5 Random Life Lessons I Learned At Pixar — Sutro 1. We. Not I. One of the things I'll always remember, is that there was this feeling of being part of a team, almost like belonging to the same family. Yes, we had some fights, and sometimes we'd annoy each other at breakfast or Thanksgiving dinner, but there was this sense of respect, admiration, and true genuine friendship between all of us working there. Not only on a work level, but also on a personal level. I'll never forget that. 2. One of the most unforgettable moments of my time at Pixar, was the day I met Steve Jobs. I was coming in to work along the beautiful path at the entrance of the main building, where the roses bloom in ways I've never seen before in the Spring. But then he opens the door of the main building, which is now actually called The Steve Jobs Building, and he stops. My only thought is: "Shit. Until I get to the door, completely nervous (and it's not easy to make me nervous). I look at Steve and simply say Thank You. 3. We're all trying to figure it out. 4. 5.
Mental health break: Ingenious stop-motion Coursekit is now Lore. What’s the Story? Art & Design Mental health break: Ingenious stop-motion animation made entirely of office supplies by Guillaume Blanchet – a lovely addition to this compendium of office supply art. (via Colossal) #stop-motion#animation#art 272 notes Pixar’s Ed Catmull Emerges As Central Figure In The Wage-Fixing Scandal Ed Catmull. (Photo-illustration.) Pixar and Disney Animation president Ed Catmull has always had a reputation as a decent person, but newly revealed court documents show that he’s been working against the interests of Pixar’s employees for years, as well as trying to hurt other animation studios who didn’t play by his rules. Catmull’s deposition and emails from the lawsuit confirm that he was instrumental in operating a secret wage-theft cartel that violated the Sherman Antitrust Act. Pando Daily’s Mark Ames published a piece about the documents earlier this week. Catmull’s attempts to bring Sony into his cartel are documented in today’s piece. He flew to Los Angeles in 2004 to meet with Sony’s animation co-presidents Penney Finkelman Cox and Sandy Rabins and pressure them to fix their employees’ wages and limit career opportunities. Catmull, however, didn’t forget. “Just this last week, we did have a recruiter working for ILM [Lucasfilm] approach some of our people.
Creative Compulsive Disorder: Remembering Zina Nicole Lahr This short clip about artist and maker Zina Nicole Lahr may be as tragic as it is beautiful. Earlier this fall Lahr approached her friend Stormy Pyeatte and asked if they might shoot a quick video for her portfolio. The video was shot and edited in just two days and demonstrates Lahr’s insatiable desire to build, invent, and “bring life to something inanimate,” a process she called her “creative compulsive disorder.” Almost unthinkably, Lahr was killed in a hiking accident in Colorado on November 20th, a few weeks after this was shot. I didn’t know Lahr, but if this brief glimpse into her life is any indicator it’s clear she possessed an extremely rare spirit that feels completely genuine and infectious.
Brave Pixars extraordinary run of successful films starring male characters took a courageous turn in June with the release of Disney/Pixar’s 13th feature, Brave, the studio’s first princess film. The conflict in this feature centers on the relationship between Merida, a young “don’t wannabe a princess,” and her mother, the elegant Queen Elinor. Merida inherited her father’s fiery character along with his flaming red hair, rather than her mother’s calm demeanor. She would rather be outdoors riding her horse, rock climbing, and practicing archery like Fergus, her father, than studying to be a princess and meeting her pre-ordained destiny—marriage to the son of a rival clan leader. With a fairy-tale setting in medieval Scotland amidst lush landscapes and kilt-wearing clans, and a fairy-tale plot that includes a tricky witch, a spell that must be undone, and plenty of action-adventure along the way, Brave enters new territory for the studio. All the code executed at render time.
NOW AND THEN: Paper Crafts « Decor Arts Now By Lynn Byrne. How cool are these dresses! They are constructed of paper! Earlier that weekend, I stumbled across this display up in Stamford. What are those things hanging on the wall in the back of the booth? Then there was the David Stark pop up paper store at West Elm last spring. Paper crafts are having a moment. Of course, people have been crafting with paper for centuries. Photo from the California State Univ.website (no photographer credit) The blog Style Hive posted this collage showing orgami-inspired fashion and home furnishings (note ottoman in bottom left) back in 2007, but in this instance, the paper craft is interpreted with fabric! Back in Victorian times, many families decorated their trees with paper ornaments. Photo from Family Christmas Online Finally, since we are talking about paper crafts, I can’t forget the fabulous Mrs. Are you ready to get crafty?

Houses Made of Books | BOOK RIOTHouses Made of Books Livio De Marchi is a bonkers-talented Venetian woodworker and sculptor who has created- wait for it- ENTIRE HOUSES made of hand-carved book sculptures. There’s one in Tambre D’Alpago, Italy, Germany, and Japan, and every aspect of the houses are book-themed. The chair looks like book leather and binding, and the dining “furniture” is…BOOKS. Another view of the dining room table and the “book” shelves. Of course you walk through reading glasses to get to it. See more at the artist’s website! And your bookshelves can’t deny. hollywoodreporter A version of this story first appeared in the Nov. 27 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. To receive the magazine, click here to subscribe. Even with framed cartoons on his walls, Ed Catmull's office on the Pixar Animation Studios campus in Emeryville, Calif., is downright bland compared to the museum of toy trains, trucks and memorabilia that is John Lasseter's space down the hall. Catmull, a Utah-born scientist and pioneer in computer graphics who began his career at Lucasfilm before launching Pixar Animation Studios with Steve Jobs and Lasseter in 1986, often is described as the brains of the operation, while Lasseter is the heart. With Inside Out and Good Dinosaur, Pixar is releasing two films in a year for the first time. In truth, it has been challenging. You delayed Good Dinosaur a year to retool it. They completely trust that we're doing the right thing for the film and for the studio. How much pressure do you get from Disney to make more sequels? But it is more costly.
