You kind of go like “Hey, could I pitch something?” And they are like “Yes, this is not a bad time. Go for it.”

I enjoy watching the shorts and trying to isolate the places where the studio is trying to push their boundaries. Despite the fact that, on the surface, they're these delightful little bite-sized pieces of Pixar goodness, you can see where they've used the shorts as a testing ground in different techniques and technologies.

Pixar’s next short film La Luna

I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's based on the 1979 Bertolucci original.

Of course, what with this being a short film and all, they'll probably go with slightly less junkie incest.

Hey grandpa, what's a frame? Is it something made with computers?

What does fps stand for again?

Figure per scene? Oh, right. Frames. But those come after the modeling and rendering of characters and such.

Sometimes I think I would give up everything to go work at Pixar. There's lots of surface articles, but so few that go in depth the way this one did. The sketches for this are gorgeous. The rendered version, heartbreakingly stunning. Thank you for this.
