Pixar's Success

Nowadays, Pixar is one of the most important computer animation studios with the enough technological, creative and production capabilities to create brand new animated films and its related products. Pixar is a clear example of the great result that comes out from the combination of technology and talent; bringing to us on theaters an exciting and incredible menu of movies with excellent and memorable characters, backgrounds and stories. Pixar keeps a constant success thanks to its unusual creative process.

First, Pixar has a very good team. It is conformed by really talented people that are capable to contribute and unify the ideas so to tell a story; these people are able to manage a bad idea into something that really works out.  Also, together as a team they are able to recover from failures that may come out from taking risks when trying to make original films by helping each other and trying all over again. The team gives people unexpected ideas that first may seem out of mind, but finally they turn to be great movies. Precisely this turns their films into blockbusters, because people watch unconventional stories never imagined before.

Secondly, it promotes a healthy criticism for a progress. The team greatly trusts one another, feeling free to communicate with anyone regardless of the discipline or position they have.  The feedback given helps each other to learn and to catch some inspiration from others. Directors can mention important points to the crew so to keep everyone on their correct way. These constant checks, help to detect possible mistakes before it is too late "We know screwups are an essential part of making something good. That’s why our goal is to screw up as fast as possible", (Lee Unkrich, director of TS3)

Lastly, Pixar provides a great work environment. Physically, artists have several cozy places where they can feel comfort while working. Pixar is a place where technology meets human, easing in this way a wide spectrum of fluid ideas supported by specialized equipment that brings them to reality. The environment is also built by the constant change on the way people works, it never stays the same. Periodically, new artists with fresh ideas arrive to the company so to print this dynamic on films and short films.

The obtained results from this company are completely notable. Some of them are their 26 Academy Awards, 7 Golden Globes, and 3 Grammys among many other awards. Pixar is the perfect example of how can projects evolve from its basics into a great production; the secret is to have talent, trust upon your team and a supporting equipment. I believe these elements conjugated with a stunning passion of what we do, turn to be the project of our lives.
