Abstract:
Pixar’s OUT, released summer 2020 on Disney+, is a short film with a highly stylized look, produced under the in-house SparkShorts program. The program champions new creative voices and storytelling via tight-knit production teams that work with limited budgets to push the boundaries of animation production at Pixar.

Ultimately we landed on a style that was somewhere on the bridge
