In the introduction to Pomp and Circumstance where Mickey met James, if Mickey were in CG, his layout form would slide across to James and his right arm moves up and down to tug on the tux coat tail, then in the closer shot, the layout model would move his arms up to the bowtie and down to the coat and the layout would slide off-screen. As for the animation part, it would be the same as his rough and cleaned-up sketches like it is. In the Mickey Meets the Maestro feature, if Donald W. Ernst talked about a CG Mickey, he would say the third stage like this, "The next step is Layout. And in this stage, what we've done is in the long shot, replaced the prop man with Mickey in Layout form and then in the closeup, we laid Mickey over the prop man so that Mickey could reach up and move James' tie." Then the fourth stage would go, "The next step is Animation where we give Mickey life by giving him limber body motions and emotional facial expressions." Then at the last part, his line would be "And finally, we put everything together. We render Mickey and the background with plenty of shading and lighting and here is the final result." What do you think, guys? Interesting idea if Mickey were done by computers when talking to James Levine?
