Eric Guillon -> Michael Defeo -> Sergio Casas

Just for fun, here’s a lineup of the same concept art of young and old onceler by 3 different artists so we can appreciate the teamwork and collaboration that went into the Lorax movie (this is also just my own assumption of how the order went in developing their looks). Eric Guillon is a character designer, Michael Defeo is a 3D sculptor, Sergio Casas is a colour artist.

Once-ler’s guitar hop + other aesthetics considered in Earth’s context, giant ramble

ages ago, i wondered where Once-ler’s guitar hop came from, I was certain I saw it, but I couldn’t remember where.

Then I saw the hop again.

And we know Marty Mcfly probably pulled his moves from somewhere.

Chuck Berry!

It says Duck-walk up there, but Chuck Berry also did that one-legged hop, (and some consider the hop as a type of duckwalk).

And the Once-ler’s hip-moving moves could be influence from Elvis. Elvis was nicknamed Elvis the Pelvis because of how much he moved, well, his pelvis.

The pelvis moving of Elvis among his performances was mildly scandalous.

From Wikipedia:

“Ben Gross of the New York Daily News opined that popular music “has reached its lowest depths in the ‘grunt and groin’ antics of one Elvis Presley. … Elvis, who rotates his pelvis … gave an exhibition that was suggestive and vulgar, tinged with the kind of animalism that should be confined to dives and bordellos”.[109] Ed Sullivan, whose own variety show was the nation’s most popular, declared him “unfit for family viewing”.[110] To Presley’s displeasure, he soon found himself being referred to as “Elvis the Pelvis”, which he called “one of the most childish expressions I ever heard, comin’ from an adult.”[111]”

So there’s possibly some 50′s influence on his movements.

It’s a really long document so i hope I didn’t have blatant errors like accidentally deleting half a paragraph.

Also, remember this gif of Paul shaking his hair. You’ll need it, since PDFs don’t have animated gifs and I refer to this at one point.

(And if you have read my entire ramble, thank you!)
