Check Out the New Cars 3 Trailer and PIXAR IN A BOX Animation Tutorials! #Cars3Event #PixarinaBox

While in San Francisco for an all-expenses paid trip for a special Cars 3 Event with Disney Pixar and Sonoma Raceway, I was treated to an extra special presentation focusing on the PIXAR IN A BOX program. Now, don’t feel bad if you’re a Disney Pixar fan and you’ve never heard of it – because I hadn’t until I watched a presentation in 2016. It’s a super cool program and I really wish that more people knew about it…so here I am!

So what exactly IS PIXAR IN A BOX?

Disney Pixar really wanted to bring people at home a way to learn more about design and programming that makes everyone’s favorite animated movies, and they came up with this amazing plan…create a FREE home-based learning system that teaches how math & artistry work together in digital animation!

While this is a perfect system for young people, it’s also a pretty cool way for adults to see how you can code and program graphics that go into making animated movies…while I must admit that I had a hard time following along at first – math is NOT my forte – even I was able to grasp the concept once I saw it in action.

There are tutorials available FOR FREE – that’s right, an entirely free catalog – on Khan Academy, and it’s one of those systems where you can do individual lessons, or create an account and work your way through the catalog, one lesson at a time. Can you see where I am going with this? Think homeschooling lessons, coops and home-led learning – the sky is really the limit with this kind of resource!

You can learn how to do everything from creating special effects, make animated patterns, rigging PIXAR IN A BOX is an amazing resource for people kids, teens and adults who wants to explore the world of animation!
