Troll Story #2

More from the Troll Story archives 








Troll Story #1

Troll Story was a film that I loved. I loved the style, the ambition, the freedom to explore- it was a dream project. Then it got itself cancelled, mainly because of the poor performance of the studios previous film. Here's a smattering of samples from the show that never was.









Fantastic Mr Fox

Every commercial artist can expect to get notes- it goes with the territory. Sometimes the direction can be opaque and make little apparent sense, sometimes the notes are an epiphany, revealing not only how a scene should play, but often the tone of the whole movie.  But regardless of whether you agree 100% with them or not, your job is to help someone else achieve their artistic vision, and in the process hopefully learn something. I thought it would be fun to post a section of boards I submitted on Fantastic Mr Fox that Wes reviewed and wrote his notes over, plus the revised version.
