BBC Two's "The Making of Balto"

Written by Karlamon :



 

An obscure 22-minute documentary on Balto has recently made it’s way onto YouTube. Produced and aired by UK’s BBC Two, The Making of Balto documents behind the scenes of the movie, with director Simon Wells and some of the Amblimation crew explaining the many different processes used over the three-year production. A must-watch for Balto fans and animation buffs alike!

Oh ok. I think I'll just ask my question in the ask questions section then.

No, the interview with Simon ended months ago. As it is, Karl hasn't finished getting answers from Simon.

Are they still doing the ask Simon Wells thing on here? If they are. I could ask him that?

I would suggest asking AC about this. He seems to know more about the film's production more than anyone else on here. I just know, in the post that I shared, that cels were used.

I don't get it how they mixed it with digital ink and paint and traditional cels when they could of made the whole film by scanning the drawings on the computer and colored it in and stuff. That's what they showed you in this documentary. They never talked about using cels in the film at all.

It's possible that they used computers for some of these effects, but I think the scene with the grizzly bear fight may have contained cels.

At 1:54-1:56 the camera pulls back from lake, revealing a (censored) tree and a hill. If you look at the branches and mountains when the camera is zooming out, you can tell that they're not a single image. 6:21-6:23 would also be an example of where a cel was used.

This short Disney documentary may help you with identifying where cels were likely used:

I wonder if you can tell what parts were digital and what parts were cels. Can anyone tell the difference on this?

If you go and look at one of Acanis's forum topics, you will find that there were some cels used in the film to give it a more 3D look.

Here's one: http://www.animationsource.org/board/post1508457.html#p1508457

Till know I didn't this film was made with digital ink and paint. I always thought it was made the old fashion way by literally using traditional cels and taking pictures of the drawings over and over again. Like older Disney movies before they introduced CAPS. But I know this movie ain't Disney.
