The University of Central Oklahoma is sponsoring a talk from Tony DeRose, leader of the Pixar studios research group and creator of the character “Geri“. It’s a free event beginning at 4pm on October 7th.
“The reality is mathematics is essential for modern technology including cell phones, CDs, DVDs and of course, animated movies. It is mathematics that brings the characters you see in the animated films to life,” said Simmons.
DeRose is one of the major designers responsible for the character Geri, who appears in the Oscar winning short film “Geri’s Game,” as well as in “Toy Story II.”
