“My role is both as a kind of a general contractor to figure out how we’re going to build the visuals for the film, as well as acting as a consultant for the producers and director about what’s the best way to do things, what’s feasible and what would be difficult.” The detail is remarkable “It’s basically all the non-animation departments – we are responsible for the visuals,” Moyer explains. The Supervising Technical Director is in charge of the film’s nine main departments (except for animation), including characters, environments, global technology, simulation, crowds, lighting, and rendering. The audience is also introduced to Forky, a spork that has been made into a toy, and Bo re-appears, as Andy’s ‘special friend’ having not been seen in ST3.īob Moyer was the Supervising Technical Director on Toy Story 4, which on a Pixar film such as this is the closest being the film’s VFX supervisor. Toy Story 4 (ST4) continues the saga, picking up from the end of TS3 where Woody and Buzz, along with their other toy friends, have found new appreciation after being given by Andy to Bonnie.
