This does reflect the fact that some adult collectors become hugely fixated on their bears. I know of one woman who has more than 1, bears; another lady had to build an extension on her Florida home to accommodate her collection.
Others — and not just children — like to take their bears with them everywhere they go. We even make teddy-bear passports so that they can take their bears away with them on holiday, and get the immigration stamps to prove it.
Even those of us who are less obsessive can relate to the fact that Ted is still an important part of the adult John's life. When you give a child a bear, they tend to keep it for the rest of their days.
I have a bear, Grey Ted, that I've had since I was little, and we get letters from people who were given one of our bears in the s, and kept it with them ever since — even through wartime. There's a lot more to this film than just cheap gags; it reminds us what a bear can really mean to people.
We also used chrome balls, shot a color chart and used a Civetta camera for the HDRs, which we could also shoot in two different positions and use for photogrammetry. If Ted was sitting on a couch or bouncing a bed, the reference pass would also include some physical interaction. I would poke the lounge or sheets or whatever he would deform, and try and poke it with the same amount of weight he would give. We could use that as reference or extract the area and use it in a comp.
For one series of shots in which Ted has a play punching fight with his long-time owner and friend John Mark Wahlberg , the on-set interaction required Clark to jab the actor with the rods as reference. But this was nothing, in terms of what Clark had to do to Wahlberg, compared to a later scene in which Ted and John have a fight in a hotel room.
Ted as a digital character was in some ways a deceptively simple exercise for the Tippett and Iloura artists. In fact, at Tippett, our first renders were a little bit creepy because the fur was too realistic and too coarse. It needed to be that synthetic fake fur, so trying to get the recipe right was a little challenging.
Tippett and Iloura, which do have different effects pipelines, were able to work together to swap and match their bear animations and renders just as reference, even down to the worn spots on Ted. Each studio also had a slightly different fur set-up but ultimately produced similar passes for comp. Then on top of that was all the direct lights on the hair shader itself — back scattering and specularity.
The Beanie Baby craze began in the mids due to the company's deliberate strategy of scarcity , limiting the quantity of each new design, reported NY Post. The Beanie Baby obsession lasted through and slowly declined when Ty, Inc. The popularity of the bear lead to many plush versions sold online and in Disney stores.
