The TMNT crew had a group show in the art gallery at Nickelodeon with a “girl” theme. I thought one of the girls looked familiar! Turns out it was a fan art piece by Adam Lucas, former storyboard revision artist on Korra, and current storyboard artist on TMNT. Based on the stairwell setting and her Naota-like boots, I like to think of this as a mash-up between FLCL and Korra, something I fully support. I’d like to see more of that mash-up!
Adam is the creator of the comic Goldilock. He moved out from Virginia to work on Korra, his first gig in animation.
David Tennant: I remember when they were filming but I wasn’t on camera, but filming my half of that scene… James Hawes, the director, he came up to me and said, “Come just make them laugh. Be off camera and make them laugh.”
Julie Gardner: Did you? What did you do?
David Tennant: I got Steve, my make-up artist, to paint a big mustache on my face. It seemed to work.(School Reunion episode commentary)
