User blog:Savage Samurai/Crash VS Spyro Commentary Trivia

Trivia that appeared on the commentary for Crash VS Spyro:
 * This episode had help from Kristina, a new animator at SA. She also did the storyboards for this episode.
 * Crash's height was calc'd by scaling him to Cortex in one of the DS games.
 * Apparently, the reason behind Crash's hair in the animated cutscenes is because the cutscenes took inspiration from different media such as DBZ.
 * The reason Iron man is in Spyro's analysis is because there was not enough footage on the subject of atom-smashing to cover Wiz and Boomstick's conversation on the subject.
 * Ben says Dark Spyro was not really needed in the fight because death battle removes all inhibitions anyway but was included because it was cool.
 * Torrian's entire goal in the animation was to make Crash "look like an asshole". His justification is because he's a bandicoot and Spyro's a magical dragon, Crash needed some character depth.
 * Kristina's take on the fight i that after the two combatant's beat the shit out of each other, they'll go out for ice cream.
 * Crash's mech was animated through mo-cap and Kristina's direction was for Torrian to walk backwards.
 * Kristina did most of Spyro's animation by hand. She and Gerome also were responsible for most of the aerial battle between the two combatants.
 * Sparx was not used as support because while he was important in the first game, he quickly stopped being useful even in the original trilogy. Aku Aku gets the opposite treatment and is more useful as the series progresses.
