- Sound Design by Ben Burtt - 26Describe animorphic cinematography.1. characteristic mode of widescreen cinema in 50-70s
2. animorphic lenses produce characteristic forms of optial distortion
3. Required pixar to create new algorithms
3. Barrel(curved) distortion, spiked lens flares( give camera shape), erratic zoom - 27Describe how pixar created new algorithms for wall-e- Pixar's widescreen movies had always been scope extractions
- And used nodal cameras ( mounted so as to pan/tilt at the optical center of the lens. Produced parallax. Pixar's virtual cameras have always been nodal - 28Describe how Pixar's ode to past cinama.1. widescreen
