The Cincinnati Museum Center’s newest exhibit takes visitors behind the scenes of some of the most popular films and characters. The Science Behind Pixar takes a look at Buzz Lightyear, Dory, Mike and Sulley, Edna Mode, WALL • E and more in an interactive exhibit that shows the limitless limits of STEM, imagination and curiosity.
In eight interactive areas, The Science Behind Pixar allows guests to envision the STEM concepts behind Pixar’s films by highlighting eight steps in the film-making process – modeling, rigging, surfaces, sets and cameras, animation, simulation, and lighting Rendering. The exhibition offers an incomparable look at the production pipeline of Pixar’s artists and computer scientists with more than 50 interactive elements, including the possibility:
- In A Bug’s Life, discover how camera placement and angles created an insect’s perspective.
- Create a digital sculpture from an artist’s sketch.
- Use lights to solve similar challenges Pixar faces creating underwater scenes in Finding Nemo.
- See how models are given a virtual skeleton that animators can use to position them.
- Build a robot inspired by those in WALL • E.
- Try the stop-motion animation of a jumping lamp and watch a short film about your production.
- See and touch scale models of many of Pixar’s popular characters.
The films and characters represented in the exhibition include “Toy Story”, “A Bug’s Life”, “Finding Nemo”, “Finding Dory”, “Brave”, “The Incredibles”, “Up”, “WALL • E”, “Monsters, Inc.”, “Cars”, “Luca” and more.
