One of my favorite assignments on Horton Hears a Who was to design the speck. When I first got the assignment I didn’t think there was much to it. Then the director (Steve Martino) went into specifics of how he imagined this speck to look. Whoville wouldn’t be nestled on top of the speck, it would be protected by layers of spindling tendrils that begin solid and gradually transform into ethereal clouds. Then Whoville would be floating in the middle. After several iterations this is what I came up with below. As with most animated features it’s a team effort and eventually my work was handed off to another artist to refine it and apply it to the actual needs of the film.

And they said Steve Carrell and Jim Carrey were the stars of that movie. Well from what I’ve seen the real star was you…you
Is that enough brown nosing cause I’m making myself sick
Seriously though no one ever thinks about the development of detail like this when they go to a movie. I love seeing this kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing.
