Out of
Picture: Art From the Outside Looking In - Volume 1 is a set of
eleven short stories by Blue Sky Studio artists. The term "out of
picture" is a film term that whatever it is has been cut out of the
picture, often referred to as "OOPed."
Blue Sky Studio is a relatively
new studio and has released some very successful computer animated films
like Ice Age and Robots.
In this case, the artists of Blue Sky Studio
were approached to create short stories never intended for film, but
just to be what they are . . . fun little pieces of imagination. The
artists at first took it lightly, and then once they saw what some of
their fellow artists were coming up with, they synched down their belts
and the competition really began. The results speak for themselves.
The
book is composed of eleven short stories. Some are full and complete
while others leave you hanging wondering what is to come. Some are
penciled, some are inked, some are hand-painted . . . all are wonderful.
In the back of the book is a large section on how the stories were
developed with early images. Following that is a section on Artist
Biographies with a picture of each of the artists.
