I
posted this earlier, but some are having trouble seeing it so I'm
posting from the original source. I think if we were to remake the
video today than this would be a great and timely image to include. I'm
still trying to "figure" it out, but it's an ominous gut grabber for
sure.
I feel at this point we've seen everything that is going to be in this book. I'm good. Good luck Joe....

The
design by Young Gi Yoon for the Monster City in the video. A city that
is eating the planet". A majority of the concepts for images that went
into the video were brainstormed by the video's director, Kevin Altieri.
But I was able to get a number of my concepts into it, including this
one.
This
film... This film is one of the most powerful and beautifully made
animated fantasy films of all time. It's an epic fantasy movie easily on
par with with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Produced,
written, designed and directed by animation master, Hayao Miyazaki,
Princess Mononoke is a fully adult story of an ancient world undergoing
brutal changes as Man comes into the use of iron and technology and
begins to exterminate the ancient animal gods of the forest. It's heart
breaking, challenging and gorgeous and it deals with many of the same
issues that Do the Evolution profiled. If you have a chance to catch it
on the big screen on the 17th and 18th, go see it. It's a life changing
experience.
While I looove me some Miyazaki, this is a bit over the top. While the animation for "Do the Evolution" is awesome (hence the existence of this thread), to hint at is being on par with Miyazaki's work is a bit like comparing my vocal skills to Eddie's. I mean sure...we sing the same words and whatnot right? Maybe Pearson will find some Mononoke cels under his bed next.
You could also watch the Miyazaki film where the raccoons can turn their scrotums into things...can't recall the name though.
Joe Pearson Thanks
for posting this Jed. I was told by the publisher that they were going
to miss the July SDCC deadline I was pushing for because their
distributor Penguin/Random House wanted a wider Fall release. Looks like
that's the way it is going.
All
right everyone, here's the latest update on the publication of "Pearl
Jam: The Art of Do the Evolution". I've been communicating this morning
with the Editor-in-Chief of IDW, the book's publisher and here's what we
e-mailed me...
"There’s no way at all to give a hard date this
far out. I can tell you what I told you before, that the book is being
released in Fall 2020. It may be September, it may be October. We’re
working with Penguin Random House to lock down the best time
to allow their sales teams to do what they to, to ensure it’s placed
properly for holiday sales, and to work up other promotions around it.
That’s 9-10 months away."
So that's the word. September or October of next year. That means we'll
be missing a big release for next year's SDCC, but it does look pretty
definitive that the book will finally get out in 2020.
At this point, you know it's going to change 2 or 3 more times. I suspect sometime around mid 2024 is when this will see the light of day. I think that this is currently my longest open Amazon order. :(

Other promotions? Wonder what that will entail.

I'm
sharing some footage of the Sea Shepard Society's heroic efforts to
stop the savage annual Japanese slaughter of whales in the Antarctic
Ocean. They are working to slow down and stop many of the terrible
actions that we documented in the Do the Evolution video. They have been
fighting for 40 years to slow the relentless "evolution" of our species
towards planetary extinction and deserve any support you can give them.
Best wishes
in the New Year to everyone in the Group. May it be a year of
friendship, revelation, success, joy and compassion for us all and
Mother Earth.
Here's
Jim Mitchell's model sheet for the "harpooned whale" scene in the
video. Kevin Altieri and I wanted this scene in Evolution as the
slaughter of these intelligent and magnificent ocean mammals is a
particularly evil act on Man's part. This winter illegal Japanese
"research" ships churned through the pristine waters of the Antarctic,
slaughtering whales by the hundreds.
After decades of massive
international protests and confrontational actions by the heroes of The
Sea Shepard Society, Japan is now going to restrict this loathsome
practice to just its "territorial" waters and "only" butcher whales
caught within 200 miles of its shores.

consider writing protest letters, signing petitions and joining in
anti-whaling movements and campaigns. Here's a link to a group dedicated
to stopping the annual brutal slaughter of dolphins in Taiji, Japan.

This is an interesting short review of "Do the Evolution".

Here's a viewer reaction video of the Do the Evolution video, by someone who is clearly an EFX animator.

Here's a cell set-up of our jolly Cro-Magnon's having a bit of a laugh. And one of the animation pencil drawings of the foreground Magnon.
