Domee Shi began as a story intern at Pixar Animation Studios in June 2011, and was soon hired as a story artist on the Academy Award-winning feature film INSIDE OUT. In 2015 she began pitching ideas for short films, and soon was green lit to write and direct BAO which won the Academy Award® for Best Animated Short Film. Shi most recently made her feature film directorial debut on TURNING RED which was also Oscar-nominated. Her TURNING RED co-writer Julia Cho began her career in the New York Theater scene, writing a number of celebrated plays which scored her the Windham-Campbell Literary Prize in 2020 celebrating her body of her work.

In preparation for Lightyear, Arun and Patricia decide to bring PixMinis back where they look back on a Pixar short every day until July 12. In this episode, they discuss about the 2015 Pixar short Sanjay's Super Team which paired up with The Good Dinosaur. Sanjay is watching his favorite superhero show while his dad wants him to kneel and pray to the Hindu gods Vishnu, Durga, and Hanuman. When he accidentally fans the flames away from the candle, he imagines the smoke as the demon Ravana and the gods as superheroes. The short, while being nominated for an Annie and an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, has since been overlooked compared to other Pixar shorts. It hasn't helped that it was paired up with The Good Dinosaur, the lowest grossing Pixar film ever and one of the most disliked films of the lineup. Does the short follow the same or is it an overlooked gem? Listen and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/old-school-lane/support

On Episode 6 of Road to The Oscars join David Long and special guest Craig Fields as they go head to head in a battle for the ages! The speculation is over, the precursors have happened and its time for the lads to lay their cards on the table and boy do they. David battles with heart vs head as Craig dives into the deep end with some outrageous and daring predictions. Who will win? All will be revealed come Oscars Sunday. The show begins with David and Craig predicting the 8 categories which won't be shown live as well as Craig paying homage to people and films he think deserved a nomination this year; none more so than Nic Cage. Once the pleasantries are over the battle begins. The First eight categories discussed are Best Original Score, Best Hair and Makeup, Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Production Design, Best Documentary Short, Best Animated Short Film and Best Live Action Short. Both David and Craig state clearly that they believe that all 23 categories should be shown live and this is disrespectful to many of the creatives involved in the film making process. Do they agree on who will win? Absolutely not! After this history making Flee is discussed in the Best Documentary feature. Nominated in three categories; is this the one it can win? Craig and David debate. Then its onto the screenplay categories which look wide open and cause David a real headache! In Best Adapted Screenplay looks like a match race between CODA and The Power Of The Dog and this category will surely have a major impact on the Best Picture race. The Same can be said for Original Screenplay; can Belfast beat Licorice Pizza? Or will Don't look up spoil the party? Both David and Craig then pay respects to The Tragedy Of Macbeth in Best Cinematography but who do they think will win? The lads then discuss Best Costume Design, Best Director, Best Visual Effects and Best International Feature. All of these categories have strong betting favourites but will Craig play it safe? Of course not! Craig makes some outlandish predictions in 2 of these categories. It's then onto Best Original Song, a category that should be locked up but looks strangely open. David and Craig select different songs, but who will be right come Oscars Sunday?David sings the praises of The Mitchells Vs The Machines but will he stand by it or chose the betting favourite Encanto? It's then onto one of the hardest and most open categories of the night; Best Actress. Arguably any of the five nominees could win, but who do David and Craig pick? David struggles to decide. The show then moves onto Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor And Best Supporting Actor which looks much simpler to predict but this is the Oscars, you just never know.The Show concludes with the big one… Best Picture! Will it be The Power Of The Dog or will it be CODA? Or could Belfast cause a massive shock and take home the big prize? David and Craig make their predictions and it may not be what you expect. 

Oscar week is here and it's time for an all new episode of the podcast with Oscar nominees Hugo Covarrubias and Tevo Diaz!  Hugo and Tevo's film "Bestia" is nominated for Best Animated Short Film in the 94th Oscars. I first watched "Bestia" at the Sundance Film Festival this year and was absolutely blown away by it. I knew immediately that it would be nominated for an Oscar and it was no surprise when the nominations were announced that "Bestia" was among them.  Hugo and Tevo discussed the process of getting "Bestia" off the ground, the immense research that went into creating the character and story, the production design (which is incredible), filming during the pandemic, and so much more.  It was a great time talking with Hugo and Tevo over Zoom. There were a few technical issues, but they worked themselves out as the episode rolled on. "Bestia" is a film that will stick with me forever. I can't wait to see what is next for them and wish them the best at the Oscar's this Sunday.  You can still see "Bestia", as well as all of the nominated short films as part of ShortsTV.

About This Episode: In this week's podcast, we talk with Oscar winner Will McCormack, an American actor, executive producer, screenwriter and film director. Most recently, Will's moving short animated film (co-written and co-directed by Michael Govier) If Anything Happens I Love You (2020) earned him the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. We discuss the delicate sophistication of telling a story about grief through the medium of animation. We hear about the careful and thoughtful planning that went into creating a story about the vulnerability and pain of grief, sadness and loss that has the power to bring people together and create connection. We share a belief that all stories can be told in animation and are simply not child's play. No creative challenge is too big for our guest this week, and we look forward to the projects that are ruminating in his inspiring and brilliant mind.

Brinton and Humberto "H.Billi" Ona discuss what they enjoyed and took from Kobe Bryant's book. "The Mamba Mentality: How I play." he Mamba Mentality: How I Play is Kobe Bryant's personal perspective of his life and career on the basketball court and his exceptional, insightful style of playing the game―a fitting legacy from the late Los Angeles Laker superstar. In the wake of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe “The Black Mamba” Bryant decided to share his vast knowledge and understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary “Mamba mentality.” Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to play it “the right way,” The Mamba Mentality takes us inside the mind of one of the most intelligent, analytical, and creative basketball players ever. In his own words, Bryant reveals his famously detailed approach and the steps he took to prepare mentally and physically to not just succeed at the game but to excel. Readers will learn how Bryant studied an opponent, how he channeled his passion for the game, how he played through injuries. They'll also get fascinating granular detail as he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career. Bryant's detailed accounts are paired with stunning photographs by the Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein. Bernstein, long the Lakers and NBA official photographer, captured Bryant's very first NBA photo in 1996 and his last in 2016―and hundreds of thousands in between, the record of a unique, twenty-year relationship between one athlete and one photographer. The combination of Bryant's narrative and Bernstein's photos make The Mamba Mentality an unprecedented look behind the curtain at the career of one of the world's most celebrated and fascinating athletes. About the Author Kobe Bryant (1978-2020) was one of the most accomplished and celebrated athletes of all time. Over the course of his twenty-year career―all played with the Los Angeles Lakers―he won five NBA championships, two Olympic gold medals, eighteen All-Star selections, and four All-Star Game MVP awards, among many other achievements before retiring in 2016. In 2018, Bryant won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film as writer of Dear Basketball, which he also narrated. He was the first African American to win the award as well as the first former professional athlete to be nominated and win an Oscar in any category. As a philanthropist, Bryant founded the Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation (KVBFF) and the Kobe Bryant China Fund, organizations dedicated to providing resources for educational, social, and sports programs to improve the lives of children and families in need, and encourage cultural exchanges between Chinese and U. S. middle school children. He was also an official ambassador for After-School All-Stars (ASAS), a nonprofit organization that offers after-school programs to low-income children in more than a dozen U. S. cities. With entrepreneur Jeff Stibel, Bryant co-founded Bryant Stibel, a company designed to offer businesses specializing in technology, media, and data strategies, capital, and operational support. Throughout his post-professional basketball career, Bryant claimed he'd never been beaten one-on-one.

Alec isn't happy that he's being ignored so he humiliates Presto by refusing to be pulled out of the magic hat and puts him through pain and agony. The short was praised by critics and fans saying that it was just as good as WALL-E and a great humorous appetizer for the quiet, atmospheric film it was paired up with.

Courage before Confidence (0:00:00) Many of us struggle with confidence at some point in our lives. With all of our weaknesses, shortcomings, and insecurities, it takes a lot of guts to be proud of who we are and love ourselves despite what other people may say. So how do we find courage to be ourselves and ultimately regain our self-confidence? Well our next guest did just that. Growing up with a cleft lip and palate, Amy Wilde had to find her courage is now a confident author and advocate for people struggling with the same physical trial. She joins us today to share her story and tips for gaining more courage and confidence in ourselves.   Hair Love (0:20:05) Whether you watched the Oscars last month or not, you might recognize the short film title—“Hair Love”, which won the academy award for Best Animated Short Film. The writer and director, Matthew Cherry, wanted to promote hair love among young men and women of color, which isn't represented in mainstream media nearly enough. Bryce Randle, film and TV editor at Disney TV animation, joined the “Hair Love” team as a side project to pay for his kids' summer camp. Little did he know, this animated short would win an Oscar, while helping break black stereotypes. Bryce is here to talk to us about his work on the project as an animation editor.   Interior Design Trends (0:35:41) Spring is in the air and as you go about your spring cleaning there's a chance you've also had the urge to freshen up the look of your home. Maybe you want to change the color of the paint on the walls, buy new couch pillows, or rearrange the photos in your living room. But before you get started changing things, we wanted to update you on current trends, and right now, 80's interior design styles are making a comeback. What does this look like? Well, we invited Carrie Ann Rhodes, friend of the show and interior designer, to help you make your home “bodacious” instead of “bogus” as they said in the 80s.   The Conversation (0:50:36) Facing the end of a parent or loved one's life is an emotional and overwhelming experience. You want to be sure they're comfortable. You want to be true to their wishes. But when it's thrown on you—it's difficult to know what they right answer is, and the health care system isn't always great with holding your hand through that. Here to help us better prepare for having The Conversation with our loved ones about end of life care is Angelo Volandes and Aretha Davis, co-founders of Advance Care Planning Decisions.   Lisa and ALS (1:06:58) Lisa opens up about her experience since her husband was diagnosed with ALS four years ago.

In collaboration with THE VERGE. Supported by: Anne-Marie Canning In July, we are delving into the incredible power of VR to put people in other people's lives. And also the challenges and questions that come with that power. Storytellers are only beginning to explore the potential for virtual reality to put people inside other perspectives — and other lives. In our second POP, you'll get the chance to experience some of the best work that's been done to date, and also to question the limits of the technology and the ethical questions it raises. From escapist fun (take a drive around Mars! Wander an alien world!) to crushing and immersive VR documentaries to a one-of-a-kind room-scale augmented reality experience, you will leave this installation with some new views on things. ROSS MILLER CO-FOUNDER AND MANAGING EDITOR, THE VERGE Ross Miller is a cofounder and Managing Editor of The Verge. For over a decade, he has covered technology, gaming, entertainment, and all aspects of modern storytelling. He has followed virtual reality since early 2012 when John Carmack showed him a very early Oculus Rift prototype. He honestly didn't get it at the time. He's also really bad at writing bios, especially in the third person. ADI ROBERTSON SENIOR REPORTER, THE VERGE Adi Robertson is a Senior Reporter for The Verge. She has followed virtual reality since the original Oculus Rift’s unveiling in 2012, and her work includes a definitive oral history of VR, along with coverage of the medium’s science, technology, and culture.

As an 8-year-old boy, Brandon Oldenburg was a sponge soaking up all kinds of pop culture. Like just about everyone else on the Planet Earth in 1984, he and his brother were particularly fascinated by Michael Jackson - so much so that they produced their own "Beat It" video. Decades later, Oldenburg would cross paths with the King of Pop at a major turning point in both of their lives. Brandon Oldenburg is no stranger to the spotlight. A founding partner at Moonbot Studios in Shreveport, he won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2012 for his work on the film The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. In addition to his great story, this podcast also includes an interview with Oldenburg about growing up with a uniquely creative dad.

Tim was at Disneyland last weekend for the Star Wars Half Marathon and finished the 13.1-mile course in just under two hours and eleven minutes on a sore left foot. Nick Arciniaga, the overall winner of the event, finished in about half that time.  Sore foot. Yeah, that's his excuse. The weekend also gave Tim some time to finally explore the Star Wars Launch Bay in Tomorrowland, which he somehow managed to miss since it opened a couple months ago. It's a fun exhibit full of ship models, prop replicas and costumes, not to mention meet-and-greets with Chewbacca and Darth Vader. The Launch Bay has received some criticism for not being quite "WOW!" enough for Disneyland, but Tim thinks it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do: engage Star Wars fans with some real live stuff they can see and interact with until Star Wars Land finally makes its debut at the park, we hope, in 2018.  Here's what else Tim and Anthony have going on in this week's episode of Inside The Mouse Castle:  Oscar nominations were announced last week and films under the Disney umbrella fared well, although there were a few disappointments. Neither Star Wars: The Force Awakens nor Inside Out landed Best Picture nominations. Star Wars was recognized with five noms in mostly technical categories, while Inside Out landed nominations for Best Animated Feature and Original Screenplay. Sanjay's Super Team was nominated for Best Animated Short Film while Cinderella did likewise for Costume Design. The Oscars will air on February 28 on ABC. Bob Weis is the new president of Walt Disney Imagineering. He's been heading up the Shanghai Disney Resort project (which we now know is opening June 16) and was creative lead for the Disney California Adventure expansion and the original Disney/MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios). The Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show will end at Disney's Hollywood Studios on April 2 to make way for the upcoming Star Wars and Toy Story expansions at the park. Inside The Mouse Castle sends its condolences to the family and friends of former Disney Channel star Michael Galeota and actor Brian Bedford. Galeota passed away January 10 at age 31. Bedford, a respected stage and screen actor who voiced the title role in Disney's animated Robin Hood, died at the age of 80 on January 13. It's hard to believe, but Disney's High School Musical is ten years old. The Disney Channel celebrated with an anniversary special this week featuring the original cast.

German animator Moritz Mayerhofer, was accepted into the Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg in Germany, to study animation. After three years, Moritz took up an exchange program at Gobelins, Paris. There he started the visual development and design for 'Urs', which was his thesis-project. He has since graduated with that film at the Institute of Animation at the Filmakademie. Urs, is a touching and atmospheric CGI animated film about a son helping his aging by carrying her up a mountain to find a better life for each of them. Urs has garnered several awards globally and is a finalist in the Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film.

In our second podcast, I interview Canadian animator Chris Hinton, tracing the course of his animation career from the mid-1970s to the present, much of which has been through the National Film Board of Canada. Hinton's work has evolved considerably over the last thirty years, starting with the kind of cartoony style that most people identify with animation, and now leaning toward abstract explorations of music and sound. But in all cases, his work exhibits a twitchy vibrancy that's all his own. He's been nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film twice, for Blackfly (1991) and Nibbles (2003). Both films are very different in appearance and execution, but they're both distinctly Chris Hinton films. For the last 17 years, Hinton has also been teaching animation at Concordia University here in Montreal (and, in fact, I was among his first students). In the course of this interview, we also explored his observations about today's emerging animators. Animation Lingo In the podcast, we make references to fields and smears. A field guide is a reference for standardized frame sizes to accommodate both the film/TV viewing area and the animation camera. The higher the field number, the larger the frame. A smear is, literally, a smear of colour in a frame that indicates something moving quickly; essentially, hand-drawn motion blur.
