UP - the ride

I love my job! Where else do you go into work in the morning and look up to see a blimp next to a guy in a sofa chair being lifted by balloons. 

Today the press got their first glimpse of 'UP' at Pixar. Sure hope they liked it!

Bald is Beautiful

Toy Story 3 Animation has officially begun. After the wrap party for UP Saturday night, Animation decided to get a fresh start on Monday. We shaved our heads and beards - then letting it grow until animation wraps. Im not looking forward to this itchy beard!

From time to time - i'll post a pic to show my hair growing skills.

Supervising Animators Bobby and Mike do the honors

TS3 Animation - with our fearless director, Lee Unkrich

Mystery Men

I love working at PIXAR. Where else do you get to watch a movie at lunch time - then meet the cast and crew after.
Mystery Men - hopefully coming to a theatre near you!

Back to School

Yep, you heard it right - im going back to college. 

I've started teaching at AnimationMentor - a online animation school. When I heard the word 'online' school, I was a bit skeptical. After cruising the campus, watching some of the lectures, and talking to some of the students - im sold! Online is the future. You get taught by professionals working in the field and  you get more personal attention reviewing your assignments. I wish I had this available when I was starting out.
