I work with the guys in the art department on designing sets and characters, taking designs to clay sculpts, and then into the computer. For a sequence such as the sharks, I’d do a full-color script that describes color and lighting, and work out mood and ideas. Once the idea is approved by the director, I’ll go in and pick a few key shots. I love working in different mediums, especially gouache, but it’s just faster for me to work in chalk pastels.

The color and lighting scheme begins with Ralph’s pastels. There's a huge difference between pastels on paper and a glowing computer screen, so I’ll first take Ralph’s art and get it ready for 3-D by scanning it into the computer and working on it in 2-D, color correcting if needed, maybe adding some more color. I direct the lighting when the 2-D art goes into 3-D. A big part of this is making sure that the visual style we have designed is consistent throughout the film.
