Creating the Web’s Wide World in Ralph Breaks the Internet #RalphBreakstheInternetEvent

 

While out in LA for the #ChristopherRobinEvent, we visited Walt Disney Animation Studios for #RalphBreaksTheInternetEvent presentations and learned all about how the teams came together to make this amazing movie.

Josie Trinidad (Head of Story), Jason Hand (Story Artist) and Natalie Nourigat (Story Artist), explain the unique roles that the story team played not only in developing a new adventure for Ralph and Vanellope, but also in envisioning the ever-evolving world of the internet

While listening to their presentation, it was evident that collaboration is key to the success of a movie.  Jason Hand shared that they are always trying to find best idea.  “If it’s not working throw it out and try something different.”

When thinking of Internet concepts, they looked at memes and viral video.  Natalie Nourigat shared the process of how some of the Internet choices began to seem more mean than funny and that the Meme Generator seemed to be a better fit.

Serious numbers to Consider for Creation of Ralph Breaks the Internet

  • 15 story artists
  • 10 screenings
  • 45 total sequences
  • 153 total sequences boarded
  • 7883 total sequences versions
  • 283939 total storyboards

I was in awe of these numbers and the amount of choices that need to be made to come up with the final product.

THE WEB’S WIDE WORLD – Matthias Lechner (Art Director, environments), Larry Wu (Head of Environments) and Ernie Petti (Technical Supervisor) talk about the daunting task of turning the abstract concept of the internet into a complex, thriving metropolis.

After a visit to One Wilshire Boulevard in downtown LA, the ideas began to flow. This building houses all internet connections where Internet Wires and servers that connect the world.  The building is wires and boxes that inspired what the internet might look like.

Larry Wu shared that they wanted the Internet to have a  metropolis feel.  Ernie Petti explained that they needed to populate 1000s of buildings and find new innovative ways to handle the amount of sheer stuff.

Ralph Breaks the Internet: LAYOUT – During the layout phase, layout artists determine approximately where the characters will be positioned and how they will move in a given scene. They also establish where the virtual cameras will be placed. This effort helps directors bring storyboards into the CG environment, while narrowing down the infinite possibilities a scene presents. Animators begin their efforts with layout, adding detailed character performance along the way.

Ralph Breaks the Internet: LIGHTING – Lighting is among the final stages of shot production in animation, though the lighting department is integral to the look of the film as production gets underway. Lighting artists can place individual lights within a scene, but for a scene as big as the one in which Ralph and Vanellope visit the internet for the first time, technology is utilized to place multiples of similar lights—like those on a building, for example—creating a more efficient process for dealing with a massive and diverse number of light sources. Brian Leach is the director of cinematography, lighting for “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” which opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 21, 2018. ©2018 Disney. All Rights Reserved.

In addition to the many stages of lighting that brought life to the Internet world we see, we also found out that there are so many Easter eggs in this movie.  There are  little hidden jokes everywhere.

Advice for Our Younger Generations:  Draw as much as you can. Intern in an animation studio. If you like animation, you can go to art school or you can have a science background.

The type of work needed to create such an amazing place is a marriage of art and technology. When these backgrounds come together, groundbreaking work occurs.

 

POPULATING THE INTERNET – Cory Loftis (Production Designer), Dave Komorowski (Head of Characters and Technical Animation), Renato dos Anjos (Head of Animation) and Moe El-Ali (Crowds’ Supervisor) explore the process of creating the inhabitants of the internet, from the “Netizens” to the “Net Users”

In this new movie, the characters are enhanced and richer. You will see wrinkles in clothes and the skin looks more lifelike.

Who is KnowsMore?

Ask Jeeves like KnowsMore is a mascot of his own website. At first, they played around with what he should look like.  Maybe a  Lightbulb? They went with professor.

At the end of our time together, Renato dos Anjos, Head of Animation, said, “I think Walt would be proud.”

I would have to say I truly agree!

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
