Here are my storyboards for the first animated Disney film that didn't end- "happily ever after". (CLICK TO ENLARGE)
Critical opalescence is a strikingly beautiful effect that is seen when water is heated to 374 C under high pressure. In that critical state, the fluid is continually fluctuating between gas and liquid, and the fluctuations are seen visually as a multicolored sparkling. I think this is a wonderful metaphor for the creative process.
