Pixar's new Short: Day and Night

Hey folks, I am back after a long brake and here I've got a teaser from Pixar's latest short Day and Night!

"Directed by Teddy Newton, it combines a throwback '50s vibe with modern technology to tell a story of two figures -- one representing day and one representing night -- who learn to appreciate each other's unique offerings. The mute figures are little more than silhouettes, created in traditional, hand-drawn animation, and prone to "Looney Tunes"-like outbursts of anger and wolf-whistles. Their emotions, however, are expressed in 3-D, computer-animated scenes framed by those silhouettes.

For the character of Day, those scenes always take place during daylight hours (a beach scene, fighter jets roaring through the sky, a rainbow). For Night, they're always night scenes (fireflies, fireworks, a lighthouse). The whole thing is set to a score by Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino ("Up"). 

Having trouble picturing it? You're not the only one. "Toy Story 3" director Lee Unkrich said that even after he heard Newton's pitch, he wasn't sure what was in store. "

Have a look and then right below it there's a making of!

Enjoy!

A.D. Teaser Trailer - Animation with Zombies!!

Ben Hibon (director)
Haylar Garcia (writer/creator)
Bernie Goldmann (producer)

Tarik Heitmann (producer)

"Ben: We set out to create a visual universe that distinguished itself from the classic zombie formula. Translating Haylar’s script into animation was the first step to making this project unique. Animation very rarely ventures into mature and dark territories. It’s very important to define a strong and bold look for this movie, create our own visual benchmark. A.D. has definitely its very own identity that serves the purpose of the movie; it’s stylised and graphical, but very gritty and textured just like the reality and the world the story is set in.

Haylar: Feature Film  all the way baby! Ben Hibon is like a blessing from heaven, (maybe hell in this case). His overall vision is what sets this thing apart from anything ever seen. His input was vital in shaping the world, the feeling, and even the characters on our most current rewrite. His intrinsic talent for narrative in the visual sense is literally the electricity that powers the script’s execution…. Did I just say execution?

Bernie: Whenever you want to do anything that challenges the way people think about movies things move slowly. Movie executives want to make 100 versions of the same movie. Which from their perspective makes sense. You don’t get fired for making the Reese Witherspoon romantic comedy. I completely believe that AD will be a hit movie. The zombie genre could use some reinvention. This movie will be like no other.  "
