I thought it would be interesting to explore it's unusual creative process and discover the reasons behind the smashing success of its productions. Every Pixar blockbuster requires years of brainstorming and fine-tuning. A staff of writers, directors, animators, and technicians move from project to project. As a result, the studio has built a team of movie makers who know and trust one another in ways unimaginable on most sets. The animators and director often meet to discuss scenes and animations in their movies. I have learned from Pixar that being open to comments and criticism is a must.
Here are some of my favorite quotations from people at Pixar:
It’s important that nobody gets mad at you for screwing up, we know screwups are an essential part of making something good. That’s why our goal is to screw up as fast as possible.” - Lee Unkrich, director of Toy Story 3.
“What you have to do in animation... is direct the audience’s eyes to where you want them to go, to not just soak in the environment, but feel it.” - Graham Walters, producer of Finding Nemo
"There’s never a wrong idea. You just keep throwing stuff out...inevitably there are elements of different things that inspire a character or environment.” - John Lasseter
