## Production

### Development

#### Origins and Conception

*Dusk And Dawn* as concept date back to 1991, when former Disney animator Phil Nibbelink conceived story about representation of dusk till dawn while still work on *Fievel Goes West* at Amblin Entertainment based animation division Amblimation. After creating bible for franchise of several films, TV series, video games, books, merchandising, hotel chain, and theme parks, Nibbelink later participated in development during early stages of production and took package unsolicited to Universal Pictures where he became 1 of several screenwriters on project.

Alongside writer Ralph Zondag who had written and developed film original story treatments in conjunction with Nibbelink, Nibbelink formulated idea for *Dusk And Dawn*, in which development on project began follow finish production on *Fievel Goes West*. Upon pitch project to Steven Spielberg, Nibbelink call Spielberg say it fit perfect for animated feature, and Nibbelink was attached to direct project, which was set to have epic oriented comedy drama tone with Zondag writing 1 draft for script. In 1991, *Morning Call* report that Spielberg was work on from dusk to dawn original story for Amblimation. *Dusk And Dawn* was to have been tale of clumsy, outlawed dusk, voice by Dan Aykroyd who encounters beautiful dawn, voice by Meg Ryan who act and looks just like him, 2 begin to fall in love against wish of their warring families, much as in William Shakespeare play *Romeo And Juliet*. However, villainous sun goddess has plan to destroy dusk people so that her daughter and other dawn people can finally have peace. Together, dawn and dusk set out to stop sun goddess from hurt dusk people.

In 1992, Spielberg and producer Steve Hickner contacted and offered Geo G, in wake of his success with animated series *Gabriel Garza*, to work on story development and character designs alongside Nico Marlet and Geo happened to be fan of Spielberg since he grew up watch *ET Extra Terrestrial*. He was also interested in producing project through his Double G Productions company and expressing hope company would help launch multimedia franchise if film were successful. For titular characters, Geo select 2 characters coincidentally nickname Blue Boy and Yellow Girl who originally appeared in some draw he had been creating since his college years, he 1 intended to adapt those draw into TV series title *Zone*, but also considered other options such as feature film, children book, comic strip, video games, and even characters for *Gabriel Garza* before idea was retooled into *BJ and Wally*.

During production of *We Back Dinosaur Story*, *Balto*, *Imps Of Nature* and cancelled *Cats* at Amblimation, studio executives felt that project was grow too ambitious and serious for audiences follow test screen, and needed more comedy. In 1993, Universal Feature Animation head Michael Wildshill who was coincidentally directing his own animated adaptation of *Romeo And Juliet* via Multimedia Animation and John Cohen approached Nibbelink with proposition of having film be produced in house at Universal although Amblimation was still involved in project, which Nibbelink realized was basically no brainer, according to him. Wildshill also enlisted fellow animator William Jennings to be director on *Dusk And Dawn*.

In 1994, Universal Feature Animation announced project was being directed by Nibbelink and Jennings with Cohen and Melissa Hester serving as producers while Wildshill would executive produce. In 1995, it had report been title as *Dusk And Dawn* as collab with Universal Feature Animation, Amblin Entertainment and Double G Productions in which Spielberg and Geo would executive produce with Wildshill. In addition, Aykroyd, Ryan and Michelle Pfeiffer had been confirm to voice dusk Louie, dawn Mina and villainess Ligera, while Steve Martin was in talk for role of sun midget Al. George Hearn was also cast as Gloom, elderly dusk who had raised his dusk people and kept them in refugee.

Follow Multimedia merger with Universal then parent company MCA in 1996, it became apparent that *Dusk And Dawn* was not along enough in production to be release in 1999 as planned. At this time, many of Amblimation animators and artists went on to join DreamWorks Animation, by Spielberg, leaving Universal to have full control on film production. Cohen approached Nibbelink, and informed him of need to finish film on time for it release as crucial promo deals with Burger King and other companies were already established and depended upon meet that release date. Shortly after Amblimation closure in 1997, Wildshill, Cohen and Jennings pass on project due to creative difficulties, put it in turn around while *Paint World* assumed summer 1999 release date originally schedule for *Dusk*.

#### Move to DreamWorks and Changes

After fail attempt to revive project at other studios such as 20 Century Fox, Nibbelink eventually brought *Dusk And Dawn* to DreamWorks in 1997 after having been approached by studio founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, who knew him during his time at Disney and became interested in pick up project that was originally set up at Universal. Nibbelink, who was still directing project, was also able to convince Zondag and Geo to return to project. Development began under title *Story Of Dusk And Dawn*, which was plan to be 2D traditional animated at DreamWorks Glendale animation studio and produced by Geo through his company Glass Ball Productions, which would also develop *Niz Chicoloco* and *Kit Mineko* for DreamWorks.

Around same time, Pacific Data Images in Palo Alto, California was bought out by DreamWorks during production of their 1 all 3D CG animated feature *Antz*. In light of this, DreamWorks and PDI executives requested film to be 3D computer animated instead of originally intended 2D hand drawn animation due to complex elements in script regarding strong visuals follow test screen, but Nibbelink decided to leave project, as he disagreed with executives on their decision to turn film into 3D computer animation, as Nibbelink intention was of making true 2D traditional animated feature. *Antz* director Eric Darnell replaced Nibbelink, and producer Aron Warner join production while Zondag and Geo were remained intact. DreamWorks also opted for movie to take more comedy oriented direction albeit while still maintaining some dramatic elements, and brought writer Roger Schulman to help emphasize funnier tone. In 1999, *Los Angeles Times* report that film, now title back to just *Dusk And Dawn*, was in it preliminary stage with Darnell directing. Darnell was originally directing film alone, but in 2000, Cody Cameron, additional storyboard artist on *Chicken Run*, had join him as director.

Story work on revised film started when they knew what to retain from original version, name Dan Aykroyd as Louie and Meg Ryan as Mina, with remaining elements would be written around those characters. David Bowers, who was storyboard artist during *Dusk And Dawn* tenure at Amblimation and Universal before join DreamWorks, came up with idea of making Louie and Mina teen follow Bowers discovery of Geo original draw of characters who actually look young as opposed to adults that they were in original version, as to be opposite of Ligera. Follow up on new idea, former MGM Animation writer Jymn Magon came on board as writer on project, where he suggest road comedy adventure take on project. Characters name were change to name after parts of day main Louie and Mina being name as Dusk and Dawn as Katzenberg and Warner want film to take place in true fantasy universe where part of day are people. Plot elements, such as romance between Dusk and Dawn, dusk destroy villain scheme and similarities to *Romeo And Juliet* were drop. Character of Gloom was also drop, though he was work into Twilight, creator of Dusk. Some other characters such as Blue and Golden, who would appear as characters in future films in franchise, were originally created for 1 film. Michael Wilson did uncredited rewrite on script.

In 1999, cast members Meg Ryan, Steve Martin and George Hearn were drop from the film while Dan Aykroyd and Michelle Pfeiffer remained in cast, though latter was then give to Christine Baranski after having tried for voice role of Eris in other animated film *Legend Of 7 Seas* which was also replaced by Pfeiffer. Michael Fox initially auditioned for lead role of Dusk, but later turn it down, stating that he did not like way character look. As result, Fox departed from *Dusk And Dawn* in 2000 and was replaced by Josh Peck, who was also considered before Fox. For role of Dawn, Piper Perabo, Hilary Duff and Amanda Bynes were considered, but Zooey Deschanel was ultimate cast after producers approached her during film of live action film *Almost Famous*. Contemporary animated films where most of cast members record their voice separately, Peck and Deschanel record their part in studio together, although they both did record session separately at least 2 times.

In 2001, *Dusk And Dawn* new story was announced by DreamWorks and PDI, center on like dusk till dawn relationship of 2 teen voice by Peck and Deschanel who embark on journey together to stop war of their families of days. Anthony Hopkins was also announced in film voice cast. Despite phrasing of title, film was not related to Robert Rodriguez action horror film *From Dusk Till Dawn* and it sequels although both stories involve family being take hostage. Katzenberg worried that new story was too close in tone to *Shrek*, which became huge success at American box office. Darnell and Cameron assured him that *Dusk And Dawn* would have much smaller cast, making it easier to attract audiences.

Glass Ball Productions was initially still involved in film, but was not list as involved company. Additionally, Geo served as uncredited producer of film.

### Animation and Design

During production on Universal initial 2D hand drawn version of *Dusk And Dawn*, Ralph Zondag brother Dick was initial supervising animator of Dusk, then know as Louie. William Salazar was originally slated as supervising animator for Mina, later Dawn. Jeffrey James Varab was to be supervising animator of villainess Ligera, who was written as Sun. In 1995, Todd Wilderman came on board to animate sun midget Al, now Light. When Universal put film in turnaround, Wilderman transferred to work on *Mistress Masham Repose* being developed concurrently at Universal while Dick Zondag left to work on Disney *Dinosaur*.

After DreamWorks took over production of *Dusk And Dawn* when it was still being 2D traditional animated in house at Glendale studio, animator James Baxter inherited character of Louie while Salazar stay as supervising animator of Mina, as many of Amblimation artists and animators who work on *Dusk And Dawn* were remained intact when they join DreamWorks follow Amblimation closure. Kristof Serrand, who previously work on original Amblimation version of *Dusk*, was later ask to serve as supervising animator of Ligera, as Varab left to work on other projects. Follow decision to turn *Dusk And Dawn* into 3D CGI animated feature at Pacific Data Images during massive change on film story, Salazar and Serrand left project as they only stay in Glendale animation studio to work on *Road To El Dorado* being developed concurrently, although Baxter stay in *Dusk And Dawn* as supervising animator. According to producer Aron Warner, discussion to move project to 3D CGI sound better and more fit than using 2D traditional animation for film themes and elements.

Actual production began at PDI in 2000 while production of *Shrek* was almost finish at time. Like it previous films *Antz* and *Shrek*, PDI use it own proprietary software, like it own Fluid Animation System for it animated movies including *Dusk And Dawn*. Studio also utilized Maya for animation process, as well as for hair of titular protagonists. Animators faced great challenges attempting to create more realistic human hair and fur systems for characters, even with help of Maya hair system that was also used to animate Princess Fiona hair in *Shrek*, especially when it came to design Dawn, hard character to animate in film with over 1000 controls, very long ponytail and flexible torso, although supervising animator Raman Hui remarked effect came across better than animating realistic humans from *Shrek*, who suffered from uncanny valley.

Many of character designs main titular duo were supplied by Geo G, who remained involved in project since early development stages of *Dusk And Dawn* back when it was being developed at Universal. Other character designers for film include Raman Hui, Carlos Grangel, Nico Marlet, Craig Kellman, Carey Yost, Andy Bialk and Chris Battle, latter 4 previous work with Geo on his work *Gabriel Garza*, *Niz Chicoloco* and *Zina Supermoon* as well as *Kit Mineko* where Geo served as executive producer.
