Abstract:
The wishes of Rosas are a central story device in Disney Animation’s 100th anniversary film “Wish.” Appearing as worlds revealed within magical galaxies living inside palm-sized orbs, the wishes needed to be highly dynamic and deeply dimensional. The film’s art direction required that the internal animation and lighting of the wishes react to external story events and interact with characters, while the narrative required that wishes be choreographed en masse, selectively revealed and concealed while in motion for musical numbers and plot points, and remain identifiable to characters and audiences. The breadth of these requirements, along with a need for scalability in authoring, drove the development of our unified wish asset and shot pipeline.
