Talk:The Ballad of Nessie

Production
I notice that there is othing mentioned about production. If such a section shows up somewhere in the future, this could perhaps be of interest:

"The Ballad of Nessie's roots can actually be traced to a student film that Stevie Wermers-Skelton did back in 1994 while she was still at CalArts. Plus we had a very specific look in mind for 'The Ballad of Nessie,' " Stevie explained. "We wanted this short to look timeless, like it was something that the animation department had produced back in the 1940s & 1950s. Which is why our art director Andy Harkness carefully studied Disney films like 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' & 'Johnny Appleseed' and shorts like 'Pigs is Pigs.' So that he'd be able to replicate that timeless stylization that Disney animation had back then." Link: "The Ballad of Nessie" : Why it took Disney such a long, long time to produce this short

And: "The style is meant to be flat. The character animation was traditionally done on paper as well as the cleanup. The effects were done using Toon Boom and were drawn on Cintiq’s the same way we did all of the effects on The Princess and the Frog. All ink and paint and comp was done in Toon Boom as well. I even used maya (3d) on a couple of shots but you would never know it by the way it was treated in Toon Boom. I believe Joe Mildenberger (2d efx) used After Effects with Toon Boom for one of the sequences with art direction based of Lorelay Bove’s work."
