Yup, you read right. I got to visit Pixar. Squeee!! <\/p>\n

I was invited by Anthony Christov, who teaches some classes at CCA and just happened to be the Art Director (sets) for Wall-e<\/em>. Intially, it was for a visit on Friday but of course that wasn’t possible so Steve and Erica wrangled it for Thursday. I didn’t get to see too much as much of the place is a closed set as they’re still working on Toy Story 3<\/em> but I did get to peek into the dailies room and their theatre. We had to be super quiet when we peeked into the theatre as a video link to a recording studio was in process, meaning scoring for something was going on.<\/p>\n

Down one hallway, a bunch of art had been hung from Up!<\/em> which was amazing to look at. All the character development, texture work and marquettes. Just magic! It would’ve been great to see animators at work but it was a privilege simply to be there.<\/p>\n

The building itself is quite remarkable. The main foyer is enormous which adds to a sensation of openness and space. The cafe is located there and we were there right on lunchtime so the place was humming with conversation. Mostly it just made me wish I was a much more talented artist so I could work in a place like that. The atmosphere of the place was one of a great place to work.<\/p>\n

I think I look awful in these photos but I’m putting them up anyway!<\/p>\n

\"049\"
\nThe Incredibles family.<\/p>\n

\"050\"
\nI was doing the pose but I felt stupid so I stopped before Steve could take the photo.<\/p>\n

\"051\"
\nSteve is apparently quite happy about the upcoming release of Toy Story 3<\/em>. Terrible framing by me on this photo.<\/p>\n

\"052\"
\nSteve, Erica and I.<\/p>\n

\"053\"
\nSquee! Mike and Sulley.<\/p>\n

\"054\"
\nI really wanted to pat Sulley but I’m fairly certain that would’ve gotten me booted out of the studio.<\/p>\n

\"055\"
\nLuxo!<\/p>\n

\"056\"
\nMore Luxo. I bought myself a Luxo keyring which is the ball. Very cute.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo… it’s time for me to check in for my flight so I can finally ditch my suitcase that I’ve been lugging around for hours now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
