Hey everyone! These are just some quick character concept designs that I recently did for a show opening at work. The actual opening won't be quite like this, but these are just to give some kind of direction. The opening will be more of a puppet-like stop motion thing with real photo images of people and elements. Should be fun.ALSO - Some new Pixar UP spots. Enjoy!
And another "extended clip" can be seen here on MSN
And a featurette here on the Pixar Blog
