| Summary |
"In Blue Sky: The Art of Computer Animation, Peter Weishar, professor of computer animation at New York University's celebrated Tisch School of the Arts, takes the reader to Blue Sky Studios to see how it's done. Blue Sky Studios, a subsidiary of Twentieth Century Fox, was founded in 1987 to pioneer photorealistic, high-resolution computer-generated character animation for the entertainment industry. In 1998, the studio won an Academy Award for its short film Bunny, and it has just completed its first animated feature, Ice Age. These two films exemplify very different visual styles, but both are extraordinary achievements in 3D computer animation." "Using examples from Bunny and Ice Age, but also drawing on the studio's work for other feature films and television commercials, Weishar takes the reader step-by-step through the making of a computer-animated feature film."--BOOK JACKET |
