The art of animation makes it possible to enter places live action has no access to. “Inside Out” penetrates the human mind, where personified emotions rule the control centre. Animation is more and more creatively fed by digital possibilities. Matte paint combines art and technology directly like no other section. Therefore artists and technical staff collaborate very closely.
Swiss Martin Senn is a technical artist in the matte paint department at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville and discusses his work and knowledge where art and digital technology meet. Martin Sebastian Senn graduated at ETH Zurich in computer science with specialization in computer graphics. Since 2011 he has worked as a technical artist at Pixar Emeryville where he, along with other artists, completes sequences with painted/drawn elements and backgrounds, as for example the already famous ‘brain freeze’ effect in the beginning of the film, which he worked on.
