lectures on Pixar animation
From Toy Story onwards, animation has discovered the way into a fantastic universe offering unlimited opportunity for creation and expression, and thanks to computer graphics it has achieved an astonishing emotional and perceptive image quality, putting paid to any fears that artistic originality might succumb to technological automation. In parallel with digital research, the construction of every Pixar production includes a surprising amount of "craftsmanlike" research by artists, creatives, actors, set designers, scriptwriters, psychologists and so on which the computer brings together and translates into the finished work. To enter this magical universe and explore it in depth, we have asked a few experts to share their experience at work and in the studio with us, analysing Pixar's masterpieces from an aesthetic, cultural or scientific point of view and revealing many of the human factors and much of the human input that make each Pixar individual film a unique and unforgettable work of art.
