At the time, Walt Disney Studios was interested and eventually bought and used the Pixar Image Computer and custom software written by Pixar as part of its Computer Animation Production System (CAPS) project, to migrate the laborious ink and paint part of the 2D animation process to a more automated method. The company's first feature film to be released using this new animation method was The Rescuers Down Under (1990). [28] [29] The making of Elemental resulted in Pixar having to upgrade and buy more computers. This film used over 151,000 cores (the brains of a computer), a massive jump compared to Toy Story with 294 cores, Monsters Inc. with 672 cores, and Finding Nemo with 923 cores. [13] This is the second Pixar film of the 2020s to have the normal music and/or sounds for both of the opening logos, after Turning Red. It is also the first in this case to not have any musical or sound alterations to either logo at any given point whatsoever. Additionally, Enrico Casarosa, Aphton Corbin, Brian Fee, Kristen Lester, Dan Scanlon, Domee Shi and Rosana Sullivan have been working on their respective untitled feature films, all of which would be based upon original ideas. [a] Production cycleOn February 7, 2023, Thomas Newman was confirmed to compose and conduct the original score for Elemental. It marks Newman's fourth collaboration with the studio after Finding Nemo, WALL-E, and Finding Dory, as well as his first Pixar film not to be directed by Andrew Stanton. [1] Ari "Lauv" Leff collaborated with Newman to create the original song called " Steal the Show" being released on June 5, 2023 as a single. [2] Release [ ] With the scarcity of Los Angeles-based animators willing to move their families so far north to give up traditional animation and try computer animation, Pixar's new hires at this time either came directly from college or had worked outside feature animation. For those who had traditional animation skills, the Pixar animation software Marionette was designed so that traditional animators would require a minimum amount of training before becoming productive. [99] The air elementals in this film resemble the cloud characters from Partly Cloudy, a short film Peter Sohn directed.

He was then reunited with Smith, who also made the journey from NYIT to Lucasfilm, and was made the director of the Graphics Group. At NYIT, the researchers pioneered many of the CG foundation techniques—in particular, the invention of the alpha channel by Catmull and Smith. [14] Over the next several years, the CGL would produce a few frames of an experimental film called The Works. After moving to Lucasfilm, the team worked on creating the precursor to RenderMan, called REYES (for "renders everything you ever saw") and developed several critical technologies for CG—including particle effects and various animation tools.
