The Story
Mr. Incredible is a former super-hero-turned-insurance agent, who comes out of forced retirement to confront a mysterious and deadly menace. But Mr. Incredible (or "Bob" to his friends and co-workers) isn't going into battle alone this time. To save the world from this deadly threat, Mr. Incredible is joined by his wife, the fantastically flexible Elastigirl - their insecure-and occasionally invisible-daughter, Violet - and super-fast son, Dash. The whole clan is outfitted in newly-designed, matching super suits (but no capes, please). Despite their dysfunction and their differences, the Incredibles now stand united as a fearless team of super-powered hero's-and as a family.
The Artwork
This limited-edition giclee is inspired by a scene from Pixar's The Incredibles (2004). The action-comedy started with director bard Bird's love of pop culture. The film is "an amalgam...It's spy movies, it's adventure films, it's comic books and TV shows. And that crossbred with my own experiences with the family I grew up with and the family that I now have with my wife." Bird first dreamed up the story that would become The Incredibles when his own son was still a baby. At the time, bird was a writer on the animated TV series The Simpsons juggling the demands of being both a husband and father. That struggle became the underlying theme of The Incredibles. It's about loving your work and loving your family and trying to find that balance between the tow. So, underneath the action-packed heroics, The Incredibles is a story about human beings – a type of character that Pixar had only undertaken with briefly-seen supporting players. "The animators here at Pixar are absolutely concerned about making the characters feel alive," said Bird. "And that's different than reproducing reality. I don't think anybody here is interested in reproducing reality. They're interested in reproducing believability." And part of creating believable characters was mastering the subtle nuance of human hair and skin.
"Skin is tough," explains Bird, "because there is pigment underneath the surface of the skin. And we always wondered why the computer basically wants to make everything look plastic. So we didn't want the skin to look plastic, and we kept trying to figure out what it is." The secret, the Incredibles team discovered, was a phenomenon known as subsurface scattering. "Light penetrates the skin and hits blood and things underneath it," explains Bird. The resulting reflection creates a subtle yet luminous glow within human skin. "We have it in this fild, and it's a very subtle effect, but I think that it makes all the difference." These comically-caricatured humans mark a super new milestone for Pixar and the art of computer-generated animation.
In addition, the paper giclee includes a reproduction of the original story sketch that was used to create this moment from the super story of a super family is included, along with the official The Incredibles logo.
