Restored: Animation Thumbnails and Caricatures

Back when I accidentally changed the template of my blog, a few of my page links got lost.  Those included my collections of animation thumbnails and caricatures.  I've just moved all these images to Flickr and added the links back to the page.

Brave behind-the-scenes footage

Here's what appears to be a random collection of b-roll footage from the production of Pixar's next feature:


No spoilers in here, but you do get a peak at our animation software.  We're looking forward to our company wrap party this weekend at a secret location, and the movie premieres on June 22nd.  I'm just as curious as you to see how it's turned out!

Anim C summer session


Just a quick plug for the Animation Collaborative, a learning space for animators and artists in Emeryville, CA, right across the street from Pixar.  It's an intimate environment with small class sizes, and it's a great place to learn from working professionals.  I teach there, as well as some of my fellow Pixarians, and they're now accepting applications for their summer workshops.  Classes include Animation Critique, Story, Character Design, and an Intensive Demo/Lecture workshop.  Check out their web site for more info.
