PIXAR!

HAD A TRIP TO THE SCIENCE CENTRE!!!!

I already can't remember when is the last time i went to the Science Centre, is it like 5years ago? There were lots of students hanging around there and makes it quite crowded, but not the Pixar exhibition! We went in the PIXAR EXHIBITION and was like teleported to another world. Lots of painting and models were laid out. Explanations and drawings.


THERE WAS A 3D MODEL ZOETROPE!!!!!
It was really very fantastic and unbelievable when you really see it!


Some of the models were like this :)
The models from the bugs life really attract me!
Especially the grasshopper and stick insect!


There were smaller rooms with seats and were showing short clips of the production!





Watched ToyStory2 3D after covering the exhibition.

I watch ToyStory2 for 4times already? But it was not bored at all to watch it over again!! The cute characters and nice story plot. The scenes that i cannot forget is the Jessie part when she talk about her past with her ex-owner. It was so emotional.

The scene of the elevator part was hilarious and the climax too!

ALTERNATIVE ANIMATION

So actually there are lots of different types and alternative to animation! We learn more in-depth to Stop-Motion, Claymation, Pixilation and Animation for Adults.

Watched Coraline!!

I always wanted to borrow and watch at the school library! We seriously have truck loads of films install at the school library!!! I didn't manage to watch it, as I always tend to pick up action/live film instead of animation wise. Lucky i have the chance to watch during class!!

It was a stop-motion film and was really flabbergast by the quality of the whole animation. A few scene really startled me as it was really scary, buttons as eyes!




Designs of the environment and character was great too. The Russian acrobat, which is Mr. Bobinsky, really caught my attention with the proportion of his body size.




Imagine the numbers of models and set for the whole production!!
