Siggraph 2009

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to mention that I WILL be attending Siggraph this year. I have been granted the time off and will be arriving in New Orleans on Wednesday the 5th.


If you are attending, be sure to check out my film "Wild Dogs" at the Computer Animation Festival! There are many wonderful films screening this year from co-workers and friends of mine.

Thanks so much!

My first Toy Story promo shot

There is an invisible moving going on here at Pixar right now. Invisible in the sense that the films have already been made, but the promotional material for them is rolling out now. I'm currently having a blast animating the characters that I loved and grew up with as a kid.

Here is the new trailer for the Toy Story 1 & 2 3 theatrical re-release. I got to help work on this trailer the first week I arrived back at the studio!



Be sure to catch Toy Story 1 and 2 on the big screen AGAIN in 3D starting October 2nd. This double feature will run for 2 weeks ONLY so don't miss it!
