Producer Janet Healy notes, “Looking back, putting together a brand new CG pipeline in Los Angeles while assembling an entire crew for the movie was rather daunting. We ended up with a remarkable group of people from all types of disciplines—from people with PhDs and computer science degrees to those with fine arts degrees…and sometimes both. There are physicists and artists, and people who understand how light works in a physical world teamed with people who understand lighting and camera movement. Finding ways to have those people work together to their, and our, best advantage was one of the most satisfying things about producing ‘Shark Tale.’”
Working on her first animated feature, producer Allison Lyon Segan observes, “Animation involves an ever-widening collaboration. It starts with a small group of people in a room throwing story ideas around, and it becomes more and more collaborative as it goes from storyboards, to a camera pass, to the animators and so on. Each step morphs into something else and adds to the teamwork. We were very lucky to have people who elevated our game with every step.”
