The Art of Cars
by Michael Wallis
Example Page From The Art of Cars
Another excellent ‘art of’ book from Pixar. Included are many examples of pre-production sketches, maquette sculpts, animation thumbnails, digital paintings and digital renders amongst others. The book also includes fascinating development insights from some of the key artists and animators at Pixar.

First look at Pixar’s latest film entitled Cars.
The quicktime teaser trailer is quite disappointing for Pixar. I think this is down to the rather flat middle section of the trailer. I have faith though, that Pixar will deliver, as usual, a visually stunning feature film.

Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit by Aardman and Dreamworks.
Stop-Motion Animator Andy Symanowski With Nick Park
Featurette for the movie. Andy Symanowski (shown in red and grey t-shirt alongside Nick Park) was on my animation degree course at the Surry Institute of Art and Design (now UCA Farnham). He has also worked on Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit: Cracking Contraptions and Rex the Runt.

The film initially looks CGI but is stop motion (thankfully). One of the main reasons for this is down to new filming techniques. Canon Digital SLR cameras were utilised instead of 35mm film and was edited on Apple Macs in Final Cut Pro.
The look is also down to the ability to fine tune facial expressions instead of using head replacements. This is due to the minaturisation of mechanical gears.
Models and sets created by Mackinnon and Saunders in Manchester UK.
The film was created at Three Mills Studios in London.
DVD now available here from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com

Just seen The Incredibles in glorious digital format at The Filmworks in Manchester. The clarity of the images is so clear, I won’t be watching a blurry low quality film from now on, it’s digital or nothing at all.
