Tarun Lak Instagram – More Soul work! The ‘gyro’ argument and finding Moonwind. I think I animated this a year ago now. These were my first shots on the film and it went through a few iterations. The soul 22/Archimedes argument was a late change replacing a different gag. I had the human world shots but when I saw the new gag cut in I just had to request to animate those too! Probably the only time I might show acting reference of myself here 😂 – I found it really useful to quickly get the acting, timing and progression working so I had a clear idea of what to animate. Other than making the gag work, the interesting challenge here was to show that 22 is in Joe’s body, not completely used to it yet, and Joe being in a cat. On top of that they were walking, talking, with 22 eating a gyro, with a difficult moving camera to clearly stage it to. It was also fun figuring out how 22 might run, not being used to being human just yet. In some of my thumbnails I was trying out different options. I also had to animate some fun sign spinning with Moonwind, which I looked at a lot of crazy youtube reference for. Many thanks to the animation team for helping improve the shots through the process! Amazing crowds animation by @jamieryan5 Swipe for some Oscar worthy reference and thumbnails! #PixarSoul #animation #animatorprocess #soul22 #moonwind #soularchemedis #animationreference #pixar #Soul Pixar Animation Studios
