Featurette - notes

The first version Jon was given was far from the original film. A lot more violence, no music, King Louis wasnt in it.
The book was filmed by holes drilled into the table.
They shot some scenes in suits (motion capture) so they can imagine and picture the scene and film.
Blue scenes are used.
They used pannels of LED to see where the light is.
They alter characters poses or other objects. they change and alter the composition.
Puppets used to make the performer feel as if it real.
Eyeline props - more real emotion
Changed the renderings of the characters to match the actor's emotions or movements.
Able to change the weather to affect the mood and scene.
Changed the male role of the snake in the original to a female. Much more seductive and reinventive.
104 piece orchestra for the music in the film. Jon wanted the classic orchestral sound so it has the timeless Disney feel. Involved is also cultural instruments.
Richard Sherman (the original songwriter) came in and changed some lyrics in the songs so it would fit in with some changed characters. e.g. King Louis
