Pixar Animation Studios has shared a new poster to mark the official debut of the latest entry in their SparkShorts catalog, Self, which arrived on Disney+ earlier today.
What’s Happening:
- Pixar Animation Studios has released a new poster for their new SparkShort, Self, to mark the debut of the new short, now streaming on Disney+.
- In Self, A wooden doll who desperately wants to fit in makes an ill-fated wish upon a star, sparking a journey of self discovery. Her desire to blend in with her peers leads her down a harmful path, challenging her perspective of both who she is and where she belongs.
- The new short is a first for the studio, marking a blend between Computer Generated animation and Stop-Motion animation in a hybrid fashion.
- From Director Searit Huluf, the short uses the two techniques to aid in telling the story of the short, whose main character is a stop-motion character surrounded by computer animated ones, who articulate and move differently than she does.
- A recent video from the studio shares that the team got a bit of help from Tippett Studios, near Pixar's Emeryville campus in the San Francisco Bay Area, as not everyone in the iconic studio known for their computer animated films has the required skill set for stop-motion animation.
- Recently, our own Mike Celestino was able to see the new short after a theatrical screening of Soul at the El Capitan theatre, and you can read what he thought of that here.
- Pixar’s SparkShorts program is designed to discover new storytellers, explore new storytelling techniques, and experiment with new production workflows. These films are unlike anything that has ever been done at Pixar, providing an opportunity to unlock the potential of individual artists and their inventive filmmaking approaches on a smaller scale than the normal fare coming from the studio.
- Self is now available to stream on Disney+.
