- 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:23,179
- I think the thing that I find the most
- moving about the film is that in this
- 2
- 00:00:23,179 --> 00:00:26,649
- world of animals were animals are so
- different from one another as things are
- 3
- 00:00:26,649 --> 00:00:29,988
- comments when they find that connection
- where they find ok we're not so
- 4
- 00:00:29,989 --> 00:00:32,549
- different for me you may look different
- than me
- 5
- 00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:36,140
- we may have been brought up differently
- but in the end we all care about the
- 6
- 00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:41,268
- same things and we we all deserve the
- respect that we want from each other we
- 7
- 00:00:41,268 --> 00:00:46,789
- all deserve to be happy in our lives we
- deserve love you deserve a quality and
- 8
- 00:00:46,789 --> 00:00:50,789
- that's why I think these movies could be
- so powerful because they are modern
- 9
- 00:00:50,789 --> 00:00:55,480
- labels were able to talk about things
- are very very difficult and we're able
- 10
- 00:00:55,479 --> 00:01:00,429
- to bring I think it's a conversation
- things are awkward to talk about but
- 11
- 00:01:00,429 --> 00:01:03,429
- that's that's that's what the film is
- about
- 12

- been on this project for four and a half

- 550 people working on this film at any
- 14
- 00:01:22,069 --> 00:01:26,509

- 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,490
- then Jersey Trinidad and Jim Reardon our
- heads of story and those guys work with
- 19
- 00:01:44,489 --> 00:01:50,189
- us to craft the story and make sure that
- were staying on track and finally Clark
- 20
- 00:01:50,189 --> 00:01:54,929
- Spencer who is a longtime friend of mine
- and my producer on several films and
- 21
- 00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:58,290
- Clark is a great producer because there
- can be chaos and health fire all around
- 22
- 00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:08,270
- New York are canceled somehow make it
- seem ok the world was it different

- animated feature is amazing
- 24
- 00:02:22,969 --> 00:02:27,650
- all mammals city seemed like the perfect
- it's the perfect cities like nothing
- 25
- 00:02:27,650 --> 00:02:32,250
- could be better on our stories about to
- these animals are rabbit and fox that
- 26
- 00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:35,340
- come together across the animal divide
- and have this amazing adventure
- 27
- 00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:38,340
- throughout the city
- 28
- 00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:55,359
- utopia when Byron and I shared with each
- other our love of the type of Disney
- 29
- 00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,500
- movie Disney animated film where the
- animals and they're walking upright
- 30
- 00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:06,349
- wearing clothes Byron has always loved
- animal movies I think one of the
- 31
- 00:03:06,349 --> 00:03:12,799
- earliest ones he talked about a lot as
- robin hood is just so charming animals
- 32
- 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,189
- in the scales of them are all different
- and there are wearing clothes and I'd
- 33
- 00:03:17,189 --> 00:03:21,819
- love that kind of world and I thought
- you know we have not made one of those
- 34
- 00:03:21,819 --> 00:03:29,319
- kind of movies you know in a long time
- so before you delve into the story
- 35
- 00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:33,549
- headline is in the team's off to do
- research in this
- 36
- 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,570
- we are in the animation research library
- which has millions of pieces of artwork
- 37
- 00:03:39,569 --> 00:03:43,560
- from all of our animated films all the
- way back to Snow White and the Seven
- 38
- 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:50,840
- Dwarfs which was the first animated
- feature that vaulted this is the core of
- 39
- 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:57,020
- the Disney legacy this is the source
- from which everything else brings the
- 40
- 00:03:57,020 --> 00:04:02,560
- source of inspiration for even
- television animation and various other
- 41
- 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,879
- animation productions you could walk in
- in any given evolved on any given day
- 42
- 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:13,310
- for any given project and open up a box
- and be surprised so 11 are coming here
- 43
- 00:04:13,310 --> 00:04:20,430
- Fox said that every day is like
- Christmas has got a box they want to see
- 44
- 00:04:20,430 --> 00:04:24,280
- so what you have here we go right
- 45
- 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,140
- amazing to see this in person because
- i've seen this I grew up on this movie
- 46
- 00:04:29,139 --> 00:04:33,740
- she told me i think is here in part
- because of this film and it really felt
- 47
- 00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:36,280
- like if we were gonna do this we have to
- get the research right we have to make
- 48
- 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,009
- sure we know what we're talking about
- just like these guys do you like they
- 49
- 00:04:39,009 --> 00:04:42,899
- brought in real animals for Bambi to
- study and since you know if you know
- 50
- 00:04:42,899 --> 00:04:46,649
- this so then you can go to the next
- level and really caricature it and bring
- 51
- 00:04:46,649 --> 00:04:49,870
- it to life and make it something that's
- beyond reality
- 52
- 00:04:51,610 --> 00:04:58,000
- really believe that the best stories
- come from real research and we've
- 53
- 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,069
- already been on a research trip to New
- York and Las Vegas and Florida to animal
- 54
- 00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:06,289
- kingdom but actually get to go to Africa
- and see these animals that were
- 55
- 00:05:06,288 --> 00:05:09,288
- portrayed in the movie in the wild
- 56
- 00:05:12,540 --> 00:05:21,800
- we are in Kenya holds utopia leadership
- team here to do research to make the
- 57
- 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,120
- movie better and more immersive and I
- couldn't be more excited to be here
- 58
- 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,850
- information we did in the feelings that
- we get news research research trip will
- 59
- 00:05:30,850 --> 00:05:40,090
- be felt throughout the film
- representative Department is looking for
- 60
- 00:05:40,089 --> 00:05:41,589
- something different
- 61
- 00:05:41,589 --> 00:05:48,560
- the color palette of the soil to the
- grass to the trees to the phone
- 62
- 00:05:52,509 --> 00:05:56,810
- looking at looking at how the light is
- playing with with something this big
- 63
- 00:05:56,810 --> 00:06:01,439
- scale the mountain is from the next
- valley from the planes that are in front
- 64
- 00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:03,180
- of us
- 65
- 00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:08,180
- the cloud formations the cloud shadows
- moving across the landscape there's so
- 66
- 00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:12,139
- much to see here it's it's pretty
- amazing
- 67
- 00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:18,310
- looked at and you see you know a place
- for all the animal all animals trails
- 68
- 00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:21,370
- come together to cross the river and
- then they all spread out again and
- 69
- 00:06:21,370 --> 00:06:24,620
- there's this really rich red earth is
- that's really beautiful so we're going
- 70
- 00:06:24,620 --> 00:06:28,649
- to imitate kind of like that feeling of
- the animal trails leading to a water
- 71
- 00:06:40,589 --> 00:06:43,968
- they all gather
- 72
- 00:06:43,968 --> 00:06:48,988
- hours so different from every animal
- specially elephants here behind us like
- 73
- 00:06:48,988 --> 00:06:56,428
- summer dark some really red summer grade
- we talked a lot about the babies they're
- 74
- 00:06:56,428 --> 00:07:00,658
- so many little children animals around
- inside then it can really change the
- 75
- 00:07:00,658 --> 00:07:04,838
- landscape of our movies thinking about
- how many you baby animals to bring in
- 76
- 00:07:04,838 --> 00:07:07,360
- there
- 77
- 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:15,538
- designed I don't think actually made the
- most ships doing when you get back
- 78
- 00:07:15,538 --> 00:07:19,128
- there's a lot of change we can do
- 79
- 00:07:19,129 --> 00:07:25,810
- perfect at some point you there is no
- transition where you went from trying to
- 80
- 00:07:25,810 --> 00:07:30,668
- like I'm here to work and then I really
- taking everything in and you're in a
- 81
- 00:07:30,668 --> 00:07:34,899
- weird way by not looking for what the
- work equivalents are and just sort of
- 82
- 00:07:34,899 --> 00:07:39,288
- experiencing it I think for a lot of us
- that's where you got the most
- 83
- 00:07:39,288 --> 00:07:42,288
- interesting nuggets that you needed for
- the movie
- 84
- 00:07:43,779 --> 00:07:48,189
- you wonder why we do these readership so
- why disney spent so much time in
- 85
- 00:07:48,189 --> 00:07:51,829
- research but it's this stuff that you
- can't really put your finger on like you
- 86
- 00:07:51,829 --> 00:07:55,439
- would never know about any of this stuff
- before you went but once you get there
- 87
- 00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:58,689
- and you experience this stuff then it
- kind of works its way into your system
- 88
- 00:07:58,689 --> 00:08:03,589
- to bring it back with you and and then
- people communicating with the show can
- 89
- 00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:07,679
- then take their their work to the next
- level and that's that's been amazing
- 90
- 00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:17,560
- when I first came here a little over
- three years ago at the time the movie
- 91
- 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,728
- was an all animal world in the first act
- you're done with the animal world and
- 92
- 00:08:22,728 --> 00:08:26,399
- then you went to this sort of fantasy
- island where the bulk of the movie took
- 93
- 00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:32,370
- place early on during a lot of notes
- saying that first that city is so cool
- 94
- 00:08:32,370 --> 00:08:37,269
- what if we make the whole movie with in
- that city and so I was really really
- 95
- 00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:42,759
- lucky and excited to come in right as
- Bayern was reconsidering what animals
- 96
- 00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:49,720
- City version of this movie can be right
- now the film making is broken into two
- 97
- 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,430
- parts you know that overlap a little bit
- there is development you know where
- 98
- 00:08:54,429 --> 00:08:58,719
- that's kind of planning the story
- writing the script you know beginning
- 99
- 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,120
- storyboarding and then there's
- production you know and that's the
- 100
- 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:10,450
- actual kind of making the movie it's
- interesting because everyone's excited
- 101
- 00:09:10,450 --> 00:09:13,440
- about that idea of you don't know how
- long it's gonna take to take that
- 102
- 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,520
- original idea and flush down into a full
- story at the same time
- 103
- 00:09:18,549 --> 00:09:21,439
- stories happening we have digital
- development and visual development is a
- 104
- 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,079
- team of artists that are really trying
- to look at what is this world gonna look
- 105
- 00:09:25,078 --> 00:09:30,199
- like they have to come in and they build
- those models for the buildings and put
- 106
- 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,100
- the characters in the Raiders committed
- to give us the ability to actual
- 107
- 00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:38,170
- characters in those buildings around to
- create the shapes and then from Regina
- 108
- 00:09:38,169 --> 00:09:41,490
- goes into luck and we actually have a
- team of artists who prefer on the
- 109
- 00:09:41,490 --> 00:09:44,860
- characters the clock on the characters
- are put the look on the actual buildings
- 110
- 00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:47,950
- and then from look at goes into class
- simulations we have to have people
- 111
- 00:09:47,950 --> 00:09:50,080
- thinking about housing
- 112
- 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,230
- move and then we actually start building
- shots we have allowed to use placing a
- 113
- 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:59,899
- camera into the shot shootout and what's
- that Khamis place we're going to
- 114
- 00:09:59,899 --> 00:10:03,959
- animation animations for sexual mood
- those characters around and then finally
- 115
- 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,340
- let him comes in and my team puts that
- pass on that they're actually letting
- 116
- 00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:13,639
- the characters in a way that makes that
- shot come to life things are just
- 117
- 00:10:13,639 --> 00:10:17,419
- cartoons to as the real films are real
- stories and so we start to think about
- 118
- 00:10:17,419 --> 00:10:23,009
- these characters like real human beings
- have a soul and they have a life to them
- 119
- 00:10:23,009 --> 00:10:27,960
- that really makes them make key
- decisions that guides them through the
- 120
- 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:33,590
- story of my name is Cory Loftis in
- Armley character design supervisor my
- 121
- 00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:37,190
- favorite characters and utopia
- definitely are two main characters neck
- 122
- 00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:40,620
- and arms they're my favorites not only
- just because they're fantastic
- 123
- 00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:45,490
- characters but because they were the
- most challenging and they need to go on
- 124
- 00:10:45,490 --> 00:10:49,480
- through all of these different emotions
- because we really want them to feel like
- 125
- 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:55,200
- real handles and nod animals that we
- forced human characteristics to
- 126
- 00:10:56,059 --> 00:11:01,409
- and then at some point the animators
- come on and we work with the designer go
- 127
- 00:11:01,409 --> 00:11:05,029
- back and forth what would work good
- friend nation and modeling says what
- 128
- 00:11:05,029 --> 00:11:09,279
- would be good for them and and we are
- kind of work together to come up with
- 129
- 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:15,339
- this package which is this character
- these were expressions that are
- 130
- 00:11:15,340 --> 00:11:22,050
- character designer corologis did and
- then I will try to match these as close
- 131
- 00:11:22,049 --> 00:11:27,049
- as possible I would describe it as like
- wish I actors but we actually get to you
- 132
- 00:11:27,049 --> 00:11:31,649
- know sort of crashed the performance we
- don't have to perform it live like an
- 133
- 00:11:31,649 --> 00:11:35,949
- actor does in front of the camera or on
- stage so we really get the time to kind
- 134
- 00:11:35,950 --> 00:11:39,170
- of think about like what's going on
- inside the characters minded and try to
- 135
- 00:11:39,169 --> 00:11:46,019
- find the best way to convene I need your
- audience to believe that this character
- 136
- 00:11:46,019 --> 00:11:53,789
- is breathing breathing and if they're
- just going through the motions if
- 137
- 00:11:53,789 --> 00:12:02,240
- there's just emotion attached to a piece
- of dialogue even even had even if it's
- 138
- 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,850
- somebody who doesn't know anything about
- him usually they see it there's
- 139
- 00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:10,529
- something not quite right and i think
- that's the tricky part is literally have
- 140
- 00:12:10,529 --> 00:12:14,139
- to trick the audience and a scene for
- not seeing the animators here and
- 141
- 00:12:14,139 --> 00:12:22,750
- mammals were divided into two groups
- with sharp teeth and pray with the flat
- 142
- 00:12:22,750 --> 00:12:35,460
- and why weren't we friends vinik as we
- share clothes because predators in this
- 143
- 00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:36,320
- world
- 144
- 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,570
- predator and prey have figured out a way
- to live and coexist in the same city but
- 145
- 00:12:40,570 --> 00:12:45,460
- we're going to find out is that
- coexistence isn't as utopian as you
- 146
- 00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:50,190
- might think there is truly a problem in
- the city and that is the fundamental
- 147
- 00:12:50,190 --> 00:12:54,510
- part of the story that gets to this idea
- of bias about two groups and assume
- 148
- 00:12:54,509 --> 00:12:58,720
- something about somebody else in the
- beginning was this place that that the
- 149
- 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:07,610
- prey kind of the prey animals ran it and
- predator characters were kind of a
- 150
- 00:13:07,610 --> 00:13:11,730
- subservient to the pray without about
- this movie is a movie about instances
- 151
- 00:13:11,730 --> 00:13:15,649
- about predators overcoming their
- instinct but very quickly we started
- 152
- 00:13:15,649 --> 00:13:19,490
- realizing now this is about bias because
- we said those things don't exist anymore
- 153
- 00:13:19,490 --> 00:13:25,049
- for this group once we got talking about
- bias then that really I think for us we
- 154
- 00:13:25,049 --> 00:13:29,419
- will discuss this movie should really
- say something it's a great difficult
- 155
- 00:13:29,419 --> 00:13:33,759
- subject to talk about and and something
- that having an all animal world is great
- 156
- 00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:38,750
- for because it becomes her this 21st
- century they can really talk about bias
- 157
- 00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:43,440
- is difficult human subject and it was
- really one of the things you drew me
- 158
- 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,590
- into one it produces movie was this idea
- I'm talking about bias in a modern way
- 159
- 00:13:48,590 --> 00:13:52,149
- because buy something that is universal
- it exists everywhere around the world
- 160
- 00:13:54,269 --> 00:13:57,269
- opportunity
- 161
- 00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:11,860
- everything we do at animation is in
- service to story every lighting decision
- 162
- 00:14:11,860 --> 00:14:15,769
- you make every emotion that we play out
- on screen is all in service
- 163
- 00:14:15,769 --> 00:14:19,909
- telling a better story and that's what
- makes stories so difficult that's why we
- 164
- 00:14:19,909 --> 00:14:24,189
- spend years developing the script and
- screening and restricting his films
- 165
- 00:14:24,190 --> 00:14:29,010
- because if your story isn't working then
- the most beautiful shots in the world's
- 166
- 00:14:29,009 --> 00:14:32,009
- most beautiful animation will it save
- that film
- 167
- 00:14:34,379 --> 00:14:41,879
- of story manages a team of about 10
- story artists and we work really closely
- 168
- 00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:48,289
- with directors and the writer and we
- basically take the movie from a script
- 169
- 00:14:48,289 --> 00:14:56,789
- words on a page and we mail it out and
- we turn those words individuals this to
- 170
- 00:14:56,789 --> 00:15:07,579
- me is my acting I'm acting on paper by a
- car in this hotel and then you start
- 171
- 00:15:07,580 --> 00:15:14,330
- this traffic ticket i think thats a
- version of its takes I don't know I hope
- 172
- 00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:19,850
- it doesn't actually your storyboard
- artist here it is you have to be
- 173
- 00:15:19,850 --> 00:15:23,550
- comfortable with your work getting
- thrown away all of us
- 174
- 00:15:23,549 --> 00:15:28,479
- boorda storyboard in this movie have
- done literally thousands of drawings it
- 175
- 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,680
- wound up in the garbage because these
- ideas come in and go out of the film is
- 176
- 00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:39,329
- very very quickly and the idea what that
- is to be wrong as quickly as possible so
- 177
- 00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:43,389
- we really try to you know it try out as
- many ideas as we can and then when the
- 178
- 00:15:43,389 --> 00:15:47,909
- right ideas really click in then you'll
- see from screening screening will start
- 179
- 00:15:47,909 --> 00:15:52,679
- to build the rest of them will start to
- build around those key ideas does not be
- 180
- 00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:56,179
- very many but just a few of the kind of
- hold up the structure of the film where
- 181
- 00:15:56,179 --> 00:15:59,689
- you can really like into like okay
- that's your character that's your movie
- 182
- 00:15:59,690 --> 00:16:10,250
- and then everything else build from
- there we make movies like this we we
- 183
- 00:16:11,740 --> 00:16:18,060
- screen them repeatedly as we're making
- them not not like the general audience
- 184
- 00:16:18,059 --> 00:16:24,769
- but 22 ourselves you know to the people
- working at the studio to colleagues to
- 185
- 00:16:24,769 --> 00:16:31,809
- the people up at Pixar the filmmakers
- there and as a way of kind of taking
- 186
- 00:16:31,809 --> 00:16:34,129
- yourself to make sure that we're making
- progress
- 187
- 00:16:34,129 --> 00:16:40,269
- you know with the story screen version
- number five in the movie and that means
- 188
- 00:16:40,269 --> 00:16:44,809
- basically we've already looked at four
- times tomorrow is the first and the way
- 189
- 00:16:44,809 --> 00:16:49,209
- it works for us as those first versions
- are really testing out ideas and learn
- 190
- 00:16:49,210 --> 00:16:52,650
- about the characters and so there's
- pressure to make sure your story is
- 191
- 00:16:52,649 --> 00:16:56,509
- appalling and your characters are
- landing but the real pressure starts
- 192
- 00:16:56,509 --> 00:17:00,009
- tomorrow because that's what we actually
- start to put things into production
- 193
- 00:17:00,009 --> 00:17:04,079
- which means you have to be struck
- cementing those ideas in a way that
- 194
- 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:06,649
- they're not going to change because you
- don't want to push something forward
- 195
- 00:17:06,650 --> 00:17:10,990
- into the hands of the cinematographer
- into the hands of the animators and tell
- 196
- 00:17:10,990 --> 00:17:14,460
- you know for sure it's actually gonna be
- in the movie only eight weeks have
- 197
- 00:17:14,460 --> 00:17:17,779
- returned this movie around which is an
- incredibly short period of time to do it
- 198
- 00:17:17,779 --> 00:17:20,549
- and an immense amount of work each
- screening becomes a little bit more
- 199
- 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:24,649
- nerve-wracking bit more pressure the
- unless weeks to do it screening
- 200
- 00:17:24,650 --> 00:17:28,100
- processes we will screen the rough
- versions of these films are just done
- 201
- 00:17:28,099 --> 00:17:31,849
- with storyboards and it feels like
- you're watching the real film but you
- 202
- 00:17:31,849 --> 00:17:34,929
- know we're just sitting here saying
- thousands of images hand-drawn images go
- 203
- 00:17:34,930 --> 00:17:38,910
- by that tell you how the story is
- progressing and then after that
- 204
- 00:17:38,910 --> 00:17:43,340
- screening anyone in the theater can send
- us notes in terms of how they feel about
- 205
- 00:17:43,339 --> 00:17:47,389
- the military but a smaller core group of
- people about 40 people will come into
- 206
- 00:17:47,390 --> 00:17:51,990
- this run and we will spend three hours
- where people basically talk about what's
- 207
- 00:17:51,990 --> 00:17:53,920
- working and not working
- 208
- 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,159
- tremendous strides in NY
- 209
- 00:17:57,159 --> 00:18:01,340
- casino when we make a film the number
- one thing that's important to me is the
- 210
- 00:18:01,339 --> 00:18:08,348
- heart emotion within the movie and to
- get that true emotion the audience needs
- 211
- 00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:13,819
- to really be engaged in in the journey
- of the main character try
- 212
- 00:18:17,788 --> 00:18:30,079
- every time we screened the film every
- three months or so we actually
- 213
- 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:45,470
- completely reinvented a lot of people
- and around a lot of people really a lot
- 214
- 00:18:45,470 --> 00:18:48,298
- of people going to look at my ideas and
- they're going to say what's good and bad
- 215
- 00:18:48,298 --> 00:18:51,450
- to listen and then I gotta go back and
- get a rethink and I'm gonna throw out
- 216
- 00:18:51,450 --> 00:18:55,489
- and so that's why it takes a certain
- type of personality to really want to
- 217
- 00:18:55,489 --> 00:18:59,979
- participate in this type of environment
- in this very very collaborative where
- 218
- 00:18:59,979 --> 00:19:02,979
- everybody gets staff
- 219
- 00:19:30,730 --> 00:19:48,308
- collaborative place it's really
- incredible to be here and we really rely
- 220
- 00:19:48,308 --> 00:19:56,798
- on each other to push in these films to
- make them better and better and if
- 221
- 00:19:56,798 --> 00:20:01,139
- racism is right there in front of the
- ideas from day to day when we're not
- 222
- 00:20:01,140 --> 00:20:02,140
- doing our job
- 223
- 00:20:02,140 --> 00:20:10,280
- the challenge was how can you then make
- a light funny charming family film but
- 224
- 00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:18,950
- still have this really deep subject
- matter morning after Martin Luther King
- 225
- 00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:19,690
- were killed
- 226
- 00:20:19,690 --> 00:20:25,220
- I came into the room and said they had a
- game last night by today to the things I
- 227
- 00:20:25,220 --> 00:20:26,990
- think children have to be golden
- 228
- 00:20:26,990 --> 00:20:33,250
- and telling them they continue to be
- involved in finding out what happened I
- 229
- 00:20:33,250 --> 00:20:38,470
- want them to know at least a little bit
- about how it feels to be so we saw this
- 230
- 00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:43,390
- documentary and where teacher had a
- group of kids she was talking about bias
- 231
- 00:20:43,390 --> 00:20:47,800
- blue eyed kids that are you going to
- wear collars gonna put these little tiny
- 232
- 00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:51,519
- little colors aren't you giving a bunch
- of girls were just very quickly it was
- 233
- 00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,960
- very clear wasn't there between these
- two groups you know an hour into this
- 234
- 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,429
- they took a test just in that small
- amount of time I think maybe it's the
- 235
- 00:20:58,429 --> 00:21:01,960
- end of the day a small amount of time
- the kids wearing the colours who were
- 236
- 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,179
- told they were lesser than even though
- literature teacher just made it up in
- 237
- 00:21:05,179 --> 00:21:08,480
- front of them and told them this is just
- a game we're playing the kids who had to
- 238
- 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,890
- wear the colors were told they were less
- than didn't do as well on those tests
- 239
- 00:21:11,890 --> 00:21:16,530
- immediately significantly worse next day
- the teacher said ok you know why I made
- 240
- 00:21:16,529 --> 00:21:18,808
- a mistake it's actually the other way
- around
- 241
- 00:21:18,808 --> 00:21:23,720
- and the kids who have the colors of the
- day before we're very very happy to have
- 242
- 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,029
- this off the kids went away to college
- who had experienced the same thing today
- 243
- 00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:31,980
- before and now they now didn't get to go
- to the playground I didn't get the same
- 244
- 00:21:31,980 --> 00:21:35,690
- snacks and they couldn't do the same
- water breaks and this movie where where
- 245
- 00:21:35,690 --> 00:21:41,308
- predators have been told yet whether
- scholar but it's really for you guys and
- 246
- 00:21:41,308 --> 00:21:45,789
- how that would make them feel was really
- impactful to us into this documentary
- 247
- 00:21:45,789 --> 00:21:51,139
- footage said ok we take these little
- colors off and one of the kids in the
- 248
- 00:21:51,140 --> 00:21:52,730
- documentary
- 249
- 00:21:52,730 --> 00:21:57,048
- rich this caller often just returned to
- break it has it all
- 250
- 00:21:57,048 --> 00:22:01,650
- like it's very clear that something
- you're breathing deeply affected in one
- 251
- 00:22:01,650 --> 00:22:08,220
- day and you're going this is this is
- just pretend these are little kids in
- 252
- 00:22:08,220 --> 00:22:12,690
- this is just a pretend day of bias for
- them how does that affect the entire
- 253
- 00:22:12,690 --> 00:22:17,720
- world who's dealing with bias words
- every day and a teacher can say okay the
- 254
- 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,720
- game's over
- 255
- 00:22:27,349 --> 00:22:33,189
- there's a very fine line to walk and so
- going through we want to make sure that
- 256
- 00:22:33,190 --> 00:22:37,090
- those little things feel very much like
- something that experience right now
- 257
- 00:22:37,089 --> 00:22:42,500
- we've been working with this incredible
- expert unbiased dr Shah keep an
- 258
- 00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:48,798
- important partner to us talking to us
- about bias and what it is and how it
- 259
- 00:22:48,798 --> 00:22:50,668
- exists in today's world
- 260
- 00:22:50,669 --> 00:22:58,590
- his role in creating culture is profound
- culture teaches you who you are where
- 261
- 00:22:58,589 --> 00:23:06,519
- your places in the world and a lot of it
- is implicit so if I go to school and I
- 262
- 00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:11,089
- see all the former presidents of the
- school or principles of the school there
- 263
- 00:23:11,089 --> 00:23:15,970
- are white and they're all male I'm
- learning about power if you're going to
- 264
- 00:23:15,970 --> 00:23:21,038
- create a society that's equitable you
- can't do it without changing culture and
- 265
- 00:23:21,038 --> 00:23:26,999
- so when we ship culture and children
- conceived themselves inside of a story
- 266
- 00:23:26,999 --> 00:23:32,589
- and that they can play all different
- kinds of roles become that degree of
- 267
- 00:23:32,589 --> 00:23:35,069
- flexibility is very important
- 268
- 00:23:35,069 --> 00:23:40,558
- prejudices something of course that
- everybody has prejudice come from it
- 269
- 00:23:40,558 --> 00:23:42,700
- comes from
- 270
- 00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:45,700
- the way that we're taught to be biased
- 271
- 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:51,720
- and those two elements are linked
- together and also linked to the largest
- 272
- 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,980
- system that I think that's one of the
- biggest things for us is it's it's not a
- 273
- 00:23:56,980 --> 00:24:01,779
- specific group specific race it's not
- it's not a gender it's none of those
- 274
- 00:24:01,779 --> 00:24:07,440
- things it's simply it's two groups that
- do not get along and one group that's
- 275
- 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:14,019
- feeling lesser than and sort of how big
- of a problem is that a huge problem how
- 276
- 00:24:14,019 --> 00:24:18,509
- do you overcome its really really
- difficult and so for me thinking about
- 277
- 00:24:18,509 --> 00:24:22,308
- what are we trying to say is it really
- should feel universal
- 278
- 00:24:30,190 --> 00:24:37,690
- anyone in thousands of years but just to
- be exercised today we have the same
- 279
- 00:24:37,690 --> 00:24:40,690
- comment
- 280
- 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:51,619
- are mammals can be together in the
- beginning was this place that the
- 281
- 00:24:51,619 --> 00:24:56,678
- predator characters had to wear these
- callers that would give them a shock if
- 282
- 00:24:56,679 --> 00:25:03,350
- they you know they had like bad thoughts
- sir where they became too emotional and
- 283
- 00:25:03,349 --> 00:25:08,959
- that's kind of what created the peace
- between the predators and prey we kept
- 284
- 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,500
- working with it working with it in all
- of us would look at it and go oh yeah
- 285
- 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:15,839
- this is really clever it's interesting
- and I like that but but there was
- 286
- 00:25:15,839 --> 00:25:20,678
- something I can't just knowing it all of
- us have seemed like you know we're we're
- 287
- 00:25:20,679 --> 00:25:27,350
- showing this beautiful world showing it
- being kind of like unfair from the very
- 288
- 00:25:27,349 --> 00:25:31,219
- beginning it was really kind of tricky
- because we had to we wanted that
- 289
- 00:25:31,220 --> 00:25:36,829
- wonderful in droves utopia wanted an
- optimistic view 10 colors inner world
- 290
- 00:25:36,829 --> 00:25:50,949
- but in a way thats yourself earlier in
- story trust meetings and a lot of people
- 291
- 00:25:50,950 --> 00:25:55,319
- you know you can tell the story without
- the callers I think that callers should
- 292
- 00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:58,769
- be mundane things up after every
- screening it was really the first thing
- 293
- 00:25:58,769 --> 00:26:03,899
- York everybody kept talking about and
- then we would change it in rework it and
- 294
- 00:26:03,898 --> 00:26:08,808
- stuff to soften it to make it and we
- kept kept trying in there was some great
- 295
- 00:26:08,808 --> 00:26:14,428
- moments with that there was a really
- emotional moment with a young man home
- 296
- 00:26:14,429 --> 00:26:21,470
- becomes of age their collar on and in
- the little kids would look at its own
- 297
- 00:26:21,470 --> 00:26:25,139
- gonna grow up but the parents know
- there's a sadness to it
- 298
- 00:26:25,138 --> 00:26:28,138
- of wind they have to put this on their
- young child
- 299
- 00:26:29,140 --> 00:26:44,060
- was always really emotional that scene
- in what we're showing so we felt like we
- 300
- 00:26:44,059 --> 00:26:48,970
- had something going on but it puts us in
- a situation where of course the world is
- 301
- 00:26:48,970 --> 00:26:52,170
- biased against animals like Nicki as
- predators prey animals don't like
- 302
- 00:26:52,170 --> 00:26:58,000
- predators that makes sense but it was
- very obvious no big science seen
- 303
- 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:06,039
- anything nothing we showed it to them
- and the notes that we got back was so
- 304
- 00:27:06,039 --> 00:27:12,509
- profound because it was it was what I
- think all of us were feeling deep inside
- 305
- 00:27:12,509 --> 00:27:18,730
- but we just kept work trying to work
- around it but they give us the cold hard
- 306
- 00:27:18,730 --> 00:27:24,509
- facts and truth about what we're doing
- and they said you know I admire what
- 307
- 00:27:24,509 --> 00:27:26,460
- you're trying to do here
- 308
- 00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:31,680
- you're trying to make us love this world
- of animals and make it seem fun but from
- 309
- 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,330
- the get-go I don't like the idea of
- colors and it's preventing me from
- 310
- 00:27:36,329 --> 00:27:40,929
- enjoying the movie I want to love this
- world
- 311
- 00:27:42,539 --> 00:27:49,710
- because of the colors for the very
- beginning I hate you should rethink
- 312
- 00:27:49,710 --> 00:27:58,850
- things that make us of the world and
- then potentially see it get broken we
- 313
- 00:27:58,849 --> 00:28:04,819
- had two screenings after that and
- getting rid of getting rid of this whole
- 314
- 00:28:04,819 --> 00:28:09,710
- idea of shock collars on the predator
- characters in on making everyone just
- 315
- 00:28:09,710 --> 00:28:16,500
- you know in the city and making you feel
- like a real city you know that we all
- 316
- 00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:26,230
- agree that's great you know that the
- fact that you could be more than a fox
- 317
- 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:30,860
- and we as a group story trust included
- all accepted that this movie was going
- 318
- 00:28:30,859 --> 00:28:35,159
- to have colors Pixar and they talked
- about this idea they said what about
- 319
- 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,140
- using stereotypes instead but you can
- still get the same thing is funny in my
- 320
- 00:28:39,140 --> 00:28:44,090
- son nosed animal stereotypes and so what
- I tell me a bedtime story at Fox Cities
- 321
- 00:28:44,089 --> 00:28:50,009
- 10 the box and just sort of weird way he
- already has the thing that the NICU just
- 322
- 00:28:50,009 --> 00:28:53,009
- going through my seven-year-old is
- already thinking
- 323
- 00:28:53,809 --> 00:28:59,980
- just a little hands I think we can push
- to be a little more minutes it's not the
- 324
- 00:28:59,980 --> 00:29:06,509
- bias is the stereotypes she wants to be
- more than just a funny that's why she's
- 325
- 00:29:06,509 --> 00:29:11,460
- striving to be something that is just
- the bunnies just aren't meant to do that
- 326
- 00:29:11,460 --> 00:29:17,329
- and something like like honey is
- essentially the same text as I know I'm
- 327
- 00:29:17,329 --> 00:29:23,309
- just trying to be real nick is is is
- basically exactly what everybody thinks
- 328
- 00:29:23,309 --> 00:29:27,159
- I am clipper ship the Fox
- 329
- 00:29:28,130 --> 00:29:33,180
- when you do a change like that it
- ripples through dozens even maybe more
- 330
- 00:29:33,180 --> 00:29:37,820
- than like a hundred and seeing so it's a
- huge impact but the thing is that if we
- 331
- 00:29:37,819 --> 00:29:41,980
- know if we make that change then the
- movie itself will be stronger it's it's
- 332
- 00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:45,660
- not something you do lightly because it
- means we have to throw out a lot of
- 333
- 00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:49,560
- great work that's already been done
- about the the benefit of it is that in
- 334
- 00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:53,419
- the end of the movie will as a whole be
- much much stronger in her character will
- 335
- 00:29:53,420 --> 00:30:01,120
- be stronger for it for this particular
- show we understand that there was a lot
- 336
- 00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:05,109
- of animal characters and we wanted to
- get a sense of what the first was gonna
- 337
- 00:30:05,109 --> 00:30:10,129
- be like so we've done a lot of research
- and understanding what what is for like
- 338
- 00:30:10,130 --> 00:30:14,610
- how distinct accountable for his
- character character it's a big challenge
- 339
- 00:30:14,609 --> 00:30:23,529
- in the show where all the characters
- weren't as animals and try to get the
- 340
- 00:30:23,529 --> 00:30:31,099
- first to resemble what they look like in
- real life animals that you get it to
- 341
- 00:30:31,099 --> 00:30:36,490
- have the quality that we offer supposed
- to have when light hits it when I passes
- 342
- 00:30:36,490 --> 00:30:41,870
- through it we're getting into this kind
- of scientific and then pull back from
- 343
- 00:30:41,869 --> 00:30:46,269
- all of that and say how do we how do we
- translate that into something that's
- 344
- 00:30:46,269 --> 00:30:47,410
- artistic
- 345
- 00:30:47,410 --> 00:30:54,040
- and something that we can tune as an
- artist to make it work good what we did
- 346
- 00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:58,970
- get into screenings one thing that
- people realize was how amazing the
- 347
- 00:30:58,970 --> 00:31:01,730
- animal world is that we're trying to
- represent because we have everything
- 348
- 00:31:01,730 --> 00:31:05,680
- from every member you can think of you
- as a criminal offense to my so we have
- 349
- 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,560
- the scale that's this incredible scale
- throughout the city where you have to
- 350
- 00:31:09,559 --> 00:31:12,789
- figure out how these animals are going
- to live together so we did a ton of
- 351
- 00:31:12,789 --> 00:31:16,119
- research and really try to make it feel
- like some place when you look at the
- 352
- 00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:20,069
- screen that you feel like you can step
- in to the screen and really Xperia go
- 353
- 00:31:20,069 --> 00:31:21,039
- there
- 354
- 00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:28,849
- the major challenge the show is creating
- a world that is recognizable humans but
- 355
- 00:31:28,849 --> 00:31:34,250
- animals animals look like animals
- designed it basically does all these
- 356
- 00:31:34,250 --> 00:31:38,450
- different habitats and some of them are
- in the desert some of them are in the
- 357
- 00:31:38,450 --> 00:31:44,049
- tundra downtown is where all the animals
- meet so you have multiscale buildings
- 358
- 00:31:44,049 --> 00:31:48,970
- moderates big tours and transportation
- that can take different browsers but we
- 359
- 00:31:48,970 --> 00:31:54,240
- want to give it an animal twists and so
- there's there's a fine line you can
- 360
- 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,769
- wonder where it doesn't become
- comfortable for the audience anymore and
- 361
- 00:31:58,769 --> 00:32:03,700
- then the other thing that we thought a
- lot about is how do animals like how
- 362
- 00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:06,620
- does analysis across the street with a
- mouse you know how whitewater the
- 363
- 00:32:06,619 --> 00:32:10,769
- systems that you put together so that
- all these animals can Mike especially
- 364
- 00:32:10,769 --> 00:32:14,170
- through downtown walk through downtown
- together our job is to create this
- 365
- 00:32:14,170 --> 00:32:17,170
- universe that people don't question
- 366
- 00:32:18,898 --> 00:32:27,398
- not seen this is different you can
- literally running down the street and
- 367
- 00:32:27,398 --> 00:32:30,928
- all of a sudden you're in the world for
- wrote it so you went from this place
- 368
- 00:32:30,929 --> 00:32:34,339
- that an elephant can walk into the front
- door into a place where a three-inch
- 369
- 00:32:34,338 --> 00:32:39,079
- animal walks into the front door and
- everything has changed and who are you
- 370
- 00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:43,128
- shooting for and who and who are they
- and what prospective are you shooting
- 371
- 00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:47,228
- from again increasing from the fox or
- fishing for right now it's a very
- 372
- 00:32:47,229 --> 00:32:50,989
- different experience and I as much as I
- want as much as possible
- 373
- 00:32:51,979 --> 00:32:55,609
- want you to believe that you're in there
- in that place so the scale definitely
- 374
- 00:32:55,608 --> 00:32:58,829
- going to be a challenge all the way
- through this movie and not just because
- 375
- 00:32:58,829 --> 00:33:02,358
- of the animals but because of the
- University ailing for the animals as
- 376
- 00:33:02,358 --> 00:33:03,899
- well
- 377
- 00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:08,000
- it's not just art for art's sake it's
- trying to bring you an emotion is trying
- 378
- 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,890
- to tell you a story is trying to involve
- you in these characters and these worlds
- 379
- 00:33:11,890 --> 00:33:15,130
- in something that I think no one really
- ever tried before which is trying to
- 380
- 00:33:15,130 --> 00:33:21,100
- create this real metropolis that felt
- populated and genuine and believable
- 381
- 00:33:21,099 --> 00:33:24,559
- something you'd actually step into a
- square really trying to make something
- 382
- 00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:30,190
- lasting and trying to connect with the
- Jeep parts of our souls that make us
- 383
- 00:33:30,190 --> 00:33:33,190
- human beings
- 384
- 00:33:41,339 --> 00:33:48,309
- there was one suit store for all males
- with me and my boy have a plan we have a
- 385
- 00:33:48,309 --> 00:33:52,710
- location and we have a dream all we need
- is a loan to make it happen it's not due
- 386
- 00:33:52,710 --> 00:34:01,400
- to its wild and sons told you we have
- been telling stories through Knicks
- 387
- 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,980
- point of view for the longest time for
- all six screenings and people believe
- 388
- 00:34:05,980 --> 00:34:09,500
- that that's the way to do it this way we
- should be doing it very interesting when
- 389
- 00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:12,980
- you have that is a concept that
- sometimes you continue to try and figure
- 390
- 00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:16,369
- out how to make that work and that's
- what we did screening after screening we
- 391
- 00:34:16,369 --> 00:34:19,849
- would sit within the story trust and
- talk about let's make it work for neck
- 392
- 00:34:19,849 --> 00:34:23,519
- what do we need to do and in each of
- those cases what we did was he kept
- 393
- 00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:27,619
- giving Nick more and more backstory so
- we could really empathize with him as a
- 394
- 00:34:27,619 --> 00:34:36,650
- character and all that did was make the
- movie less and less fun finding that the
- 395
- 00:34:36,650 --> 00:34:40,430
- story computing darker and darker and
- darker and people weren't connecting
- 396
- 00:34:40,429 --> 00:34:45,129
- with the main characters as much as we
- wanted to and so after while we thought
- 397
- 00:34:45,130 --> 00:34:48,789
- he will we really need to try something
- drastic to see if we can shift the movie
- 398
- 00:34:48,789 --> 00:34:51,789
- to make it real and emotionally
- 399
- 00:34:55,878 --> 00:35:03,038
- one which we've talked about a lot of
- which is is Nick really the protagonist
- 400
- 00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:06,809
- of the film is the right character to be
- following and we've had this
- 401
- 00:35:06,809 --> 00:35:11,630
- conversation many times where people say
- I really understand haha pieces which I
- 402
- 00:35:11,630 --> 00:35:16,730
- still think we have an issue with that
- it is what it seems to change the most
- 403
- 00:35:16,730 --> 00:35:20,059
- part occurred to us what if we try to
- tell a story through hobson's eyes
- 404
- 00:35:20,059 --> 00:35:24,160
- instead because one thing that I had
- always been the case was that people
- 405
- 00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:31,500
- always got very quickly so we broke it
- down the movie down to the studs and
- 406
- 00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:38,400
- when we really went back and movie is
- this canopy hobson's too much
- 407
- 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:46,200
- push forward we then went to the version
- or maybe two hops she has she's the main
- 408
- 00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:51,250
- character and the first version without
- her was she truly is not by she doesn't
- 409
- 00:35:51,250 --> 00:35:55,269
- see it and come to see that bias exists
- in the world but they didn't really feel
- 410
- 00:35:55,269 --> 00:35:59,130
- like modern-day muscles know the bias
- exists and they're sort of pushing into
- 411
- 00:35:59,130 --> 00:36:04,769
- well maybe she is dealing with her own
- issues people putting her in a box and
- 412
- 00:36:04,769 --> 00:36:07,820
- then you bring in a little that
- underneath said she has some issues of
- 413
- 00:36:07,820 --> 00:36:12,640
- her own to work for that sort of feeling
- really contemporary and sort of feeling
- 414
- 00:36:12,639 --> 00:36:20,339
- like something that I think many people
- can relate to find is a big mistake and
- 415
- 00:36:20,340 --> 00:36:26,710
- without limit spent now many many weeks
- figuring out how to get rid of the
- 416
- 00:36:26,710 --> 00:36:31,150
- caller is how to make the city feel more
- positive how to make hops the
- 417
- 00:36:31,150 --> 00:36:35,950
- protagonist and that was all massive
- ships are now we have this problem of
- 418
- 00:36:35,949 --> 00:36:39,649
- time the crew has been waiting for us to
- get these story issues worked out
- 419
- 00:36:40,349 --> 00:36:44,880
- needs time to finish the film the
- interesting thing is always at this
- 420
- 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,890
- moment in time as a producer you're
- nervous because irrespective of making a
- 421
- 00:36:48,889 --> 00:36:52,579
- big change in the story at this moment
- in time you always have this pressure
- 422
- 00:36:52,579 --> 00:36:55,699
- trying to make sure it's all going to
- get figured out at the right moment in
- 423
- 00:36:55,699 --> 00:36:59,339
- time and you can't make that happen you
- can't say that people be creative today
- 424
- 00:36:59,340 --> 00:37:03,610
- and solve this problem has to happen in
- an organic way we also have to shepherd
- 425
- 00:37:03,610 --> 00:37:07,070
- it in a way that makes it happen there's
- kind of that balance between those two
- 426
- 00:37:07,070 --> 00:37:11,519
- ideas so I always look at it and feel
- like this is the part of the production
- 427
- 00:37:11,519 --> 00:37:16,289
- has the most stress points because you
- now put stuff into production and you
- 428
- 00:37:16,289 --> 00:37:22,099
- have to keep feeding the team more work
- and more work that I think in
- 429
- 00:37:22,099 --> 00:37:29,219
- transplanting you or say anything about
- how we think you said plenty we've been
- 430
- 00:37:29,219 --> 00:37:32,789
- really focusing on an economic
- relationship over the last couple months
- 431
- 00:37:32,789 --> 00:37:34,570
- is their break-up scene
- 432
- 00:37:34,570 --> 00:37:39,860
- well there is a point in the movie where
- are two main characters and their kin
- 433
- 00:37:39,860 --> 00:37:49,510
- Hobbs an argument she kinda becomes
- aware through Nick that the core of who
- 434
- 00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:53,990
- she is a bit of her that believes that
- predators like Nick are are dangerous
- 435
- 00:37:53,989 --> 00:37:58,349
- and it really hurts Nick that animals
- mammalogy he's come to trust over the
- 436
- 00:37:58,349 --> 00:38:04,639
- last couple days it's gotten very close
- to think that he could possibly be a
- 437
- 00:38:04,639 --> 00:38:11,539
- dangerous bad mammal this assumption she
- makes sports the city destroyed our
- 438
- 00:38:11,539 --> 00:38:18,949
- relationship with Nick it also makes her
- look at herself differently we have
- 439
- 00:38:18,949 --> 00:38:24,169
- worked the scene over and over again and
- we looked at a version of it here in the
- 440
- 00:38:24,170 --> 00:38:24,760
- building
- 441
- 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,810
- entity that instead and it didn't work
- 442
- 00:38:27,809 --> 00:38:33,559
- timing of the plot is forcing things in
- this way to get out to sea
- 443
- 00:38:34,409 --> 00:38:57,558
- we actually wrote the scene as a group
- we got everyone together so that
- 444
- 00:38:57,559 --> 00:39:00,630
- everyone is on the same page that
- everyone understands exactly what the
- 445
- 00:39:00,630 --> 00:39:05,440
- emotional beats have to be the issue
- with this breakup scene is that this is
- 446
- 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,349
- the critical moment in the hearts
- relationship it's also the moment that
- 447
- 00:39:09,349 --> 00:39:14,890
- the film as as a piece to communicate
- with your audiences speak the most
- 448
- 00:39:14,889 --> 00:39:18,568
- clearly in since the movie is about bias
- that's where we have to be the most
- 449
- 00:39:18,568 --> 00:39:24,279
- surgical and precise about what we're
- saying and the big thing that which was
- 450
- 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,250
- so important
- 451
- 00:39:25,250 --> 00:39:28,818
- the character should have to make a
- choice and then she gets up on stage and
- 452
- 00:39:28,818 --> 00:39:32,630
- she has to make a choice looking into I
- do it nigga said to me we're doing do
- 453
- 00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:35,818
- what I think is in my heart right you
- got everyone together so that everyone
- 454
- 00:39:35,818 --> 00:39:38,969
- is on the same page that everyone
- understands exactly what the emotional
- 455
- 00:39:38,969 --> 00:39:42,909
- beings have to be and then from that
- point once we have that landed will get
- 456
- 00:39:42,909 --> 00:39:47,328
- the performance from Jennifer Jason
- these predators may be reverting back to
- 457
- 00:39:47,329 --> 00:39:52,140
- their primitive savage wayz are you
- serious I just stated the facts of the
- 458
- 00:39:52,139 --> 00:39:57,808
- case I mean it's not like a bunny could
- go savage know but a fox could write
- 459
- 00:39:57,809 --> 00:40:05,880
- next stop it you know them well I mean
- you're not that kind of predator and
- 460
- 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,380
- once we get that truly emotional
- performance it feels great everyone go
- 461
- 00:40:09,380 --> 00:40:12,329
- through editorial and then we'll carry
- it forward into
- 462
- 00:40:12,329 --> 00:40:18,509
- the animators and then their job will be
- to really use every thing that they
- 463
- 00:40:18,510 --> 00:40:23,610
- possibly have in their toolbox to make
- that scene feel real and genuine and
- 464
- 00:40:23,610 --> 00:40:29,349
- deep because as fun as the movie ads and
- is much of a random visit is it has this
- 465
- 00:40:29,349 --> 00:40:33,509
- very very deep or about something is
- very serious and very insidious and
- 466
- 00:40:33,510 --> 00:40:45,860
- indeed very very subtle like them now
- after struggling with this breakup scene
- 467
- 00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:50,329
- from months we screened it today this
- new version of it for John last year in
- 468
- 00:40:50,329 --> 00:40:54,989
- the story trust and everyone body into
- this is the right person this is the
- 469
- 00:40:54,989 --> 00:40:59,759
- final piece of the puzzle that makes
- this whole story complete and now we
- 470
- 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,760
- have to do is just take this movie to
- the finish line
- 471
- 00:41:04,690 --> 00:41:10,220
- actually I grew up fairly privileged and
- from a survey middle class white family
- 472
- 00:41:10,219 --> 00:41:14,078
- and you know I grew up in the outskirts
- of philadelphia and stuff and you know
- 473
- 00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:18,000
- my dad was sort of middle income and we
- know I never really wanted for anything
- 474
- 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,179
- in my life you know I'm I'm game and I'm
- married to my husband for 28 years and
- 475
- 00:41:24,179 --> 00:41:28,578
- so I you know the the film isn't
- necessarily about that but i think is I
- 476
- 00:41:28,579 --> 00:41:32,849
- think there's something about the fact
- that everybody wants to feel accepted
- 477
- 00:41:32,849 --> 00:41:38,400
- everyone wants to feel supported for me
- personally you certainly look at the
- 478
- 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,550
- world through a different lens after
- telling a story like this I was think of
- 479
- 00:41:42,550 --> 00:41:46,280
- myself as a pretty open minded person
- even with that thinking about this story
- 480
- 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,400
- and look at your everyday life and what
- can I do better how can i maybe I'm
- 481
- 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,490
- looking at things the wrong way there
- was a really important
- 482
- 00:41:55,900 --> 00:42:01,278
- thinking about how to have this
- conversation is my kids that I'm already
- 483
- 00:42:01,278 --> 00:42:05,179
- starting to have now before the movies
- come out but I think the process of even
- 484
- 00:42:05,179 --> 00:42:09,578
- change how I talk to them about things
- and how I want them to hopefully
- 485
- 00:42:09,579 --> 00:42:17,048
- perceive the world differently so that's
- been pretty huge family look at my
- 486
- 00:42:17,048 --> 00:42:25,099
- little boy very I first and foremost
- want to instill that he should be proud
- 487
- 00:42:25,099 --> 00:42:28,160
- of who is a matter what you know
- 488
- 00:42:29,889 --> 00:42:42,489
- world not be quite so much kinda inner
- strength and inner confidence
- 489
- 00:42:43,289 --> 00:42:51,940
- and and belief do anything this what I
- want until I hope this movie is part of
- 490
- 00:42:51,940 --> 00:42:57,349
- that I'd rather be working on something
- with a message with a good message
- 491
- 00:42:57,349 --> 00:43:03,420
- strong message that I can stand behind
- them put mining you know I'd be proud to
- 492
- 00:43:03,420 --> 00:43:08,889
- put my name in the credits of that kind
- of this year is gone
- 493
- 00:43:08,889 --> 00:43:18,940
- incredibly fast the amount of changes
- we've made to the movie and the amount
- 494
- 00:43:18,940 --> 00:43:27,570
- of production compressed production
- schedule that has happened over the last
- 495
- 00:43:27,570 --> 00:43:33,539
- year is pretty unbelievable we we were
- developing and producing the movie at
- 496
- 00:43:33,539 --> 00:43:37,369
- the same time so it's been a wild ride
- 497
- 00:43:38,329 --> 00:43:42,460
- storytelling is really hard it's it's a
- very difficult thing to do it takes a
- 498
- 00:43:42,460 --> 00:43:48,079
- lot of pieces exactly correctly for you
- to take any audience on any journey and
- 499
- 00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:53,099
- help them buy into it and this more than
- any other has been a very difficult
- 500
- 00:43:53,099 --> 00:43:58,960
- story to tell down dealing with this
- important topic and we needed to be told
- 501
- 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,480
- in a very elegant lighting and need to
- be something that you sort of evolved
- 502
- 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,090
- into there's a responsibility they don't
- have to all be enormous eighty years but
- 503
- 00:44:07,090 --> 00:44:12,600
- there should be something very positive
- optimistic very hopeful for story time
- 504
- 00:44:12,599 --> 00:44:19,250
- that allows kids teenagers adults to
- relate to that story in a way that say
- 505
- 00:44:19,250 --> 00:44:24,400
- that that makes them think about
- something and watch this team over the
- 506
- 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:29,150
- last six months really bring this movie
- to its conclusion it's been a phenomenal
- 507
- 00:44:29,150 --> 00:44:34,960
- thing to actually experience in five
- hundred and fifty people and
- 508
- 00:44:37,929 --> 00:44:42,029
- the time under 250 people who put a lot
- of love and whether doing in the next
- 509
- 00:44:42,030 --> 00:44:47,040
- big sacrifices and just want to know how
- much you care and how much you
- 510
- 00:44:47,039 --> 00:44:49,509
- appreciate that they put into everyday
