David Dozoretz is now completing what we believe will be the very last animatic pre-visualization for Episode I. "It's a tough one," he says, "with a bunch of droids. But it's the last one! It's a good thing, too, since the movie is coming out in a few months." How many have there been in total? "Oh, hundreds and hundreds," he says. "We haven't had time to keep track." His main thought in retrospect about the animatics experience? "Whew." But the animatics team has been as busy as ever, working beyond their original assignments on Episode I. Stay tuned for further animatics team news in coming weeks.
