New York- Gallery, Studio & Museum Visits

Cooper & Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum Exhibition

Pixar: The Animation Story

When in New York, we ventured out to the Design Museum, where the exhibition of Pixar's production of character design, and setting design was being held. I personally have always had an interest in the aspect of the storyboard and initial sketches produced for such pieces, due to the raw characteristics they present.
The Design story was an exhibition set out between two rooms, the first was the initial designs of recent films such as 'Inside Out' and the sketches alongside, as well as the other films such as 'Up' and 'Brave' with sketches and animations that showed the process of the design, from storyboards, set designs and character sketches to the final product.
The Pixar Designer Peter Sohn who produced Academy Award-Winning films Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and WALL.E, his collection were shown in his home city New York.
Alongside the exhibition, we were given a programme that described the pieces, and also withheld an interview that the Cooper & Hewitt interviewer had conducted with Peter Sohn himself.
