Via Wikipedia.org, I found Alvy Ray Smith’s, the ex-Executive Vice President and co-founder of Pixar‘s website. On it he has the History Of Pixar full of pictures of documents from the founding documents of Pixar.
I thought I might whet your appetite before you enter his site here.
Here we have the spines of the founding documents of Pixar. This was Alvy’s personal set of three volumes. There four other sets: Ed Catmull, current President and Co-founder of Pixar has one. Steve Jobs, CEO and Chairman of Pixar has one. Lucasfilm has one. And the attorneys have one (Farella, Braun & Martell). The next images to follow are found inside the volumes.
Tab 40, vol. III
Signatures for Pixar: Ed Catmull, Alvy Ray Smith
This is an image of the check for $5 million from Steve Jobs to Lucasfilm to purchase the technology. Steve subsequently capitalized Pixar with another $5 million.
Tab 29, vol. II
These are exactly the 40 founding employees of Pixar. Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith are the Co-founders. Steve Jobs is the venture’s capitalist. The Board of Directors originally consisted of Ed, Alvy, and Steve, with Steve as Chairman of the Board.
And that is all I have for you. To see more you have to go to the site for all the exciting documents. Well I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.
