3 unusual facts about Proof of concept


Proof of concept

Similarly, Pixar created several short films as proofs of concept for new techniques for water motion, sea anemone tentacles, and a slowly appearing whale in preparation for the production of Finding Nemo.

Their short film Geri's Game used techniques for animation of cloth and of human facial expressions later used in Toy Story 2.

Pixar sometimes creates short animated films that use a difficult or untested technique.
