December 16, 2013 : The Making Of A Pixar Short Blog

Saschka Unself directed The Blue Umbrella, the Pixar short released with Monsters University. The short hasn’t really lit up the awards scene, but Unself has given animation fans a present with a cool Making Of Blog for the short. Each day in December through Christmas Eve, the director unveils a new behind-the-scenes look into the making of the short.

The site gives unique insight into Pixar’s process for creating the short, and I am sure in many ways it mirrors what is done for features (just on a much smaller scale). You can easily find the film online; and while I didn’t think it was their best work, it was original and had its moments. I would recommend watching it out before you delve into the entries – it allows you to get a better appreciation for the development of the short as it progressed through the process. It is definitely an interesting read.
