Toy Story (1995) | "Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger" Storyboard Reel #Pixar #Disney #toystory #toystory30 youtube.com/watch?v=I7YnjU…
The "Woody's Roundup" sequence from Toy Story 2 was storyboarded by the talented Bud Luckey, Dan Jeup, and myself #story #storyboarding #toystory #pixar #toystory2 #Disney youtube.com/watch?v=DQ0GfR…
Our original version for the opening sequence in Toy Story 3 was a spaghetti western parody. We later changed our minds because we wanted the beginning of the film to be more exciting and from the imagination of Andy as he played with his toys. Art by Bud Luckey! #toystory #pixar




While working on Toy Story 2 one of the sequences I developed & storyboarded was transforming Hamm, the toy piggy bank, into the evil Dr. Porkchop, and when Woody’s arm gets torn during playtime. Here are some of my gag/development drawings. #story #storyboarding #toystory #pixar



Toy Story Concept Art by Ralph Eggleston. Ralph used pastels on 4.5" x 6" board. Eggleston joined Pixar as an Art Director in 1992 during the development of Toy Story. His work on Toy Story won him an Annie Award for Best Art Direction! #Pixar #Disney #ToyStory #animation

Happy Earth Month from the cute but deadly Sprites from Sprite Fright on YouTube produced by Blender Studios! The inspiration for the leader of the Sprites was Papa Smurf, Woodsy the Owl, Striper from Gremlins...and me. Early dev art of Elder Sprite by Ricky Nierva!




Hayao Miyazaki found early inspiration in two films: Disney’s 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and the 1957 The Snow Queen. Other films that inspired Miyazaki in his childhood, were Meshi (1951), Tasogare Sakaba (1955), and Panda and the Magic Serpent (1958) #ghibli #disney

Some of my color Beat Boards on Toy Story 3. Beat Boards are very useful to plan out scenes, sequences, plot, act structure, or character goals for a script. #toystory #toystory3 #cinematography #story #pixar #disney #writing
