Treasure Planet Scene Assignments

[tealin]

So ... I was watching Treasure Planet today, trying to get back in the Amelia groove (results of which may be posted relatively shortly-ish), and noticed a couple interesting things:

1. I think Crazy Cartoony Animator Guy, who was on the Milo crew in Atlantis and who I suspect also did the scene where Jim is trying to coax Morph towards him when they're escaping the mutiny, also did a scene of Amelia in her office. I hadn't noticed it before but watching with the sound off puts the animation forward. It looked like he'd been told 'Now, you have to really pull back on this one,' but there's something crazy and cartoony just below the surface. I'm probably vastly overestimating my Name That Animator skills. It's the scene with the line 'Mr Arrow, please escort these two neophytes...' and it hooks up with the one before it which I'm almost entirely certain is a Ken Duncan scene so maybe it's just an anomaly, but ... the mouth ...

2. Who animated her when she's getting up after crash-landing on the planet's surface? Because WOW – holy draughtsmanship, Batman. That's the first scene in the movie where you get a downshot of her head (which is what I was looking for) and then when she stands up and brushes her hair back ... SOLID. It could be the cleanup person, but none of her other cleanup looks like that, and I don't think it's Ken Duncan because the mouth shapes were wrong and it's not his flavour of line. It might be live action reference but if it is, it's very well disguised. I wonder if Sergio Pablos did it ... I want to believe ...

I suspect today's icon is going to get a lot more use in the coming months. Just a hunch.

Oh, and in case I forgot to post this back when I found it (or even if I did, it's worth a rewatch)... best dialogue animation ever:

Oh man Sergio Pablos = god. I want to marry this guy.

Also why isn't there a plugin or something for frame-by-frame advance in youtube videos, I can't goddamn look at anything without downloading/converting/whatever, it's making me go insane!!

Don't feel bad about nerding out, at least I can hear someone besides myself geeking out over animation. I remember turning to my mom during a preview of Ratatouille and saying, "Man, whoever is animating the rat is AMAZING, because he moves like an ACTUAL RAT," and she just gave me this look that was like, "I have birthed a crazy person."

Treasure Planet is amazing. Still one of my favorites. :)

I think it's really interesting to read about observations like this. I can usually tell different animator styles only on cheap TV productions. In feature animation, I can barely separate Glen Keane's more lively style from all the other characters (in the movies he worked on), so I'm amazed someone else could recognise which independent scenes were done by which animators. I know you have more experience though, so I'm not too jealous, just amazed.

I really want to see these sketches of yours!
but you lost me with the specific animator stuff... I never even noticed a difference of their styles, but then again I wasnt really looking.
well, anyway...
Awesome, I love treasure planet, just bought it a few days ago!

"You demonstrate a level of ineptitude which borders on the imbucillic, but I mean that in a very kind way."
"Doctor, i'd love to chat, tea, cake the whole shebang, but I've got a ship to launch and you've got you're outfit to buff up."

Hey just thought I'd commnet on your most recent journal, cause I can't get ahold of you on e-mail.

So I'm hopefully going to be phoning my aunt by this saturday, and I can ask her about that house. If anything she'll be able to give me some history on it, or the name and maybe some pictures.

And I was looking in your picasa albums, in you Holmes stuff, and I noticed you have a very humorous, picture of Mycoft.... is that from the Enola Holmes book?? I just finshied reading it, and thought I remember seeing a doodle like the one she does, and lo and behold I found it in your picasa!! haha, it's a good book.
