Attraction

Pixar Animation Demo Reel

December 13th, 2011

Here are excerpts from the EXPERT on how to make job applications that include animation demoreel:

For first-timers putting together a reel, following are some helpful guidelines from one of Pixar’s former interns, who joined our ranks as an employee:

1) An application that requires a demo reel submission has 5 parts:

a) the cover letter
b) the resume
c) the demo reel
d) the demo reel breakdown
e) the on-line application (the application contains the Reel Submission Agreement)

The cover letter can (and should) be brief. The resume should tell us where you’ve worked, what you did when you worked, what kind of coursework you’ve had, and what tools, languages, and systems you can use. The demo reel breakdown is really essential (see #7, below). Don’t force us to look at a website – when we’re looking at reels, we’re all greased and ready to go with reels, not websites. (We will look at websites if we’re hiring you as a web designer.) » Read more: Pixar Animation Demo Reel

Animation Film Making Process

November 4th, 2011

Learning 3D animation is not enough merely to learn to use 3D animation software. We need to understand the process of making animated films. This knowledge will help integrate our work with the work of other teams. Under this article may give an idea of ​​how the process of making animated films took place:

Incredible Animation

Ah, quiet suburban life. That’s what Bob Parr, the former Mr. Incredible, and his superhero family wanted, right? Not quite. In Walt Disney Pictures/Pixar Animation Studios’ latest animated feature, Bob (voiced by Craig T. Nelson), his wife (Holly Hunter) and their three super-kids are brought back to active duty due to the misdeeds of an old nemesis, Syndrome (Jason Lee), and his fellow evil-doer, Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson).

Pixar–whose roster of groundbreaking computer-animated films includes Toy Story (the first all-CG feature film), A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo–stretched its home-grown technology further for its latest feature venture. The Incredibles marks Pixar’s first foray into animated human protagonists, as opposed to animals or toys, and will showcase technical advancements in rendering photorealistic CG hair, both long and stubbly. Also on the list of firsts: The Incredibles is Director Brad Bird’s Pixar debut, and Bird (The Simpsons, King of the Hill, The Iron Giant) is the first Pixar director to be recruited from outside the company. (He joined the company in 2000, after the Warner Bros. release of The Iron Giant.) » Read more: Animation Film Making Process
