Any way I’ve learnt a bit about how to use sketches to build a story, what’s next... let’s find out how to add colour, light and background. MONSTERISING INTERVIEW I’m here with Robert Condo, who’s involved in Monsterizing, I know. What is Monsterizing? Monsterizing is the way we stylise our PTC FOLDER INTERVIEW IN STUDIO NIGEL ROBERT NIGEL ROBERT NIGEL ROBERT 10:06:54 MIKE ROBERT NIGEL buildings for the monsters world. Oh okay We try to think, put on an Architect’s cap and design it for monsters. Solve problems that monsters would have So you take a building that we would see every day and arrange it for the Monster World Right so... some of the problem we might face are things like.... the scale, monsters come in all sorts of different size, big and small. And so it’s important for us to design the building for those different sized monsters. And here you can see Mike and Sulley in front of this door at the Scare School. Oh yeah you got the small and then I suppose that would open as a full door as well. Yeah absolutely In this film we get to see monsters that fly, so we’ve created these little perches, up on top where flying monsters could land and walk into the top floor. And we’ve even hidden, all through which is a fun detail for us to design, was hidden faces. Here’s the scare school and you can see the dorm room windows on the dome are eyeballs and the door down below is actually a mouth. Monster University is a very colourful film. How do you use the colours and the light to tell your story Oh we carefully picked different colours for different fraternities and sororities. Oozma Kappa in particular is green; we wanted to make sure it was Mike’s team. Behold my brother of Oozma Kappa We also have this fun thing were Mike is coming in and out of light. There’s actually this idea that monsters like to scare in the dark... things happen that actually put Mike and Sulley into a position of having to step into this light and this is where we are really using light to really be a scary thing for them You don’t notice that whilst you’re watching the film. About okay if it’s a good thing that’s going on in their life then its light maybe that they need light and that if its’ something that’s more daunting, its dark. It’s amazing I’ve got lots to learn.

Do you pledge your souls to the Oozma Kappa brotherhood? Will you take the sacred oath of the (aaaah) For crying out loud Sweetie turn the lights on while your down here, you’re going to ruin your eyes LINK TO CHARACTER IV This movie is set when Mike and Sulley are a fresh faced eighteen years old and the team here have created a Whole university of new monsters to join a younger looking Mike and Sulley. CHARACTER IV I’m here with Ricky and Jason and you guys work a lot with the characters. Can you tell me what you do? Well these are the returning characters, we have Mike, Sulley and Randal and the challenging thing about Mike is that how do you make an eye ball eighteen years old? Some of the changes that we made are we...you know that you put on weight as you get older so we made him skinnier; we made his legs and arms longer and his hands and feet larger to make him like a puppy. And even with all that done if you had a direct comparison it wasn’t absolutely clear, with Mike we ended up giving him braces when he was younger and a retainer when he was older. nice So we did the same thing with Sulley. Skinnyed him up, saturated his colour, his horns are blunter and shorter. It’s not until you see them together, that you realise how much they’ve changed. That’s a perfect transition to Randal where if you don’t have the A-B comparison you probably wouldn’t realise You can’t tell, so our big visual hook was adding the glasses to him. When he takes then off you see the squint. This is Terri and Terry Perry Hello I’m terry with a “y” And I’m Terri with an “I” I’m a dance major And I’m not...

So we looked immediately at gummy candies We ate a lot of it too One of the biggest and most strongest I would say is Dean Hardscrabble So we actually got, all the designers we could all in a room and we sat around and we tried everything we could imagine, she was a butterfly, she was a bat, she was a snake, she was a based on a moth at any given time. It wasn’t until we came across this giant centipede The Scolopendra Gigantea BACK TO INTERVIEW BACK TO INTERVIEW Group RICKY NIGEL RICKY NIGEL RICKY DEAN 10:11:22 11 NIGEL 10:11:31 10:11:33 10:11:35 12 NIGEL 10:12:05 13 Gasps We had an expert come in who deals with venomous snakes and poisonous spiders and dangerous insect, and he would hand hold these things bare hand. But then when he saw that we had the Scolopendra Gigantea He legged it He put on these big leather gloves, he had long metal tongs. And he basically said this thing is so dangerous that if you get bitten There’s no hope You will not die but you will wish for death Dean Hardscrabble I should hope you’re all properly inspired LINK TO PART 2 Coming up in part two I’m going to be perfecting the perfect monster roar in Scare School END OF PART 1 PART 2 PIXAR RECAP This place is amazing, it’s like a playground There’s a chill out zone with games, table football, everyone gets a scooter, there’s characters from all the movies like Nemo, Luigi from Cars.

What was it like to get stuck into these characters again? Well you know it was kinda thrilling because for me I really miss them. It’s been almost like 12 years since we first met them and it felt like second nature to get into them again Really.. I think there is a little more to it than that It’s just like falling... I see the movie every once in a while.. I miss this guys JOHN I miss the whole reality that Pixar created NIGEL The characters that are there.. they are a little bit younger now they are 18 now...how are they different?

Who comes up with this stuff? Let’s go meet the brainstorming team BRAINSTORMING IV So I’m here with Dan & Kori. Director and producer of Monsters University. Guys it’s an amazing film. Why the idea to go in to the past and see where it all began? We wanted to make a film where we got to learn just a little more about these guys relationship Ok I’ll lift the bed you grab the pig 123 Waaah Plus we figured Monster college would be awesome Fantastic Careful he’s a biter Was it hard to choose what you wanted to keep or maybe didn’t have time to use in Monsters University Well there’s a lot of great characters in Monsters Inc. There’s always a temptation to bring them all back and do a lot of cameos but we wanted to keep those characters special to that film Sorry what are your favourite comedy moment from the first film and from this film? I think it’s hard to pick one scene from Monsters Incorporated but really every scene in which Mike and Sulley are bickering and going at each other Yuck! PTC IV MC MC MC SULLEY Mum? What are you doing? MC MIKE SULLEY Your grubby paw was in my bed We’re you kissing my hand? MC MC MIKE KORI Excuse me The comedy in that relationship was fantastic Ouch. First morning in the house That’s going in the album I just remember my favourite part of Monsters Inc. The “In Seven” when the guys is holding up seven fingers Dude! That is one of my favourites!

MC SQUISHY ART DAN NIGEL 10:16:19 18 NIGEL 10:16:35 19 NIGEL SCOTT MONSTERS NIGEL SCOTT NIGEL SCOTT NIGEL SCOTT SCOTT MONSTER FACTS & LINK TO ANIMATION IV Guess how many individual hairs Sulley has on his whole body? Five and a half million, and each one has to be animated in 3D for the final movie. So let’s go find how Sulley is made more life-like in Monster Animation... SCOTT CLARKE ANIMATION IV The Party Scene IV All of the Fraternity are at a party. They’re really excited to be there except for Sulley. Squishy is having the time of his life and he is Roping him on to the dance floor. He gets him out on to the dance floor and Sulley decides to dance Yeah! MC So when you are doing something like this, bringing this to life, do you have to get freaky on the dance floor yourself and go try work it out? Well did do video reference of this guy So you know how to do this move I do know how to do this move You may have to show us later I might I might if you are nice to me I might I call this the going nuts pass – it’s just a different energy. Sulley is an interesting character. He is very confident. He is a little cocky, but he is probably not as comfortable on the dance floor as some of the other characters might be. So he had to have this interesting balance of confidence but reticence. So this version is what is in the film. It’s the final lighting, so with the disco MC Sulley on dance floor MIKE lights and everything [Demonstrating] His arms are up kinda, scary pose, hip hop, more relaxed His eyes are half lidded, he kinda has a goofy smile on his face It’s quite a jump from the last one to this one I think the lighting in this one really makes it feel like a party PRANK CLIP Alright. OK. Ha ha ha very funny Sullivan SULLEY You look great Rusawski MIKE You know if you are going to prank someone the least you could do is think of something clever SCOTT SCOTT NIGEL SCOTT 10:17:50 20 MONSTERS MIKE SULLEY 10:18:13 21 NIGEL NIGEL MC Sulley arms outstretched Back to looking at MC MC Arriving at the party Mike covered in Mirror Ball tiles MC Singing Mirror ball disco and slow song What?

If you are not scary what kind of a monster are you? Needless to say they expect the same of their students It’s my job to make great students greater, not make mediocre students less mediocre. That is why at the end of the semester there will be a final exam. Fail that exam and you are out of the scaring programme The thing is I am learning to be a bit of a scarer myself. I have been working on my scary stuff. Do you think I am going to make it, or have or got any tips for me? I would say you are not very good at being scary at the moment.. in fact I would say you are absolutely useless Useless! Absolutely useless Any tips, is there any hope for me? Yes, you have to find stillness, and you have to reach down into yourself and bring out the scary inner person Dean Hardscrabble, in the film her Backdrop of Monsters University MC Interview room MC Interview room HELEN movements are very precise, what did you think when you first saw it on screen? In movement, in general, it is always useful to have many many many feet MC HELEN NIGEL HELEN HELEN PRESENTER 10:21:38 24 NIGEL And I also have a fabulous pair of wings.. which I can unfurl, and Deans need to swoop in on people And finally, what do you think makes Pixar movies so amazing Pixar, itself, as you know from snooping around, is an incredibly creative place where The ability to imagine has not been forgotten.
