ABOUT THE IMAGE: This storyboard from Oliver & Company was originally drawn by Disney Legend and renowned storyboard artist Joe Ranft (1960 - 2005). Ranft started working at Disney in 1980 as part of the new wave of artists brought into the studio, learning through Walter Stanchfield's training program. He worked on a few unmade projects before starting his feature film contributions with The Great Mouse Detective, briefly moving to Oliver & Company before he began working on Who Framed Roger Rabbit.The film put a spin on the classic tale of Oliver Twist and was something new for Disney, a trial run for including extensive computer animation in their features and returning to a musical format for their animated films.
ABOUT THE MEDIUM:Storyboard Drawings show what’s moving in each shot, and in which direction, so that the production team is crystal clear on the desired end result. Photostat Storyboard Sheets are printed copies of the original storyboard drawings that were used by staff during the production of a film. This print was then hand-colored in colored pencil.
