Inside The
PIXAR Studio

A reinterpretation of Pixar’s lamp intro.

Design Process

Inside the Pixar Studio is a reimagining of Pixar’s iconic lamp intro. I brought EVE from WALL-E into the scene and created interactions between her and the Luxo Jr. lamp, giving the intro a fun narrative twist. To expand the scene further, I designed, modeled, and fully rigged a mechanical creature that joins the interaction. Animation was created in Maya, sound and editing made in Premiere Pro.

Challenges

Making the lamp and EVE feel like they were really “acting” together was a challenge. I had to adjust the timing so it references the original first encounter scene in WALLE. I especially enjoyed animating EVE because of the flowing body structure, and was proud of how expressive she felt even without dialogue.
