What I learned from CREATIVITY, PIXAR Director's Book

This is indeed an amazing book! I have enjoyed reading every single page!

Many topics such as:

• How Computer Graphics got its beginnings and evolution
• How technology and art can co-exists
• How it is like going from a research team to build a company
• How PIXAR started (and where the name comes from)
• How to handle honesty <> candor! Importance of feedback
• Creating a workspace that inspire for creativity
• Involving your thousands employees into important decisions from the company
• Not loosing the company’s culture even if you were bought (Disney bought it)
• The importance about the tech people “building up” the movie getting involve into the whole process of development of the movie’s “story”

• Never lower your quality and excellence! (this was greeatly explained when they faced the challenge to come up with Toy Story 2, for example)

• Team work! Really important… build a great team! and people > ideas
  “give an idea to a mediocre team, they will destroy it; give any idea to a brilliant team and they will surprise you”

and yeah… overall how to deal with Steve Jobs 🤓

Psss The name “Pixar” comes from a combination of “radar” and “pixer,” a made-up Spanish word.
