Tarun Lak Instagram – Last Soul post.

The barbershop scene, when I first saw it in storyboards was so full of charm, life and grounded in reality that I had to try and animate on it.
Dez the barber, only showing up in one sequence in the movie, made a big impact to Joe in the film, offering him a different perspective on life.
Dez became one of my favorite characters to have animated, because of the depth in his character, but also his fantastic design, voice and rig.

One of my favorite experiences at pixar was going on a little trip to visit a few barbershops around Oakland with other animators before starting on this sequence. Talking to the barbers there, learning about what they do, why they do it, and a bit about their tools and process informed us so much, and gave us a deeper understanding to bring to Dez’s character.

One direct piece of observation was tying a neck strip before putting on the barber cape, that I tried to pitch in my shot, so it felt more real and observed.

These shots were also a lesson to me in collaborating with other team members and how that can lead to stronger work.
The comforting hands over Joe’s shoulders gesture was something I would’ve never thought about, if it wasn’t for a fellow animator, Rob Denovan who suggested it to show Dez needed to be comforting Joe in the moment.

Other interesting things to animate here were 22 Joe trying out a lollipop for the first time and Dez talking while doing his regular barber routine.

I have no thumbnails to show here, but as a student I always wondered the kind of thought animators put in before getting into a scene, so I’ve shared some of my notes breaking down the characters and beats involved in these shots.

I was only responsible for animating Dez, 22 Joe and Joe cat in the shots in color here.

This film was a dream project to be on, so I can’t thank the people involved enough, supervisors, leads, and especially @petedocter who’s work I’d loved since I was a kid.

End of my long ramble. Thanks all!
