Colourscript, first used in the production of Toy Story, is a good practice of drawing out the scenes for 3D Computer Generated Image (CGI) animations. It does not just tells the story of the animation like a storyboard, but also helps to map out colours, lighting, emotions and moods. While Pixar claimed that it is easy to get the colourscript done, I still think that a lot of effort is needed to make a colourscript especially if one is not really good at speed drawing and painting.
The Finding Nemo colourscript is made with pastel because it is a quick colouring medium, but people normally speed paints the scenes digitally in the present. I really like this colourscript because it is well-polished and it gives the cinematic effect such that I can see how the film will turn out just by skimming through it. Colourscript makes the film production more efficient in this sense because the colour allocation has been done at an early stage when the colourscript is made.
