Abstract:
Traditional patternmaking techniques have evolved to fit typically proportioned humans. Although these techniques have proven useful in altering patterns to fit characters in previous computer-animated films, the design of the characters in Up necessitated exaggerated alterations. The extremely caricatured characters were born of simple geometric shapes — a boy as a circle, an old man as a square, and a lady as an hourglass. Understanding the characters’ designs determined the appropriate pattern alteration techniques and how they would need to be exaggerated for each garment.
