Ever wonder how children’s animated movies are made? The California Science Center’s The Science Behind Pixar Exhibition looks at the studio’s canon, from 1995’s Toy Story to last year’s Inside Out, and how computer scientists and artists bring their concepts to the big screen. Co-organized by Pixar Animation Studios and Museum of Science, Boston, the exhibit includes eight, themed and interactive sections – “Modeling, Rigging, Surfaces, Sets & Camera, Animation, Simulation, Lighting and Rendering” – each focusing on an aspect of the filmmaking process, as well as first-hand accounts from Pixar employees and cast members and life-size recreations of Buzz Lightyear, Dory, Mike and Sulley, WALL-E and other characters.
