A Day in the Life of Pixar’s Inside Out Animators

Over the past few weeks I have been sharing my adventures at Pixar for their newest movie Inside Out while on my latest Disney press trip. We’ve taken you inside the mind of Inside Out, behind the scenes of camera & lighting for Inside Out and on a fun Pixar tour. Now we’re going to take you through a day in the life of Pixar’s Inside Out animators. We got to sit down with Story Artist Tony Fucile, Directing Animator Jamie Roe, and Supervising Animators Shawn Krause & Victor Navone in a small theater inside Pixar.

During our session with these amazing creators, we got to witness an animation daily. What are animation dailies? Well, I didn’t know either. They are actually raw, unedited footage shot when they are making a new film. In this case, we watched the animation dailies of Inside Out. Dailies take place in a small theater just like we sat in. Sitting in on dailies would be the team mentioned above, along with the director and filled with animators. They showed us an animation daily in action. It’s so inspiring to see the work this amazing crew has done to create such an amazing film. (more…)
