WILLEM DAFOE AND WES ANDERSON ON THE ANIMATIC
Since [The Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes has] extensively used animatics to prepare his scenes. (He describes it as “a storyboard cartoon version of the scenes,” and then adds, “We just call it the cartoon.”) At first, these were meant primarily for his production designer, and his cinematographer. Over the years, some actors asked to see them as well. “It started with Willem Dafoe,” Anderson says. “He started telling the other actors, ‘Watch this thing! This is what he actually wants you to do.’”
