DISNEY INSIDER - Best Apps!
 |
| *Courtesy Disney Insider |
From Disney Insider:
"For many of us, summer is the season of free time and vacation fun. What better time to beat the heat with some cool apps for your iPhones and iPads? If you like to play games, draw, or share photos and videos with friends, we know some apps that you should definitely take a look at.
Where’s My Mickey?
Maybe you’ve heard of the award-winning puzzle game starring Swampy the alligator, Where’s My Water? Now, our favorite animated mouse is getting in on the physics-based puzzle action with his own Where’s My Mickey?, an all new gaming experience that includes not only challenging puzzles, but also original animation. Play through five unique episodes with their own funny stories—all drawn in the style of the recently released new Mickey cartoons. You’ll want to beat the whole game to see how each of Mickey’s new adventures end.
Wake Up With Disney
You might not need to get up early while you’re enjoying your summer vacation, but this clever 3D alarm clock will give you a good excuse. Starting with Donald Duck, Wake Up With Disney will feature a number of popular Disney characters that you can customize and interact with. It’ll even show you how the weather looks outside, so you can pack up your towel and sandals, or maybe rethink that trip to the beach altogether and check out movie times instead.
ScribbleMix: Monsters University Pack
Mike, Sulley, and the rest of the Monsters University universe have scared their way into the popular social drawing game, ScribbleMix. The gameplay follows the same fun formula as in the past, in which you draw out silly phrases for your friends to guess, earning coins and treasure along the way. But now you also get to dive into MU lore, with character bios, special edition Monsters colors, and more.
Story
Whether you’re on vacation in a far away place or staycation in the comforts of your own backyard, the times you enjoy are ready to be turned into stories of their own with Story. This app takes the photos and videos captured with your phone and turns them into personalized storybooks that you can look back on later or share immediately with friends and family.
Mickey Video
One way to relax with a good laugh is to sit back and enjoy Mickey Mouse cartoons from across the generations with the Mickey Video app. The Fab Five of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto (with special appearances by some of their other friends) are all represented in the many Disney classics, remixed cartoons, and YouTube favorites available. It’s also a great place to keep up with all of the new series Mickey cartoons that we just took a behind-the-scenes look at as they are released. And, as the year goes on, additional content will make its way into the app, including seasonal collections for your post-summer pleasure. "

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY - Sketches to Scares: How a Scene First Comes to Life
 |
| *Courtesy Disney Pixar |
Each scene from a Pixar film goes through a tried and true process of development to achieve just the right look, color script and lighting scheme. Take a look at the whole process below to get a sense of the steps that go into each stage of the animation process–what changes and what stays the same as a moment goes from a quick sketch in the Story Department to a final frame on the big screen. Then, we’ll break it down and take a look at each step in the animation process…
Story Department
Pixar Story artist Dean Kelly drew this storyboard to help artists pre-visualize the action of this particular moment in the film. Story artists created approximately 227,246 storyboards for Monsters University–more than any other Pixar film to date!
Art Department
Once the sequence of events is determined, it’s up to the Art department to determine the style and feel of the scene. Through concept art, artists like Shelly Wan explore lighting, textures, and the general mood of characters and locations.
Modeling
Next, technical directors create characters and environments in the computer with a process known as Modeling. In Modeling, technical directors will design the shapes, textures, colors, and material properties of characters and objects.
Layout
In the layout stage of animation, a virtual camera is placed into a shot. The characters and set are then “staged” and arranged into positions for each camera angle.
Animation and Simulation
The Animation department now animates the primary and secondary characters and add textures and colors to garments and props. The scene is populated with hundreds of background characters, which are animated by the Crowds department. The Simulation department designs realistic movement for the characters’ hair and clothes through computer simulation so that they move naturally and believably with the characters’ actions.
Lighting/Final Frame
The last step of the animation process occurs when the Lighting department integrates all the elements into a final image. Lighting is achieved in the computer by placing light sources into the scene to light the characters and objects. Monsters University is the first Pixar film to use Global Illumination that allows for more complex and realistic lighting set-ups.
