Abstract

"Toy Story" is the first full length feature film produced entirely using the technology of computer animation. The main characters, Sheriff Woody and Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear, are toys that come to life when humans aren't around. Their story is one of rivalry, challenges, teamwork and redemption. Making this film required four years of effort, from writing the story and script, to illustrated storyboards, through modeling, animation, lighting, rendering, and filming. This paper examines various processes involved in producing the film.
