Ariel - Color Philosophy
Here's an example of the kind of guides put together during the early stages of an animation movie production. These would used to inform the crew on the visual approach of the production, and also, in this case, to reasure the executives that we were repecting the visual language laid down by the original Little Mermaid movie. So this guide contains images from the first two movies for comparison. (I've also included a few technical guides at the end of this gallery)
