Hi everyone,
 
I thought it would be fun to see the Pixar team in action together and was going to bring a DVD copy of the Incredibles to show the behind the scenes extras - however, since we are distributed across three sites and connected by phone it would be hard to pull off a joint viewing. It is also 30 minutes and would take too much time.
 
YouTube may save the day, someone has put the footage up in three parts. Throughout there are segments of interaction, carefully edited of course. Take a look if you have time:
 
Part 1

Need for innovation in every film, background of John (executive producer) and Brad Bird’s (director of the Incredibles) relationship, why they brought him to Pixar
 
Part 2

Several segments of interaction between head team members, discussion of problems they had to solve.
 
Part 3

discussion of handcrafted but electronically made, how to create physical realism, believability of characters, discussion of Bob (that Roy noted was modeled after director Brad, who had not directed animated film before). Good examples off some of dynamics between producer, director - and discussion of creative process and tension with needing to control budget/schedule with vision.
