Talk by Michael B. Johnson, head of Moving Pictures Group at Pixar.
Porter College Distinguished Visiting Lecturer
Technologist Michael B. Johnson’s group is responsible for the design, implementation and support of the pre-production pipeline for Pixar features and shorts. He will share his perspective on the Pixar film-making process, where a cast of characters contribute, from creative story tellers who want things they don't understand how to make, to flexible technologists who are more concerned with empowering their users than winning an argument with them.
