LEGO Toy Story - Episode 3: Bear on the Lam . Third in a series of Toy Story stop-motion shorts created for LEGO by Paganomation in early 2010. . Client: LEGO/Disney/Pixar Release Date: October 28, 2010 This is the third and final LEGO Toy Story episode we created here at Paganomation for LEGO.com in 2010. More concept art and storyboards by Sarah Wickliffe helped flesh out this episode at the start. This episode required the most original building out of all of the Toy Story shorts. The setting was the first thing to figure out -- at first, we weren't even sure where this episode was going to take place! Toy Story 3 hadn't come out yet when we were working on these shorts, and so all the information about the film's locations was kept under extremely tight lock and key (we were lucky enough to get some trash compactor concept art for episode 2). We eventually settled on the backyard of the day care center from the film, using the film's poster and a few shots from the trailer as reference. The other main thing that needed to be designed by us from scratch was the jail cell. The end of the short sees a collision between the Pizza Planet Truck, the Army Patrol jeep, and Lotso's Dump Truck. Jeff Wallenhorst took on the task of designing the jail using parts from all of those sets, adding only the antennae for cell bars. The design of the jail cell didn't end there -- we also needed to have it essentially build itself around the villains in the last shot of the short. Animator Mick Bouschor helped with that, and we used a combination of live animation and masking to complete the effect. For the driving scenes, we used techniques we had also employed in the fifth Max episode, creating a looping backdrop that give the effect of the vehicles racing all around the yard. This may have been the most technically challenging episode of the series, not to mention the most demanding design-wise. But it all came together in the end -- just like the jail cell around Lotso and company. Ha!
