A look at Pixar's beginnings
If you are into creating animation then you may like to take a step back in history by viewing this video below. The video shows early computer generation animation technology that was used to animate cartoons back in the 1980s. The video shows you how characters and backgrounds were built up in black and white vector animation sketches on a computer that were then colored in. When describing what it was like to color in the objects the video states the whole process is like stretching a piece of skin over a wire mesh frame. The originator of the video was working for Disney at the time, but when Micheal Eisner took over, he got canned. Don't feel too bad, he went on to start Pixar. For the full drama story, follow the read link, otherwise sit back and watch away...
1. And now Eisner's out of Disney and Lasseter is back in. Strange how the world works, eh?
