JV - I think you just found

a hidden Pixar page there, JV. :wink:

Interesting article. I didn’t understand

any of it, of course, due to the highly technological computations, mathematical equations, and overall almost

incomprehensible “CG talk” – but other than that, it was pretty cool. :slight_smile:

#102

JV- Wow, nice

find! Very interesting, though, like Mitch, I didn’t understand much, if any of it. :laughing:

The instructor is the character used in the ‘Wiggly Splines’ paper at

graphics.pixar.com/indexAuthorKass.html according to Wikipedia.

To me, he looks like

the monster with the spikes on his back in Monster’s Inc.

[size=92]Ahahaha! That clip cracked me up. 8D

Thanks for the find, Mitch![/size]

#105

Dang it, I cant see it. for some

reason my pop up blocker wont turn off


#106

Yay! I got it to work! It does look quite amusing

#107

Pixel Candy - Heheh – no problem! I’m glad you enjoyed it. :wink:

lennonluvr9 - Thank goodness you got it to work, as it is quite a funny

clip. I’m glad you were able to view the scene. :slight_smile:

#108

For a

while, I was convinced that it was part of a movie. Now, I am quite disheartened because it is only an animation

sample. :cry:

#109

How do

you mean, TSS? “Lifted” was nominated for the animated short film Oscar, so it is indeed a

“full-length” short


#110

Yeah, I’m confused too. What do you mean by it was only a sample. I thought it

was part of a bigger thing (or “Shorter” thing as the case may be).

#111

I think what TSS means

is that what has been releaed is only a sample- the 20 second clip of Lifted, rather than the entire thing, which

hasn’t actually been released yet.

Update:

The official Pixar Animation Studios website now has a page

dedicated to Lifted, including the story, behind the scenes information, and the

names of the characters. You can view these exciting features here:

Lifted

And if that wasn’t enough, the

picture of Remy on the bottom left hand corner of the screen on the main page has been changed. It now looks like

this

Very cool. We’re getting closer! :smiley:

#113

Wow, the alien’s called Stu! What a great name for an

alien! :laughing: Thanks for the link, Mitch. :smiley:

#114

lizardgirl - No problem! I check the website every day sooo
I got ecstatic when I

found that. :smiley:

I love the name of the instructor alien, by the way – “Mr. B”. :laughing:

#115

In the picture of him, he really

does remind me of Roz- it’s that expression on his face!

#116

Hey yeah – I was trying to think of who he reminded me

of! That deadpan look on his face gives it away, I guess. Funny stuff. I also like the sketch of Stu on the last

page. :stuck_out_tongue:

#117

Heh. Stu. Short for student, I figure. :wink:

I

like that sketch too, Mitch. I swear it was done by

Teddy Newton, one of my favorite artists. :smiley:

~~=oP

#118

PV - Or stupid. :stuck_out_tongue: Heheh – nah, that’s too crude.

But yeah, “Stu” for “student” seems to fit. :smiley:

Hmm
Teddy Newton. It rings a bell,

but I can’t seem to remember him. Does he work at Pixar?

#119

Do guys you remember when I said that the instructor

looks like his name should be “Bub” or “Bubba”. Well I was close because his name is

“Mr. B”. :smiley:

#120

I know – I was

thinking that the “Mr. B” thing synchronized with somebody else’s guess at a name on this (or another)

forum, JV. I forgot that you were the one who mentioned it until now. Nice guess!

:smiley:
