A somatic atelier for the creation of virtual worlds. Thanks to our friend Greg Amundson for the inspiring tour of Pixar Animation Studios.
Takeaway: despite their mind-blowing technology, the magic resides in the eyes and hands of incredible visual artists, the minds of storytellers, and all those who keep the vision on track. Ancient pursuits that will never be replaced.
