The director who stood out through the competition
David Soren from Canada was engaged in the creation of film stories before directing two "Madagascar" short films. This film is his feature film debut, and the opportunity to direct this film is actually very accidental. At that time, DreamWorks held a small competition within their production company, asking each of its employees to submit a one-page idea and plan, and the winner would get a chance to direct the film. The night before an internal game, David Soren watched The Fast and the Furious at home. So he decided to submit a story about a racing car that happened to a snail. Sure enough, the story was appreciated by DreamWorks, and David Soren was given the opportunity to direct the film.
In fact, it is not David Soren's idea to shoot this movie. As early as five years ago, he had the idea to shoot a racing story in the world of snails. David Soren said: "Since I moved five years ago, I have seen a lot of snails in the backyard. Plus at that time, my children were very fond of playing with models of racing cars, so I was thinking, yes It's not that you can combine racing movies and snails to make a fun cartoon. I think it's very interesting to choose snails as the protagonist of this movie. Snails, in our hearts, have always been a kind of silly animal, and was a complete failure at speed. However, the snail in my movie gained extraordinary abilities and eventually became his own superhero. I think it's very educational. A loser, through the The constant persistence and hard work of the dream, as well as the belief in oneself, the story of the ultimate achievement of greatness is indeed very exciting. Snails are a very boring animal for human beings. We eat snails, play with them everywhere, watch They crawl slowly. And this movie hopes to tell people not to despise any kind of animal; let alone give up because of their lack of talent." The setting of letting a snail have extreme speed has been approved by many people, because this This setting is not only a "superpower", but also a guide for a "positive attitude". Rogers, the film's producer, said: "We all like the idea, because it's telling children not to give up their dreams, no matter how ridiculous and stupid the dream is to others. As long as you identify it yourself Ideals are worth paying for, then this is what is worth paying for."
Creating Characters with Live Actors
When writing the script, David Soren had a lot of actors in his head, designing characters from their voices, and then having those actors do the voiceovers. This way, everything fits together almost flawlessly. Regarding the actors in my mind, David Soren said: "When I was writing the script, I had Luis Guzman, Snoop Dogg, Michelle Rodriguez in my mind. They are not the protagonists in the movie, but their characters are the most personal and characteristic, and they are easy to remember. At the beginning, I actually didn't have much idea about the details of the movie, it was them The screen image in normal times allowed me to slowly identify these characters, and the characters appeared one after another in my mind. Actually, I didn't start the design of the whole movie from the characters, I started from the story board. But with the general image of the character like this, my process of drawing the storyboard became quite smooth and convenient. At first I didn't give the protagonist the voice of the actor. Because the character of Tebow was all about speed and insisted on My own ideals. For this role, I don't have much idea. Later, the production company brought me Ryan Reynolds, and I found out that he is a very suitable actor for this role. He starred in "Green Lantern" " is actually a story similar to "Speed Snail". And his dubbing in "Crazy Primitives" is indeed impressive. So, I am still very satisfied with his work."
For Ryan Reynolds said of his own job, and his recent dubbing of cartoons: "I got a call from my agent when I was dubbing "Crazy Primitives." I decided to dub the script and the completed clips. Because I think this movie is full of positive content. The style of painting is also very interesting. Moreover, I also think that the snail in the film is very similar to me. ——They are all small and unimportant, but they are always insisting on their ideals. I am very moved by this kind of story. So, just after "Crazy Primitive Man", I came to the crew of "Speed Snail" and gave this Snail dubbed it."
