Abstract
Toy Story is the first full length feature film produced entirely using the technology of computer animation. The main characters, Sheriff Woody and Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear; are toys that come to life when humans aren’t around. Their story is one of rivalry challenges, teamwork and redemption.
Making this film required four years of effort, from writing the story and script, to illustrated storyboards, through modeling, animation, lighting, rendering, and@lming. This paper examines various processes involved in producing the film.
1. Introduction
Before Toy Story was made, the contribution of computer animation to feature films was measured in seconds or minutes. The challenge of this project was to produce an entire feature film showing a complete world created digitally, to populate it with characters seeming to act of their own volition and experience, and render it with the colors, shapes, and textures of a believable stylized reality.
The result is a film that couldn’t have been made any other way. When Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear come to life, they have a sense of three dimensional form that solidifies their existence, confirming our suspicions about the secret lives of toys. The techniques used can create motion so detailed and fluid that a character’s emotion is clearly visible, all in an enticing world with the uncanny ability to appear simultaneously both real and unreal.
