PIXAR STUDIOS!

I was reading through some of the online New York Times articles on film and culture, and I came across some cool videos that pertain to motion design and animation. The one I chose for this post is "A Rare Look Inside Pixar Studios" which I found at http://www.nytimes.com/video/movies/1248069625002/a-rare-look-inside-pixar-studios.html?playlistId=1194811668553

I thought some of you Pixar fans might appreciate this short video in which The Carpetbagger's show host gets a tour of Pixar studios. I definitely enjoyed watching it. It was extremely informative and somewhat mind-blowing! I can't even imaging how cool it would be to work there! Can you imagine working somewhere that creates the most high tech animations anywhere? Where there are huge budgets and all of the latest technologies? And, the designers go through all of the same basic processes that we do, from sketchbooks, to critiques, to proofs and revisions and revisions and revisions...

I'm sure it's a super fun but also stressful job, and the employees are supplied with all kinds of stress-relieving activities, such as ping pong and Foosball and probably much more. (When I worked at Wolfram, they had a Foosball breakroom! I never saw anyone using the table, however.)

It's only about six minutes long. Give it a look! PIXAR

Also, here is an example of a cool Pixar scene:
