As being a really big Disney fan, the professional project I
chose to do was the movie inside out. The movie inside out is about a girl
named Riley and her emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. In the
beginning of the movie joy and sadness have a little argument about her core
memories. They end up getting sucked up into the tube and get sent to long-term
memory where all of her memories are stored. After that, they have to try and
find their way back to headquarters. Along the way, they run into lots of
Riley’s old memories and learn more about Riley’s mind and who she really is.
In they end, joy and sadness end up realizing that Sadness really isn’t bad and
that she should be more incorporated into Riley’s life.
They
animation in this project is amazing. Obviously, cause it’s a movie. However,
what you would have never expected is that it took many different tries to get
each character exactly how they wanted it. They would do many different 3D
models and make them out of clay to see if it would even look good. For this
particular movie, disgust was the hardest character to make. They couldn’t
figure out if they wanted her to be disgusting or disgusted. Another character
that was difficult to create was sadness, because although she had to be sad,
sometimes she also had to be happy. Sometimes it’s hard to make a sad person
seem happy. They also had some problems with her shape.
One element
of this movie I could try applying to my own work is to go out and see real
world examples of what could be going one. For instance, in Inside Out, they
idea of how the memories are transported down to long-term is based on an egg
factory. They visualized that the eggs were memories, and they watched how they
moved. Something that is similar to that that I could apply to my own projects
is, for example, the project where we had to move an animated toy down a
hallway. I could have brought in a toy wan rolled it down the hallway to see
how it moved across the floor. One element that I learned was already applied
to this project was the use of 3D and clay modeling.
One thing
the creator of this movie did well was that they went out into the real world
and got some realistic ideas for a movie that isn’t realistic. This made it
feel more real and made it easier to connect with the characters.
Over all,
this movie is really good. It has a great story line and great animations. Also
they fact that they brought ideas from the real world into Riley’s world, made
the story much more believable and more understandable
