AN ANIMATION
CASE STUDY
Toy Story was Pixar's first full feature film,
released by Walt Disney Pictures in 1995. It
became so successful that the franchise now
includes three sequels. let's take a look at the
fascinating process that created a toy story,
from start to finish !
SCRIPT WRITTING
" In a world where toys come alive when humans are not
present, a group of toys is preparing to move into a new house
with their owner, Andy Davis, his sister, Molly, and their single
mother "
This was the initial flow script, while writers write the script and
capture the dialogue story flow character names backgrounds
and all small details into a text format. A story board artist will
always be a side to visualise the script in a visual sketch form.
STORY BOARDING
The initial story board is cut down into an animatics which is also termed as story reel, basically a long
detailed flipbook that reflects the pace of each sequence. The story real is edited with rudimentary
sound effects, a scratch soundtrack, temporary dialogue that has been pre-recorded by pixer
employees it serves as a rough draft for the movie allowing the film makers to get an idea of how the
story will unfold
CHARACTER DESIGN
character design for toy story involved, A lot of research into toys , themselves
how they are made how they age and everything in between. The character
team found their perfect villain in field trips to antique shops where they'd
often spot vintage dolls working in corners, and there the idea for Gabby
Gabby and Duke Caboom was born
A major focus was also give to the wardrobe of
the characters, especially major updates were
made from part 1 to part 4 in the movie, by
changing
Another key step in the visual development of the film is the creation of
colour scripts that kind of look like impression paintings from the 19th
century, hoping film makers to start define the style lighting scheme and
general mode of each shot and figure out how the colours in each scene will
relate the overall story line and all this illustration provides reference
material for the next stage of modelling.

RIGGING
It's very often that before artists start Get rigged with a movable skeleton which
rigging on to the character, they act has control placed around its joins and
themselves, the posture or the expression face and rest of his body like a really
they want the character should reflect in advanced digital puppet animated will
the scene. This helps and evident confusion then be able to manipulate the characters
of natural reflexes, which makes the actions movement using its unique set of controls
of the character look more generic
SHADING & TEXTURING
The "Render Farm" used Sun Microsystems computers, running around the clock,
to produce the final frames of the film.
Rendering is used in both 2D and 3D computer animation. It is the process of
getting the final assembled animation scenes or pieces out of the computer
in the format of a sequence of individual frames. The aim of rendering is to
generate a series of individual pixel based frames or a video clip.
