See #Hoppers in theaters this weekend! I animated these snakes just for you!

It took six years to make WE BARE BEARS. It took six years to make HOPPERS. Creating these things consumed a lot of my life. But i love doing it. I love animation. And I love saying things to the world through these (cute) characters. Disney/Pixar's #hoppers, now in theaters!

When I started working at Pixar in Sept 2000, I only animated with stepped keyframes, breakdowns and liner inbetweening because that is how I learned to animated at Disney. Pixar is the KING of spline animation and this bothered a lot people (I was told as much.) Eventually, me and a few liked minded animators convinced the tools team to write x-sheet, a tool that let us record our held keyframes in our shot recordings and then move them for timing and push them back into the spline editor. It was incredibly efficient and fast. THE INCREDIBLES was the first film we used this widely and I think you can see the results. Eventually, many of us landed on a workflow that was held keys/breakdowns for blocking and spline inbetweening for polish.

We gave out a Tom the lizard tattoo after 🦎🦎🦎

Disney and Pixar storyman Joe Ranft created this amazing guide to pitching storyboards. As someone who was terrified of public speaking, these tips were a lifesaver when I first started as a story artist. Forever grateful, Joe!

02-Sinners was special to work on. I know it’s late but I’ma run a series of posts with a small collection of the boards I did for Ryan. Most were done on location in New Orleans. On a ipad pro 13 with Adobe fresco #sinners #storyboards
