Hoppers Shark Ride
Shark ride, R5 final pass

A shark-ride activation for Pixar's Hoppers, built through five revisions in a single January.

Fast

R1 to R5 inside four weeks. R1 names its frames descriptively; from R2 they're numbered camera sets, which is what happens when a design stops being explored and starts being resolved.

Around the cast

The build sits around Pixar's supplied characters — Diane the shark, King George, Tom the lizard, Mabel the beaver — so the design job is staging, not invention.

The passes before

R3 and R4 are worth keeping visible. They show how much moved in the last two weeks.
