Pixar animation

It all began with "Toy Story". Later came "Monster's Inc", "Finding Nemo", and "The Incredibles". These were some of the first movies made using Pixar animation. Most of this animation is designed using sculptures and models and then placed into a computer to complete the actual film. This type of animation is very cutesy and easy to watch. Younger children adore this because it is pleasing to the eyes. There is a 14 step process to this type of animation before it is complete and ready to be made into a movie.
1. Pitch an idea
2. Summarize the main idea
3. Draw storyboard and incorporate voice talents
4. Make reels and the art department creates the look and feel of the characters through sculptures and web designs
5. Sets are built in 3-D
6. Virtual camera then creates shots and then the shot is animated
7. Software programs begin to shade certain shots to create efficient drawings
8. Incorporate digital light
9. Computer data is "rendered"
10. Add finishing touches and VOILA the animation is complete!

This is just a fun, cute video using Pixar animation.
