Barely 90 seconds long, it's a deceptively simple bit of interaction between a table lamp, its offspring and a ball. The motion blur is also an innovation.Īttracted plenty of attention many of us saw it as a theatrical short subject. The two 'stars' are made of basic shapes that move, gesticulate, and react like cartoon characters. Previous animated characters were little more than wireframes and moved like robots. This Lucasfilm short now looks primitive but when new represented a quantum leap for computer animation. The collection contains thirteen original short subjects, and substantial extras. They hired Disney animator John Lasseter in the hope that a proven creative personality could get the most from their superior programming tools. While other companies were displaying basic graphic images of geometric shapes moving on screen, Pixar proved that computers could be applied to creative filmmaking. To show what their tools could do, the Pixar people used animation as demonstration showcases for an industry convention called Siggraph, the International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques. Pixar started as a computer hardware & software firm owned by Lucasfilm, and was sold to Steve Jobs in 1986.
The Pixar Short Films Collection - Volume 1 is a roundup of animated shorts showing the development of computer animation at the Pixar company beginning in the early 1980s.
