00:00 - 00:05 | So I gotta a call from Brian, "Hey, Phil, come in, I've got some news!" |
00:05 - 00:07 | "Disney just called and they want us" |
00:07 - 00:10 | I couldn't believe it..Disney.. The Mouse! |
00:11 - 00:16 | We opened the brief to see where in the world we would be making the next great Disney installement.. |
00:17 - 00:21 | .. and they wanted to go to China! |
00:21 - 00:24 | China...! |
00:29 - 00:30 | Wait, there's more.. |
00:31 - 00:34 | ..they wanted to film animals! |
00:37 - 00:38 | ...Wild ones! |
00:41 - 00:47 | Not in a zoo, where you can get in, get nice close ups and have a little cuddle.. but wild! |
00:47 - 00:47 | Cranes, Monkeys..some kinda antelope!? |
00:47 - 00:50 | .. wild pandas! and.. and snow leopards! |
00:50 - 00:56 | .. and they wanted the snow leopard.. |
00:58 - 00:59 | .. to be the main character!! |
00:59 - 01:01 | You should've seen my face.. |
01:04 - 01:06 | A 70 min film, with snow leopards!! |
01:06 - 01:08 | I looked at Brian.. |
01:13 - 01:14 | He was on the floor! |
01:14 - 01:16 | He'd fallen off his chair! |
01:16 - 01:20 | We'd just finished filming with Terramater, and now we're off to China! |
01:21 - 01:27 | a |
01:35 - 01:36 | But we couldn't say no.. |
01:36 - 01:39 | ..Disney came in with suitcases, filled with dosh, and just dropped them at the door. |
01:41 - 01:44 | So I thought "OK! We can do this! we have a unique opportunity.. |
01:44 - 01:47 | .. a chance to change the world..and with Disney on-board, it's a no brainer' |
01:47 - 01:49 | So we took it on.. |
01:50 - 01:53 | ..only to find out we've got one bloody year to film it! |
01:54 - 01:56 | ..a year! |
01:56 - 01:58 | 5 animals, in 4 seasons. |
01:58 - 02:02 | It was hopeless, we'd need a miracle, a divine intervention. |
02:05 - 02:07 | ..and you know what we got.. |
02:10 - 02:11 | Disney got us.. |
02:11 - 02:13 | ..they got us Lu Chuan!! |
