Description
At Pixar Animation Studios, SparkShorts filmmakers are given six months to assemble a team and create a short animated film. No major rules apply—filmmakers are driven by their need to tell a story and the nimble approach to do so. "A Spark Story" introduces Aphton Corbin and Louis Gonzales, two filmmakers striving to get their uniquely personal SparkShorts visions on screen. Each, teamed with a producer, navigates the emotional rollercoaster of stepping into a leadership role and inspiring their crew. Corbin’s film, “Twenty Something,” required novel approaches to storytelling to convey one character's multiple perspectives—all using handdrawn animation (a rarity for Pixar). Gonzales’ film, “Nona,” came from an intensely personal place, but that didn’t stop a serious bout of writer's block from nearly derailing the entire production. Produced in collaboration with Pixar, "A Spark Story" comes from Supper Club (“Chef’s Table”) and directors Jason Sterman and Leanne Dare. The documentary will give audiences an exclusive and immersive look at the filmmakers and their short films, while also exploring the creative philosophy that makes Pixar unique. Jason Sterman, Brian McGinn and David Gelb produce.
在皮克斯动画工作室，SparkShorts 的制片人有六个月的时间组建团队，创作一部动画短片。没有什么主要的规则，电影制作人是由他们讲故事的需要和灵活的方法来驱动的。《A Spark Story》介绍了阿弗顿·柯尔宾和路易斯·冈萨雷斯，这两位电影制作人努力将他们独特的个人星火故事搬上银幕。每一个人都与制作人合作，在步入领导角色和激励团队成员的情感过山车中导航。柯尔宾的电影《二十几岁》需要新颖的讲故事方式来传达一个角色的多重视角——所有这些都使用了手绘动画(这在皮克斯很少见)。冈萨雷斯的电影《Nona》来自一个非常个人化的地方，但这并没有阻止编剧严重受阻的局面，几乎让整部作品陷入困境。《A Spark Story》与皮克斯合作制作，由《晚餐俱乐部》(《厨师桌》)和导演杰森·斯特曼 (Jason Sterman) 和琳恩·戴尔 (Leanne Dare) 共同执导。这部纪录片将给观众一个独特的身临其境的视角来审视电影制作人和他们的短片，同时探索皮克斯独特的创作哲学。Jason Sterman, Brian McGinn 和 David Gelb 制作。
