Director – Rob Marshall
Studio – Disney
Location – London
The Little Mermaid was a marquee project for Proof, as it was one of Disney’s beloved animated classics. We had a great responsibility to collaborate with the Director and creative team to really bring the story to life. As it was an underwater world for a large part of the film, we started from the concept stage all the way through Previs and into close to final level Postvis shots! It was an amazing project where we were able to contribute creatively to find and hit the Director’s overall vision! ...

When I initially got the call from BixPix, they were looking for a new approach for a stop motion animated series that was about to go into production. They wanted to go beyond storyboards to help plan their shoots and asked if we could Previs 32 - 11 minutes episodes, plus 2 - 22 minute specials, over a 13 month period. Coming from an animation background, I was excited to see how we could support that effort! ...

So it’s Friday, March 20th, 2020, studios are shutting down offices, shoots are going on hold and we’ve transitioned to WFH on Proof’s current projects. Monday, March 24th, Ron gets a call from the Blacklist showrunner. They’ve shut down their shoot halfway through an episode… is there any possibility we could ‘animate’ the rest of the episode to close out the season? They loved a comic book look so could we do Previs animation with a comic book/2d render? Oh… and in 6 weeks? With the unknown of a potential global pandemic, what could we say besides ‘Let’s do this!’ ...

Fast films in general are always a wild ride! The franchise is near and dear to Proofers as we’ve worked on them since Fast 3! These Fast shows are always great fun as we’re asked to push the envelope when it comes to the awesome stunts we are asked to work on! ...
