The Good Dinosaur Pioneers Animation #GoodDinoEvent
Creativity is the atmosphere at Pixar Animation Studios . It's a given. What impressed me most during my visit is that even on the technical levels creativity oozes. While in San Francisco for the #GoodDinoEvent we attended workshops that gave us a glimpse of the entire process of creating the soon to be released Pixar film, The Good Dinosaur . One of my favorite workshops was with Sharon Calahan . It was a lot like attending an art exhibit, where the guest speaker is the artist. Her voice was soft, and while she appeared, perhaps, plain,--her talent with a paint brush and paint is extraordinary. Calahan is the Good Dinosaur Director of Photography and Lighting. She was the overseer of Visual Design.
