Hey everyone. My school (CSUF) had a special presentation of Pixar's upcoming Inside Out featuring the art director from the movie that came from Emeryville to talk about the production. Unfortunately students were not allowed to take photos of the artwork made for the film (it was goregous fyi) but at least I drew down these sketches of many people on my sketchbook showcasing that the place was pretty packed. It was like Comic-Con all over again :D
I'll be brief and summarize what happened during the 1-hour panel
4/14/15
-1:50pm: Art director arrives, Albert Lonazo. He worked on movies Monsters Inc., Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Uo.
-1:52: Montage showing studio life at Pixar
-1:56: Inside Out director. Same dude that did Up.
-2:00-Describing the protagonist of the Riley. Created after the directo's own daughter.
-Introducing the characters: Joy, Anger, Disgust,Sa, and Fear.
-2:09- Describing the world of the movie (with more goregous art)
-2:11- A funny scene from the movie.
-2:18- Explaining over the famous Pixar's story process. New ideas pop up and are revised. Repeats. Ideas are pitched again and again.
-2:22- Going into DETAILS... DETAILS... DETAILS... D...E...T...A...I...L...S...
- 2:28- HOLY SHIT- We got to see the first seven minutes of the movie.
-2:35- Q&A (I asked a question. His response were interesting.)
-3:17- Talked about the story internship. End of session.
It was a great event and I hoped you enjoy this little journal. Btw, my short film's finished. Making last minute editing and will be premiering at the school's film festival this May.
