If u would have asked ask me 15 years ago, Character Animator at Pixar Animation Studios would be a dream job for me. I dont know I always had interest in pixar ever since I stared learning CGI Character Animation from Centennial College, Canada. We had a Joke when we were learning art of animation in digital animation programme where the best projects were tagged as pixar level followed by Dreamworks and Blue Sky and so on. Pixar It was about strange relation of all the big names of pixar and Calarts(California art school). All roads to Pixar goes via Cal-arts.😜
But with few inspiring animators like Bobby “Boom” beck, Carlos Baena, Shawn Kelly (Co-founders of Animation Mentor- One of Leading online animation school and former employees of Pixar) who are crating the new generation of animators and keeping the hopes alive at that point of time.
Talking more about pixar, back in the day, I happened to notice few things which kept on repeating in every Pixar Movie which was never done before. Either this was pixar being lazy and reusing 3d models already created or it was very strategically placed bread crumbs in multiple places as a call back to their previous movies or to tease their upcoming projects. In both the cases, it was a genius move.
Weather it is Ball from Luxor lamp Jr. (their first short film) repeated again n again. Infact the icon duo is a landmark at Pixar Studios in California
Toy Story, Toy Story 2( With luxor lamp Sr.), Monster Inc. (In Boo’s room) continuing to the recent movies like Inside Out In one of the flashbacks of Riley with his imaginary friend Bing Bong.
Thats not all, there are alot of stuff hidden in every pixar movie and short film which will remind you of a character or a prop their previous movies or their forth coming movie.
For instance Pizza place truck can be seen in almost all movies expect The Incradibles.
Thats just one example, These Pixar tradition or Easter eggs are full of hidden stuff and the more you know, the more you go WOW!! , really Pixar is pro recycling 😜
