Pete Docter, who won the Oscar for his direction of UP, gives us a little insight into his next movie, Inside Out for Pixar. It might by the most confusing insight I’ve ever read, but when you’re describing the inner workings of the mind of a 12-year-old girl, I suppose confusing is probably exactly what you’re going to get.
In an interview with THR, Pete Doctor described the challenges of showing inside the mind of a young girl while also showing what’s happening to her in her life.
“One story is hard enough,” he said. “This is two stories that need to talk to each other.” Describing the animation, he said, “The characters are created with this energy because we are trying to represent what emotions would look like. They are made up of particles that actually move. Instead of being skin and solid, it is a massive collection of energy.” “It’s a lot of fun and really takes advantage of what animation can do,” he said of the film.
Hmm. Very interesting.
We’ll keep you posted on Inside Out directed by Pete Docter which is slated to hit theaters Summer 2015.
