Fast As A Shark

What scene in Balto did you find to be the most challenging to work on?

KarlamonHere is Simon's reply:

"That's really hard to remember now. There was stuff that was surprisingly easier than we had expected - all the snow in the movie was done with an early cg particle animation system, and turned out far better than we had dared to hope.

The principle challenge was delivering a sufficiently lush-looking movie for the budget. We calculated that we could only have a limited amount of visual effects work in the picture, and so we would have to make hard choices between footprints or shadows, for instance. We couldn't afford to do both in most shots. We spent a lot of time figuring out what we could get away with leaving out."
