It took several years, but writer-director Jill Culton has finally seen her animated film “Abominable” come to the big screen, and in a big way. The DreamWorks Animation-Pearl Studio pr…
has been kind of a long process for you. You started on it, then you were away, and then you were back with it. How much did the story change from the first to what you finally came up with?I wrote the movie about seven years ago, and the core of the movie was always about taking Everest [the yeti] back home. Then we went through a lot of studio head changes. When the dust kind of settled, they said, “Can you come back and do this movie in 18 months?” Which is very quick for animation.
From the Western perspective, you think of China as full of big cities. And you think of the Great Wall and the Potala Palace, but China’s very diverse. It’s got so many different landscapes. It’s got amazing things like the [Leshan] Buddha, like the Yellow Mountains and the stairways; all those ancient stairways, and no one really knows who carved them. I fell in love with the landscape and I actually started deciding on places that I wanted to have that would be setpieces.
We would hand stuff back and forth constantly. They would help us with line work; they helped us with color keys. We would constantly send stuff back and forth, or talk to them whenever possible. A lot of it was through email. But it really did feel like we had a second unit that was working side by side with us. The people at Pearl embraced this movie so much and they have promoted it everywhere in China. They’re very proud of this movie.
And so, in order to do that, we needed lush detail. And the fur texture of Everest, too, was really important. I have to tell you, two or three years ago, we wouldn’t have been able to get the lush details. There’s a proprietary rendering tool called MoonRay that DreamWorks developed. In kind of in simple terms, it’s a tool that lets you carry more detail in the computer. It allowed us to get those lush details.
