![]() ![]() For example, one is San Fruttuoso, which is a famous abbey, a beautiful place that we definitely took a lot of reference from. So, you can see why people would think an octopus can definitely walk out and ring the bell. I always found it fascinating, but you visit the place and the bell and the church is right on the sea. “There is a wonderful town that is right next to La Spezia that has a legend of a helpful octopus that rang the bell when the pirates were coming. Casarosa explains his fascination with the legend of an octopus, dragons, and a Kraken. Many cultures have folktales or lore that speak to reasons why things are the way they are, and for the sea monsters in Luca, it’s no different. Inspiration for the mythical creatures came from many different sources. Ultimately, we didn’t want that to be true of either side.” So, I think that was also part of them not looking like monsters. And if they get to know each other more and appreciate each other for what they are and what they can learn from each other, they’ll discover they aren’t monsters. I think that is a part of the theme of the film. “Both sides kind of refer to the other as ‘monsters.’ The humans say they’re sea monsters, and the sea creatures say, you know, they’re land monsters. The themes will speak to kids and adults now more than ever. Producer Andrea Warren shared that sea monsters are also part of the bigger themes of the film. There’s definitely one scary sea monster, but that one, which you might’ve seen in the 30 minutes with Uncle Ugo, the one that we wanted to make as scary as possible to make it as dreadful as possible for Luca to have to go with him.” I love the idea of that, for example, Luca’s all eyes because he’s curious. I was thinking a little more about their characteristics. I think it’s a bit of a preference, and I thought that it could still be fantastical, but appealing. “I guess it’s just not my sensibility, to be honest, to go to something truly, truly scary. When asked about the act of making these sea creatures less scary and more colorful, Casarosa explained: Don’t know about you, but sea monsters learning Italian is a fantastic idea. While Pixar has introduced us to monsters on land, Luca will be our first experience with sea monsters. ![]() For him, they represent so many new possibilities. Vespas are prominent in Luca’s experience on land. But that is kind of the connection that I had. And so, I always loved that side of it, that it’s a bit silly. And so, the idea that we can ride into the sunset and live on a Vespa, it’s perfectly great. I do like that it’s kind of preposterous in some way ’cause kids come up with these wild ideas, you know. “It just felt like such a great symbol of freedom in this silliness. Director Casarosa gave some insight into his connection with Vespas. Luca and Alberto are all about the Vespas. Who doesn’t love a good scooter ride? Vespas are in every way Italian culture. Moments from the footage that stood out the most include a wild and farfetched love of Vespas, the introduction to Sea Monsters, and the fictional town of Porto Rosso. Taking cues from director Casarosa’s personal experiences, Luca is an Italian cultural experience. The film is directed by Enrico Casarosa ( La Luna) and stars Jacob Tremblay ( Room), Jack Dylan Grazer ( It, 2017), Maya Rudolph ( Bridesmaids), Giacomo Gianniotti ( Grey’s Anatomy), Jim Gaffigan ( Troop Zero), and Emma Berman.īased on the 30 minutes of footage and a cool media presentation we were able to see, Luca is gearing up to introduce audiences to life in the Italian Riviera. The animated feature is a coming-of-age story about a young boy experiencing the summer of a lifetime with gelato, pasta, Vespas, and his newfound best friend, Alberto. Luca is set in a beautifully vibrant seaside town on the Italian Riviera. We have been to space with Wall-E, the Great Barrier Reef with Nemo, Scotland with Merida, France with Remy, Mexico with Miguel, New York with Joe, and even the mind of a teenage girl with Joy. You should be able to get much smoother motion using Bézier curves.Pixar has taken us to some fantastic places. If you look at how these values map, you can see something that looks We get this nice curve thatĮases out of the first pose, and ramps down to the second one. These handles that let us control the shape of the I also mentioned them in the first video. These kinds of functions made up of Bézier curves are called splines. This is named after a FrenchĮngineer, Pierre Bézier, who invented this method to describe the smooth curves needed Or drawing software, you've probably used BézierĬurves without even knowing it. Instead of linear interpolation, we can use something called Bézier curves. It's still a lot of work to get something that looks smooth. In order to get smooth motion, you ended up having to pose the ball in pretty much every frame. (air ship whines) - You probably noticed that ![]()
