People get excited when watching The Incredibles action scenes, people cry when watching the opening to the movie UP, and people laugh when watching SouthPark or the Simpsons, and that's all animation. We are trying to do the same with horror. In terms of the age, the film gets intense and dark at one point. We are working on something we ourselves would like to watch. Ultimately, movies are movies regardless of the medium.

There has been many scenes/shots that I enjoyed very much when working at Pixar. One that stood out was a scene in ToyStory3 that was added on the later stages of animation in the film. Director Lee Unkrich trusted me with a long shot that had no dialogue and two main characters Buzz Lightyear (spanish mode) and Jesse. I spent christmas working on this shot because it was an important one that I didn't want to mess up. Learned a lot through it.

"Grave of the Fireflies" is a fantastic film. Highly recommended.

On my case, it's been always the self pressure of am I trying hard enough, am I pushing myself and my work, am I learning, am I trying new things. Every day you go through similar things. But at the same time, you have great things that come with it. Art serves a great purpose of allowing you to explore different topics both externally (as you see them) as well internally (as you feel them). Also all the creative people you get to work with, the wonderful projects...even the failures have become great things to experience through art.

Hi Frajer, I was in School back in 1995 when I first learned about Pixar and what they do. Toy Story came out and started submitting my animation reel once a year. As my work wasn't ready, I kept practicing animation and working in other companies until they hired me in 2002. It's an amazing company that strives for quality in their stories and characters and couldn't be more proud to have worked there.
