In this post I’ll be passing along another one of those Pixarian stories I love so much: It’s great that critics have been praising Up<\/a> for its story and<\/em> for its phenomenal voice talent! <\/p>\n

The latter is thanks to people behind the sound booth such as Pixarian Amera Rizk. After all, in an animated film actors are the cherry on top. For example, whenever I come back from a screening of Up I always think to myself, "Ed Asner<\/a> and Jordan Nagai<\/a> portrayed Carl and Russell perfectly!" On the other hand, while I’m watching the film it’s the character<\/em> of Carl Fredricksen, not Asner, I’m thinking of.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh’s Tribune Total Media<\/a> sat down with former local Amera Rizk who is currently working behind the booth for Pixar. In the article, she talks about<\/a> how lucky she was to be working with legendary actors, her reaction to the tremendously positive reception Up has had and, of course, how her persistent nature got her to the studio. It’s a very interesting read for casual fans but most of all for those waiting for inspiration.<\/p>\n

At Pixar, Rizk was the second assistant editor on Up, previously working on Cars, currently working on Cars 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
