thinking about how much more sinister zootopia wouldve been if theyd rolled with that idea of making the predators wear shock collars so they couldn’t experience emotions
i got a few questions abt this so i’m just going to like.. answer them here for everyone who is unawares.
the original plot/concept for zootopia involved predators having to wear shock collars (called ‘tame collars’) once they came of age that administered shocks if the predator experienced any strong emotion. the prey believed these collars were necessary to prevent predators becoming violent. it shows up a fair bit in the concept art
in the original story nick was going to be the protagonist and he ran a business (theme park-esque i think?) where he would illegally allow predators to remove their collars. it seems (?) like they got fairly far along before they scrapped it. here are some deleted scenes
this was a really intense concept. it rlly makes you wonder what the movie would’ve ended up being like had they continued down this route
Perfect use of the Golden Spiral in composition. Everything causes your eye to flow right to the main characters. It starts with the street sign, moving to the giraffe necks, the curve of the polar bear’s back, the cheeks of the cheetah, straight to the focal point. Even in a busy, complex scene, you can easily lead the eye to what you want it to rest on.
Co-worker and I were LITERALLY talking about this earlier and how it’s really well composed and that it seemed to follow the golden spiral. And bam guess what, it does! Well done poster designer.
