TotalFilm Magazine Article and Interview on "Brave"
by Nausicaa » Wed Oct 05, 2011 6:28 pm
The article on Brave is pretty short, but as far as I can tell it hasn't been posted online, so I thought I'd better repost some of the info for those of you who can't get the magazine. I'm not retyping it in full because that would take too long and it might get put up on their site anyway once the next issue is out. The information below is taken from an interview with Production Designer Steve Pilcher and Art Director Tia Kratter-
- They said that "Our film takes place in Scotland with real people, but it does have an element of fantasy. I think the only film that rivals what we're doing is Avatar, in terms of its lushness and epicness."
- The film is set in the "10th Century, so colours were more naturally dyed then. [Tia's] job was to keep those colours down and make them rich and subtle"
- Talking about the clawed foot in the foreground of the still of Merida crouched down with her bow and arrow- "Mordu is the demon bear. He's like Moby Dick on land. You might say he's a loner"
*spoiler marks for those who don't want to learn about the film ahead of release. There's some plot-related stuff in there*
Thoughts? By the way, no new images were released with the article.

Mordu is a loner? So Merida will try and befriend him, right?

True. I am a bona fide Pixar fanatic--but I certainly can't think of a Pixar film that beautiful.

I approve of this statement.

Avatar looks kind of pretty, yes, but there are some of the designs (specially the animals) that I think aren't very good, and that detracts a lot from the whole experience.
Also, looking through past works (specially video games), you can see that a lot of the Avatar designs are previously existing, if they maybe just combined all in a successful way.
