I received the following information as a blogger via Walt Disney Publications. While I attended an expense paid trip by Disney to the press events for The Good Dinosaur, Inside Out, and Miles From Tomorrowland, all opinions are 100% my own.Howdy! Today we are continuing our coverage from the press trip I attended out in San Francisco to learn more about the upcoming Disney Pixar film THE GOOD DINOSAUR! Just to recap, hopefully you’ve already seen my post about an evening with Director Pete Sohn, where he discussed the research trips behind the film. Additionally, I also posted about my experience chatting with the art department and animators who worked on the film.
First off, I can’t tell you how excited I am about this film. Exploring the behind the scenes aspects has made me even more excited (as if that was possible) for the film! I absolutely love that it we were able to chat with the minds behind the creation of this film. In this post, I’ll be chatting about my experience with Sharon Calahan, the Director of Photography-Lighting, who worked on picture progression. In addition, I met with Sets Supervisor David Munier, who explained how filmmakers used actual USGS data to create sets. Last but not least, I’ll talk about my time with Effects Supervisor Jon Reisch, who gave us a presentation on effective storytelling.
