A project that inspired me a lot is Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studio’s collaboration movie “Up”. Released in 2009, the movie took the team 5 years to create. Besides the touching plot line of the movie, I also admire the movie’s stunning animation, including the thousands of balloons, the character’s realistic and detailed looks, and the beautifully illustrated landscape views. To animate the movie, the studio uses their unique software “Presto”. It is developed and used in-house by Pixar Animation Studios in the animation of its features and short films. Presto is not available for sale and is only used by Pixar. According to the movie director Pete Docter, the movie’s animation style took inspiration from “Toy Story”. New programs were made to simulate the cloth and other textures. These new designs would bring animation to new levels in the future.
