The color script is started towards the very beginning of pre-production and isn’t finished until lighting for the movie is finalized. Dice Tsutsumi said, “The color script sets the tone of the film: how color and atmosphere and lighting will carry the story and the characters throughout the film”. He was in charge of creating the color script for the movie, which consists of dozens of impressionistic paintings plotting out the general emotional arc of the movie through the use of color and lighting (check out part of his color script here). With Toy Story 3 the brilliant art director Dice Tsutsumi took the helms of this beloved franchise and gave us a pallet of colors unmatched in animation. The goal isn’t to be subtle with the colors, but rather use color to drive the emotional arc of the movie. Instead, each scene usually consists of one to three key colors to establish an atmosphere. The colors are usually extremely saturated and there are few scenes where you see the whole gambit of the color wheel. Toy Story has had a distinct pallet from the beginning. Let’s talk about the color pallet used to tell the story of Toy Story 3. From the refined Pixar storytelling skills to the huge advancements in technology Toy Story 3 was able to expand its universe while keeping a firm grasp on what made the first two films so loved by the first generation of Toy Story fans. Simply put, Pixar was running on all cylinders when they made this film. And, though you could make an argument Toy Story 3 is a little repetitive and less original then the first two movies, I think the film stands out as the most visually bold film of the trilogy. I personally think Toy Story 3 is a fantastic completion of a wonderful trilogy. ![]()
