Walt Disney Animation Studios


This picture was taken on an extremely cool trip to The Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank. Me, and the rest of the cast members from Turtle Talk With Crush got to tour the studio, the Disney Archives and go inside the animation building itself which is off limits to even most cast members. This particular building is the Michael D. Eisner building located at the end of the Disney Legends Plaza. What I enjoy about this photo is the strong sense of source and the ways the light play off of the different parts of the area like on the columns on the right side of the picture. What the light doesn't play off of, which I think works to an advantage, is the main building itself. There is no light creating any shadow on the building, but I think it creates a sense of majesty and groundedness to the structure. And yet there is a lot of light giving the structure detail so you can see what it is. It is as if there are giant imaginary box booms on both sides of the stage with some soft center light. However there also appears to be an imaginary back source light which gives the building that slight "god light" effect which plays very well into the power and stature of the building.
