Catch Up.

It’s been a while since we last updated the blog but fear not! It’s time to catch up.

Here’s a “quick” clip from our trip to LA.

With a little help from our resident photo wizard Robert the truck has gone as far as our imagination can take us.  Here are a few “snapshots” from recent stops.

The crew headed into the studio to reminisce about the road trip for the interview portion of the final film.  Above is brief clip that shows the the kind of environment we work in.


Last month we met up with T.J., Julie and Partysaurus Rex himself from Pixar Post and took them all to Joe’s Ice for some local flavor.

During a quick trip Phelan we had a catastrophic systems failure with the rooftop rocket.

However with a bit of elbow grease, patience and a whole lot of packing tape we were able to prepare the rocket for display at the Heroes Complex Gallery in LA for their Righteous Rides and the Dudes Who Drive Them exhibition.

Akiba, a longtime friend of the crew and extended tripod supplier (Marco borrowed his tripod 8 years ago and just returned it), provided the elbow grease along with a steady hand to fix the rocket.-2We met up with Ezequiel and his crew from “Beyond the Gate” which made for an entertaining photo op for passing motorists.

As you can see we’ve had a busy few months and with summer swiftly approaching we have even more outings/events/cruises planned.  Stay tuned for some update later this week…

Fairmont Preparatory Academy

The other day I visited my English teacher from high school, who now teaches film in Anaheim.  The class had just completed a unit on Pixar and this was the surprise conclusion to their studies.

The truck sat at the quad for several hours and through lunch, where a crowd gathered quickly to take pictures from all angles.  Some students would walk past only to come back and check out a detail they had missed on the first look.

Thanks Mr. Yoon for inviting us, I had fun telling the students more about the project and it looked like they had fun checking out the truck too.
