Part Seven of The Pixar Pipeline Project

Starting at 32:26 into the podcast - We are excited to bring our seventh interview as part of the Pixar Pipeline Project. The Project is a nine-part series of Pixar interviews which will allow us to follow the path of a Pixar movie through its journey from story to screen. 
Our interview this month is with Jason Johnston from Pixar's Effects department. We chat about everything from a day-in-the-life of an effects artist, to his Visual Effects Society award winning work on Ratatouille, Up and WALL•E, all the way to his brilliant advice for those looking to get into the effects field.
Finally, we wrap up with a discussion on Jason's journey to Pixar.
We're certain you'll be amazed with the level of detail and work that goes into the effects team's work - enjoy the interview.
