Watch Out San Francisco Animation Studios are Taking Over the City
Our reporter Annabella recently went on an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime trip to visit Pixar Studios in San Francisco to discover all the work that went on behind the scenes in creating their latest film, Incredibles 2 (in cinemas now). Below, Annabella describes her incredible adventure.
Visiting Pixar Studios was an absolute dream! It's easy to forget that it's a place of work when you see employees riding around on scooters, playing basketball and doing lengths in an on-site, private swimming pool!
Pixar is definitely my kind of office. Inside the Steve Jobs Building, there are numerous iconic characters dotted around, as well as a glass cabinet full of their well-deserved, friendly Oscar pals. Exploring the home in which most of my favourite childhood films such as Toy Story 3, Finding Nemo and of course The Incredibles were produced, and walking amongst the creators themselves felt very, very surreal!

And some additional action scenes - it doesn't get much better than watching the film in its original home. The footage we were shown was funny and relatable and the progression of skills and technology advancements was evident in the mise-en-scene. Yet the beloved and identifiable Parr family were still the family which we admired over a decade ago - being no different to the rest of us, despite their supernatural powers.
Throughout the day I met with some of the key people who added their magic to the film. From staff responsible for wardrobe to architecture and even the effects which are placed on top of the animation. It was incredibly inspiring to hear each one of their personal journeys and the trial and error process. This was a huge reminder that even for the people at the top of their game, sometimes it's important to have unsuccessful attempts that redirect you to the best result. I especially loved the presentation from Deanna Marsigliese [Character and Costume Designer], since she was talking about her responsibility creating Edna's fashion line. Growing up, one of my favourite hobbies was designing clothes, so it was interesting to hear how she not only began creating beautiful garments, but creating them internalising Edna Mode's character and objectives - meaning Marsigliese was working as a designer and an actor.
Most of the information I learned came to my surprise, such as the number of roles in creating the film. It's almost like a conveyer belt, where you do your job and pass it on to the next person to add their super talented touch to it. I now fully appreciate the micro details in each scene, such as the posters on a wall or the leftover food on a plate, since everything you see, someone has taken a lot of time to create.

In cinemas]. It's about an ageing Chinese mother, who gets another opportunity at motherhood when one of her dumplings springs to life. I personally loved the film and the strong, familiar, Chinese culture which dominated it; it's a culture which I appreciate, but it's also interesting to see shortcuts of it from an internal view. The activities which mother and son participated in, such as food shopping for traditional meals, reminded me of my upbringing and how important it was for my mum to share her Nigerian culture with me. Despite the film being very personal and specific to Chinese culture, the familial themes make it universal and heart-warming, which is why I really enjoyed it.

Reading time 5 mins View ArticleLast month while I was in San Francisco, I got to tour Pixar Animation Studios! As a HUGE Disney & Pixar fan, you beat, I am still pinching myself! 🙂 If you are thinking, what an amazing place to visit? You have no idea, Pixar is truly an incredible place. From the moment I found out that we will be touring Pixar Animation Studios for the #GoodDinoEvent, I couldn’t contain myself. After having toured the campus, everything I could have imagined and a lot more were realized. Now, I want to invite you to come along as I give you a virtual tour of what I saw and experience during our tour.
As soon as you set foot into the 22-acre Emeryville campus, an air of creativity, fun and excitement surrounds you. As you walk towards the two-story 220, 000 square foot Steve Jobs building, you are be greeted by the two stars from Pixar’s very first short, Luxo Jr., which is Pixar’s mascot and it is seen at the beginning and end of every Pixar film. As well as, Luxo Jr.’s ball (or the Pixar Ball).
Interesting Facts About Animation
As you can see, this massive desk lamp actually works. The light bulb inside the lamp actually turns on at night, which is pretty amazing to see. The amazing bigger-than-life statues don’t stop outside, oh no! As you walk into the Steve Jobs building lobby or atrium, you are greeted by some of Pixar’s iconic characters!
Some of the characters currently on display at Pixar are Woodie, Buzz Lightyear, Guido, Luigi, Mr. Incredible, ElastiGirl (Mrs. Incredible), Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack! Plenty to see and so much to photograph. Oh, I am not talking about only the characters, just beyond the characters, you can see the display case filled with Pixar’s many, many trophies. And don’t even get me started with the second floor, unfortunately we weren’t able to take pics there, but trust me they are amazing.
Did you see the Good Dinosaur banners and art work in the video? Below is another look at these amazing banners adorning the Pixar Steve Jobs lobby. One trivia fact is that the Arlo banner is the actual size Arlo would be in real life! The rest of the banners are scaled down, because they wouldn’t fit in the space. Another, trivia fact is that Pixar’s art work changes as they are developing new films or “show”. Just imagine, you spent 4-5 years developing a project, as the premier date draws near, you get to see the end result as you enter into your work place everyday. Great idea, right?!
