Last week, I was invited by OMY.sg to the PIXAR Exhibition tour at Science Centre. Previously, Jaslin had actually asked if I'm interested in going for it but we called it off due to the expensive entrance fee of $24. So when I got this invitation, I asked Jaslin to join me. =) When I was on my way to the science centre, my stupid shoes broke off, so I had to buy a new one. And that almost made me late for the exhibition. But yeah, we caught up fortunately. =)

I'm glad I did come for this exhibition. After all, Singapore is PIXAR's last exhibition station in Asia. That means I may never get another chance to watch it again if I miss this chance. Furthermore, as representatives of OMY bloggers, we were allowed to take as many videos and photos we want. Now, tats really a special priviledge! Haha.. =)

The Tour guide showed us 2 highlights of the exhibition. 1 of which is a huge model of many TOY STORY characters statues, all looked similar but with small differences in their movements. When the lights went dim, and the model starts to rotate faster and faster, it gave us an illusion that all these characters have turned alive! With the background music and action sounds, it seems really realistic. For the 2nd highlight, we were brought into a dark room to watch a movie clip. The clip consist of many of PIXAR's most successful movies such as Toy Story, CARS, UP, Finding Nemo, Monster INC, WALL E, etc... It brought us into each of their world, and gives us a deeper understanding of how the producers design and work on the backgrounds, characters and story plots. I was deeply amazed that the producers were so detailed with their work such that every pots and pans (in Ratatouille) and every single fishes (in Finding Nemo) had their specific file name and unique designs. Perhaps that is one reason why it can be so successful.

I've also learnt quite a lot of things.. haha.. Do you know PIXAR exist as early as 1979 and it once belongs to the Apple founder Steve Jobs? And it's suprising to see the rough sketches of characters for those award-winning animation movies. Some really seems like the drawings of a 3 year old... wahaha..
.
Well, overall it's a worthwhile trip for me (yeah, of course, it's free anyway!) But if you were to ask me pay 20plus bucks to look at a few original sketches, movie clips and clay doughs? Most probably not.
