<\/a>Animation World Network takes readers behind the scenes of Pixar’s latest short<\/a>, Day & Night, with exclusive images, videos and more!<\/p>\n

In AWN<\/span>’s recent article, director Teddy Newton introduces us to the unique and ambitious concept. The short was actually born from gags centered around a keyhole, believe it or not, but the journey it has taken through production is the true wonder.<\/p>\n

Although Newton’s pitch got off the ground relatively quickly (Lasseter green lit it almost immediately), the challenges associated with making Day & Night a reality were immense. Pixar’s struggle was finding a way for 3D CGI<\/span> interior worlds to work within 2D animated characters — something that had never really been done before. This graphic<\/a> breaks down the layers used to create the short’s one-of-a-kind effects.<\/p>\n

Of course, Teddy and co. were ultimately successful, but for the team to get to this point, crucial animation tests had to be created. Watch the 2D walk cycle here<\/a> and the 3D test here<\/a>. Anaglyph (red and blue) glasses are required to view the full effect of the latter video.<\/p>\n

As one of my all time favorite shorts, I can tell you that all of the hard work behind Day & Night’s production payed off. I didn’t realize how tough it was to create, though. Give the article a thorough read<\/a> for the full story.<\/p>\n

You can see Day & Night in theatres with Toy Story 3 when it’s released on June 18th. Remember to check it out in 3D!
