Geekery: Pixar in a Box

Pixar has hooked up with Khan Academy for a series of free animation lessons…

The new series of lessons looks at making a Pixar animated feature starting with story creation and going all the way through the animation process. The series starts here…

Lessons include:

• The Art of Storytelling

• Simulation
• Color Science
• Virtual cameras
• Effects
• Patterns
• Rigging
• Animation
• Environment modeling
• Character modeling
• Crowds
• Sets & Staging
• Rendering

They all give a great view in to the basics of the process for fans – and are especially good if you have a budding animated film maker of any age in your house.
