Design and Wonder in the Everyday

“Partly Cloudy”

I don’t see how this is an “official” version, but I thought it’s worth posting until the link is pulled. For those sorry fools who have not gone to watch “Up” yet, this is the short that played before it. Classic Pixar. It’s good for what ails you.

(If you’re sobbing in a fetal ball during this short, you’re obviously seeing it as an analogy for your job or marriage. Get help.)

Look, “Up”!

So like me, you loved Pixar’s newest masterpiece, “Up.” As a guy who thought Pixar’s latest movies were somewhat weak (i.e. Cars, Ratatouille, Wall-E), “Up” truly brought back the magic for me. Quite by accident, I came across Lou Romano’s blog which posts a lot of development and production work he’d worked on for the movie. This includes paintings, sculptures, and early animation tests. It’s worth the look to revisit the magic (and to download a neat desktop background or two). Link
