A capsule
examination of the collaborative design process behind Pixar Animation Studios.
On view in the Process Lab, the installation features original
artwork–including rarely seen hand-drawn sketches, paintings, and sculptures
from over 25 years of Pixar filmmaking–and creative exercises inspired by the
Pixar design process.
Concept art
from Toy Story, Wall-E, Brave, The Incredibles, and Cars, among other films
reveal how the visual design process and story development work hand in hand at
Pixar. From a film’s earliest stages, Pixar designers use the design processes
of iteration, collaboration, and research to create appealing characters and
believable environments that ultimately contribute to the success of the film’s
story.
In
addition, over 600 Pixar artworks are on view on the Process Room’s touchscreen
table and are tagged to link the Pixar works to thousands of Cooper
Hewitt-related collection objects.
