The Frogs are Escaping Early!

Okay, it's been officially announced so I can pass it on:

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG
Limited release NY & LA 25 Nov 2009
Nationwide* release 11 Dec 2009

That's a month earlier than the original schedule, in case you didn't know. It's very smart business-wise but at the same time AAAAAAH. Did I mention I'm busy? :)

It's kind of what would be called a 'scene' in live action or on stage ... a series of shots unified by characters, location, and/or theme. So in Beauty and the Beast, for example, you'd have the West Wing sequence, the Belle Escapes the Castle sequence, the Ballroom sequence, etc. They get numbered for clarity. Each individual shot in animation is called a 'scene.' I don't know where the discrepancy with live action terminology comes from, but there you go.

I'm glad you got the joke ... I never know when a reference I make is actually as universal as I think it is. :)

Huh. That's really interesting. Because after your made mention of "Seq 27," it occurred to me that perhaps I wasn't having my characters think and refer to their assignments in a way that wasn't correct to actual animators...and when I checked further on another website (http://afilmla.blogspot.com/search/label/Pinocchio) and looked more closely at the way that these drafts were labeled, I found that I was right. Thanks so much for the info! :D
