The Power of PIxar on Education and the Future of Storytelling

from The Grow Wire Podcast · host Grow Wire

Elyse Klaidman and Tony DeRose join us to discuss the intersection of art, technology and science as they experienced it throughout 22 years working for Pixar (3:47). Tony was a Senior Scientist at Pixar (8:29), Elyse was an art instructor and director of archives and exhibitions (12:25), and their two worlds collided when they created Pixar in a Box, an online resource exploring the academic concepts that go into creating Pixar films, including art, math, science and engineering (16:39). They dive into why Pixar in a Box is an important educational tool for younger generations (22:25), discussing how art and science came together for creative problem solving at Pixar (29:03). Of course, this was all part of the positive culture within the company, in general (32:43), which they believe other businesses can and should emulate (38:48). Finally, they reveal their hopes for the future of art, technology and storytelling, and how they’ll continue working toward that vision (43:05).
