Pixar exhibition in Melbourne, Australia
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2007 5:06 pm
For any of you in the Melbourne area who have the time and a little cash, drop in and see the Pixar exhibition in the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Federation Square.
$15 per adult entry, lots of interesting character development and design insight. Small queues.
I particularly would like to draw your attention to the Artscape exhibition - it's a side-room which it's easy to miss amongst the other exhibits and the dimly lit areas.
It shows an 11-minute film which uses a lot of the pre-production design artwork (painted images), but splits them into layers which it distributes in multiple 3D planes and moves the camera in and out of them. There are a few minor image animation features (e.g. moving an image of a car along a road background) , but it is mainly camera work on layered 2D backgrounds.
However, it shows some wonderful examples of the sort of multi-plane background/scenery camera effects possible in 2D animation, that Anime Studio Pro (Pro only) is quite capable of handling.
