Last Chance started out as three pencil drawings. The Comet, the Trees leaving and the Dancing Lady. They were the key scenes and became the first storyboard panels.
The animation ended up with 27 paintings in the end. At least that’s what they’re supposed to be, moving paintings. The idea was to make something “impressionistic”, where the first glimpse of the painting contains all the information.
The story is intentionally on the darker side. We start of with a brief heavenly glimpse, Shipibo patterns of the Amazon, and then it’s all downhill from there. Only towards the end when all options have been exhausted are we allowed to fly again.
Anyway, here are the original three drawings that started the whole thing.
