
