Description
How many drawings in a storyboarded sequence? Well, here's one. Sequence, that is. At the end of Lilo and Stitch we were cataloging and packing up our story drawings. We got to talking about how thick the piles were. Eventually someone suggested we take a picture of the drawings for one sequence. We used the floor of a large open meeting room in the Florida studio, and brought in a scissor lift as a platform for the photographer. Then we spread out the drawings. We were all surprised just how large an area they covered. Bela Temesvary shot the picture. Then he suggested I sit in the middle of them for posterity.Now, if you're still reading, bear in mind that this is not just one sequence from the film, but one VERSION of one sequence. Sharp-eyed observers will note that this is the obsolete chase sequence that featured a 747. That version was dropped after September 11. So this entire thing wasn't used. Nor is this the first version of this sequence - I boarded it at least once before this. So this is probably version 2. I boarded it again from scratch at least one more time after this one was scrapped.
Most people board on Cintiq now, but I still do it on paper. It's nice to have original drawings to sit on at the end.

I love this phrase: "It's nice to have original drawings to sit on at the end."
Seriously, that is amazing. Thank you for sharing it!

This is incredible, and it really makes the animation process more interesting and staggering.
I like the "American Beauty" style of the photo too.

Beachcomber posed like Peter Parker riding on the perfect wave of Blackwing inspiration,
the very moment before he hangs Sistine and reaches for Ohana.

This is madness. Glorious , eye-straining , wrist-crippling madness , and I love it so much! All that's missing is you wearing a straightjacket from all that drawing...!

And here I keep struggling with whether or not to continue working traditionally or purely digital... I think I have my answer.
Also, what I wouldn't give to lay my hands on one of those! You continue to be an inspiration!

Lately in my animation class we are having a hard time figuring out how to work on our first storyboard, and this picture makes me think how long is still our road - but we'll definitely make it!

My god and thats just story boards of a small unused part of the movie... I would be scared to see all the final work set end to end.

WOW!! That's a lot! I immediately recognised the 747 chase scene pictures, and the other deleted scene with Pudge's death, my favourite of the deleted scenes shown.

This serves to show the amazing amount of work that goes into an animated film. One sequence... and it's huge!

Always great to see an artist's process, even if the audience never knows.

Wow that's a lot of art! And that was one sequence?! That was scrapped a total of 3 times?! Wow! I agree a little with the having original drawings instead of digital drawings, but I do more art digitally now though, a little easier for me to sketch many ideas and not waste paper because I scratch the drawings out if I get frustrated.

And yet it would make a great photo spread for Playgirl Magazine..

I totally agree with you. I wish I had the space to continue with paper and tangible media, but the boards I do are always required in digital format and I run out of space sadly enough! Awesome pic, by the way!
