Here is some very cool VDT concept art back from 2007, most definitely from the leaked script.

The first one looks a lot like the one from the PC DVD, except there are mermaids(?) it seems. Kind of like the ones at the coronation in LWW, these are not the sea people that seem to be described in the book.

The second has the actual sea people fighting the sea serpent. Again, strange...

Third piece has the Dawn Treader sailing to the End of the World.

Fourth piece has Dragon Eustace with Caspian(?) or maybe Edmund on Dragon Island.

Fifth piece is a sea girl riding a sea horse from the view of the ship.

The final two pieces have the sea people riding on their sea horses in a very interesting style, one of which appears to be following the Dawn Treader.

Ooh, those are all very nice. Thanks for the find Louloudi! Justin Sweet really does have a wonderful artistic style, his pieces for Prince Caspian are amongst my favourites.

The one with the Dawn Treader at the edge of the world is a really interesting piece. I think i still prefer the design they went with in the movie as its much closer to the description in the book, but conceptually i think the idea he's gone with there looks rather spectacular and it certainly would of made for an interesting visual in the movie.

Most of the ones with the Sea People do seem to correspond to the original Leaked Script as you pointed out. In fact the fifth piece there with the sea-girl visible through the porthole of the ship seems to match exactly with some of the original pre-vis work we saw back here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2779&start=16#p149778

Here's even more concept art by Jeremy Love. This round of VDT concept art features Lucy's Dream sequence and the Sea of Lilies and Reepicheep and his coracle.

(Note how in the main boat rowed by the children has only themselves and Reepicheep, and not Caspian in it. This concept art seems to be from a more final version of the film we know. Could Caspian's role have been added in at the last minute? )

Oh thanks for that LouLou! I liked the sea of lilies one, it's beautiful! I also like how detailed Reep's coracal is!

Some additional pieces by Justin Sweet from the same site that Louloudi linked a couple of posts back, featuring some different takes on the Duffledpuds:

and one of the Sea Serpent and Dawn Treader:

Plus some additional storyboards by Federico D'Allesandro, buried away on his website along with the previously linked animatics and concept art:

It's often difficult to keep track of Pre-Viz videos, since they generally can't be saved off to your computer and stored in the same way Concept Art can, and once they inevitably get pulled from the web it can be difficult to remember what you've seen and what you haven't, but i'm pretty sure all these are new.

There are 9 videos in total, on the website of pre-visualisation artist Andy Cadz. Most of the content is very similar to the final cut of the movie, however there are some additional intriguing little details in there. Here is a brief description of all 9 videos...

1. The Sea Serpent is attacking the Dawn Treader - Edmund falls from the mast and Lucy uses her cordial to aid him.

2. During the Sea Serpent attack, Lucy and Gael are hiding in the cabin and find an old man hiding beneath the table.

3. The Sea Serpent coils itself around the boat. It's eyes start to glow showing The White Witch/LOTGK in it is eyes, before the serpent is smashed against a rock.

4. The Sea Serpent emerges from the water. The crew uses harpoons with ropes to try and bring the serpent down.

5. The Dawn Treader is seen disappearing into the Dark Island via the reflection in Dragon Eustace's eye(?). The Sea Serpent smashes its way into the ships cabin. The blue star starts glowing overhead.

6. Eustace collapses on Ramandu's Island. Runs to the table and places the last sword there.

7. The Damaged Dawn Treader (presumably post Sea Serpent battle) is seen surrounded by 8 other large sailing ships. The crew are then seen reparing and cleaning the ship.

8. Farewell scene - rough animatics for Aslan and Reepicheep paired with raw footage from the filmed scene.

9. The full Sea Serpent scene with sound! Combines footage from most but not all of the previous 8 videos

Of all these, the part that intrigues me the most is this shot here with the Dawn Treader surrounded by all the boats. Who's boats are they? Lone Islanders? Pirates? Given how everything else is more or less in line with the finished film, this one sticks out quite a way.

Cool pre-viz videos. I remember that the sea serpent battle one from a few months ago, until it was taken down, but I don't remember seeing all of these other ones.

Remember how in the finished film, Lord Rhoop mentions how sailors and fishermen have been disappearing due to this Green Mist? Perhaps these are the fishing boats? Maybe due to budgetary reasons the larger boats were cut? Though note the eagles on one pair of the sails... Is that a symbol of something?

Awesome! Really makes you appreciate the work and effort that is put in making these stunning movies.

Ah, good thought! That would make a lot of sense.

Whilst the entire thing of having people fed to the Green Mist for no particular reason was a pretty lame idea to start with, at least having some larger sailing boats such as depicted there might have made the conclusion to that particular plotline seem a little less underwhelming, rather than just having a handful of people in a couple of rowing boats bobbing around in the water completely unaffected by the entire ordeal. Oh well.

New finds are a bit thin on the ground, but here is a single piece by Evan Shipard that we haven't yet had on here...

I think that image looks even more stunning than the actual look of it in the film. Is that really a created image? It looks like a photo or screenshot.

The scenery reminds me of New Zealand.

Wow, the art looks like as if it came from the final film itself. I question as well whether it was computerized or hand made.

Either way, it is very nice looking, very Narnian-esque.

I love to see all of this concept art!
I love to see how an idea or drawing can turn into a scene or a prop!
I'm so glad you started this Thread icarus, Thanks!
I wonder if we could maybe start one for both The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian?
I Love the concept art from each of those movies as well!

I have to say, I really like the initial drawings of Eustace the Dragon. He looked a bit too... safe/nice-looking in the film, I thought, but these sketches are fantastic.

One thing I wish we could find is more costume concepts. The few I've seen on Isis' site are all for the Dufflepuds. Very nice, but I'd like to see their other ideas for - say - Lucy's costumes. The other drawings are just of the [beautiful] finalized costumes.

Also, I love the look of the children dufflepuds by Justin Sweet - I wish we could have seen them realized in the film.

Does anyone remember if there was a shot in the movie from under the water, with the silhouette of Eustace-Dragon flying overhead? I saw one in the storyboards by Federico D'Allesandro and am curious whether they used the idea.
