More items from the early stages of the Babel Fish sequence, the first half of which constituted the initial pilot test piece for the BBC.

These items were part of the early design process and use the initial slightly more cartoony design for the Babel Fish before I "straightened" it all up for the actual finished sequence to give a more digital feel.

This package offered for auction is a collection of 6 Rotring pen tracings made by Rod Lord on cells (33x26.5 cm). These were for various layers of the opening seconds of the sequence and intended to be painted on the back of the cells for top lighting under the rostrum camera.

They never got painted because we shifted to the "straightened" version before getting that far.
