About this productProduct InformationPixar Animation Studios, the Academy Awardwinning creators of Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bugs Life, and Monsters, Inc., are bringing a new animated movie, Finding Nemo, to the screen this summer. This visually stunning underwater adventure follows eventful and comic journeys of two fish-a father and his son Nemo-who become separated in the Great Barrier Reef. The underwater world for the film was conceptualized and developed by the creative team of artists, illustrators, and designers at Pixar, resulting in a lush landscape rich with detail. The Art of Finding Nemo celebrates their talent, featuring concept and character sketches, storyboards, and lighting studies in a huge spectrum of media, from five-second sketches to intricate color pastels. This behind-the-scenes odyssey invites the reader into the elaborate creative process of animation films through interviews with all the key players at Pixar. There will be childrens books related to Finding Nemo, but no adult titles other than this definitive volume. Revealing, insightful, and awesomely creative, The Art of Finding Nemo will delight film-goers, artists, and animation fans alike.Product IdentifiersPublisherChronicle BooksISBN-100811839753ISBN-139780811839754eBay Product ID (ePID)2421391Product Key FeaturesBook TitleArt of Finding NEMOAuthorMark Cotta VazFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicFilm / Genres / AnimatedPublication Year2003GenrePerforming ArtsNumber of Pages160 PagesDimensionsItem Length11.5in.Item Height1in.Item Width9.5in.Item Weight40.6 OzAdditional Product FeaturesAge Range13-UpLc Classification NumberNc1766.U53f5638 2003Grade fromEighth GradeGrade toCollege Graduate BeginnerReviewsBooks about animated movies are rarely artistically accomplished enough to astound. Not so Mark Cotta Vaz's coffee-table book THE ART OF FINDING NEMO which happily isn't a by-the-numbers look at how the hit film was made. Instead Vaz focuses on the illuminating concept art that inspired the digital artists at Pixar. And the result is magical. The artists were able to use a draft of the script as their blueprint (rare in animated films), and it paid huge dividends. In many ways the concept art surpasses the digital art of the movie itself. There's an emotional (not sentimental), articulated depth to the work, particularly in the pastels and the charcoal renderings (by production designer Ralph Eggleston and Simon Varela, respectively) that digital art - for all the technology involved - simply cannot match. So cheer the movie's accomplishments and heart, but let the astonishing art included here flood your mind. - Premiere -- -, Books about animated movies are rarely artistically accomplished enough to astound.
