Jim Hill looks into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways Pixar came up with to make a big blue furball and a giant green eyeball look younger for their upcoming film Monsters University. How did they start? By asking the production team to bring in their senior portraits. “So we gathered together all of these high school pictures. And after we all had a good laugh at everyone’s weird hairstyles & interesting fashion choices, we then took a close look at the differences between the 18 year-old version of a person and what they eventually came to look like as an adult,” character art director Jason Deamer said.
