It was my dream as a little girl to be an animator. I’ve always loved to draw and I’ve been into computers for as long as I can remember which is why I majored in Computer Science with an Art Emphasis in college. I played with all kinds of media, water color, oil and sketches and on the tech side, I learned programming and Photoshop. Some of my college friends had a copy of Maya which is a super cool software package that’s MEGA expensive. I tried to dabble in it but failed and gave up. Then on my most recent Press day at Disney Animation Studios, they gave me a lesson and let me play with Wreck-It Ralph’s body.
So by using Maya, I made him dance. They showed me that with a few shortcut keys I can move different parts of his body in different directions. Clicking brought up some nodes and then I could pick and make slight changes and then I got to watch my work. I LOVED IT. Check out my Ralph dancing:
We did spend the day learning about other things, like digital download that comes with movies. It’s super easy with your DisneyMovieRewards account. If you don’t have one. GET ONE. We also had the opportunity to see the transitions of Ralph. I think I showed you guys that in an older post, but had to bring it up because some of the deleted scenes (and transitions of Ralph) are expected to be on the Blu-ray DVD Combo Pack of Wreck-It Ralph.
It’s with great anticipation that I’m awaiting the Blu-ray DVD Combo Pack of Wreck-It Ralph to come out so I can relive all those sugar filled moments.

Bring home WRECK-IT RALPH on Blu-ray/Combo pack March 5th, 2013!
i did not get to see this in the theater so i cant wait for it to come out on blu ray so the family can watch it.
How fun! I always wanted to do something like that too, but it just blows my mind how intricate it is to actually do!
This looks like a lot of fun! We love Wreck-It Ralph!
I can’t wait until this comes out on video. I’ve always wanted to experiment with animation too.
That is SO very cool. I pride myself on being pretty techy… but this looks a bit over my head lol
That is incredible!!! So cool!
How cool! We still haven’t seen Wreck-It Ralph but it’s on our list when it comes to DVD.
