Pixar Exhibition Singapore
If all of you are interested in animation, I would recommend a visit to the Singapore Science Centre. Not only would you be able to experience a solar eclipse this weekend, you would also be able to dive into the wonders of how animation is being created, from the concept to storyboarding to the final end product. So drop your appointments and head down to the Science Centre for a fun-filled day with your significant other, friends or loved ones.
Pixar Animation Studios are currently holding an exhibition named Pixar: 20 Years of Animation, where it looks into the art and technology behind 20 years of pushing the limits of animators. The works of creators of masterpieces such as Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, A Bug’s Life, Wall-E, Cars, The Incredibles, Up and Ratatouille are displayed. If you have opted for the admission fee which includes a 3D movie, it would be a choice of either Toy Story 1, 2 or Up. For various card holders, there may be discounts, such as the Passion card, NTUC card and Safra card. My friend and I went with the Passion card which is much cheaper than just the exhibition itself and admits us into the main building of the Science Centre, which puts us back $18 each, plus we were able to catch the interesting Tesla Coil presentation!
The efforts put into designing the animation are more than commendable. They are of great quality and obviously, revealed the painstaking work behind the scenes of a simple movie. A standard movie takes about 4 years and 60000 storyboards before they appear on our big screens. The unique exhibition will end in Singapore as their last stop and return back to California. Such an opportunity is not to be missed as we are sure, it would not return to Southeast Asia anytime soon.
Also, be one of the few people to witness static 3D. What do I mean? How about watching 3D movies without the glasses?
