The Art of WALL.E Pixar Animation Studios, the innovators behind Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Ratatouille, has again reinvented the genre with WALL E. When a robot searching for a connection finds EVE, a sleek female probe-droid from outer space, he embarks on an adventure-filled journey across the galaxy. Inspired by classic films, and a brave venture in its own right, WALL E is set to awe audiences this summer. The Art of WALL E includes more than 250 imaginative pieces of concept art, including storyboards, full-color pastels, digital and pencil sketches, character studies, color scripts, and more. The astute text featuring quotes from the director, artists, animators, and production team unearths the filmmakers’ historical inspirations and reveals a studio confidently pushing the limits of animation.
Customer Review: Finally….
Once I got the book, I couldn’t put it down. As a person trying to break into the industry with a traditional animation background, it’s good to know that Pixar still pushes “Old skool” style. The backgrounds are amazing, the artwork is spectacular, and their mission to let the animators “animate”? I LOVE PIXAR! I think this book is for the animator in all of us dying to get out and put their skills to the test. It explains obstacles you have to overcome when something is taken away. Storytelling through expression and art is somewhat of a lost art. Pixar has that magic touch to bring it back to the animation field and Im all for it! Chuck Jones once said about the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies that you can turn off the volume to the t.v. and still understand what is going on. If anyone can do that I believe Pixar’s the one.
Customer Review: Different style from other Pixar artbooks
This artbook is unlike the other Pixar artbooks, I’ve own. This book carries a much darker tone. That’s because in the movie, planet earth is covered with trash. Even just by looking at the pictures below, you can see that the colour palette on the movie set is going to be very limited. As a result, this book isn’t as colourful as the other artbooks.
