Disney plus over zoom5/18/2023 They watch the film and they give us their thoughts. We screen our movie seven or eight times and we bring in directors who have a fresh perspective because we’re all way too close to it. There’s what we call the story trust, which are the directors in-house who get to come in and watch our movies at major milestones. How does it work? What was that relationship like when it came to crafting Encanto?Ĭlark Spencer: There’s sort of two pieces of the brain trust. UA: Talk to me about the “brain trust.” We’ve seen Disney employ it in Raya and the Last Dragon, and in Mulan as well. Can we just touch base for five minutes? Can we jump in a room for five minutes to connect? And so we had to just put a little more effort in trying to create that space where people are able to connect with one another all day.Īdvertisement UA: It also makes it a lot harder to shoot a documentary about how you made this movie. ![]() ![]() But we found other ways to collaborate and making sure that we’re just a click away. Of course, we missed that spontaneity of running into each other in the hallways while walking between meetings. How can we change? How can we adapt our process so we’re still able to focus on the quality of the images, the quality of the storytelling, and make sure that we don’t lose that attention to detail? But also, how do we do that in a Zoom world? So it was just a lot more Zoom meetings. And on the first day we went home, we were on a Zoom call for like a good seven or eight hours talking about story, making sure that we continue to move forward.Īnd when we started making the film and realized we were going to make a lot of it at home, we just really adapted. Yvett Merino: Well, I think the approach and the process didn’t change a whole lot. Animation is such a collaborative effort and did Zooming all the time hamper that in any way? ![]() But that must have been completely different with Encanto and trying to make a movie during a pandemic.
