Got super lucky helping out illustrating the end credits for Pixar’s Luca !

more unused Dingle Berries sketches

Some storyboard panels from a Robinson Crusoe feature I worked on circa 2013

Every.

Single.

Time.

Allright Luca fandom, it’s time for the history behind this now famous panel & why it’s out-of -picture. Because I’ve seen wild theories on here, as there should be, that’s why I love Tumblr.

Here’s Mckenna Harris’ caring redraw:

Here’s my original from a couple versions earlier, notice how I only did a goofy reaction shot, and how she went full on HUG, of all story artists on the film, she loved these boys the most, and it shows!

These were part of a longer bit where we had plenty of shots, them speeding down those terraces towards town, exchanging dialogue. -But the dialogue kinda stopped the flow of the energy we had started at the tower. 

-Also it’s dramatically more interesting to see humans in town react to sea monsters on a bicycle, then just the 2 alone on the terraces  (where there are less spectators)

-A 3rd problem is the line ‘and you thought me how to’; it’s one-the-nose and stating the obvious. We were shown over & over throughout the movie how Alberto gave Luca a push. No need to ram it in there. As always: Show, Don’t Tell.

-Another pro to the cut is that any Alberto/Luca love budget saved in the rest of the race could be spent in Parting Ways, at the train station. You don’t want the movie to end on the hill; you want to let the sweetness all out at the end, because it’ll feel all the more earned.

So on the cutting floor it went. ✂️
