 Welcome back to the review and today I'm gonna take a look at the making of one small step. Well, let's check out the making of book. This is the front, there's nothing in the back really, small spine, but that is the front. And there we go. Xiaofu used to be my students, and I don't say this in terms of like, he learned from me. He was already really good when he was in class. So it was, I'm not surprised that he went to Disney and has now is now CEO of TECO Studios. It was abundantly clear that he has so much talent. It was great. So it's great to see him flourish. But anyway, me dropping names, but that is the forward. And then you got the studio photo here. Oh, there you go. He was in my, he was in my class. Dude, that's awesome. Xiaofu right there. Research trip. I would love a research trip like that. Come on. Here's a story. By the way, spoilers, if you haven't seen it yet, I'm just gonna let you know there's spoilers. Early pitch as it says here, you know what this is. This is a flip through. Cute. Always like seeing storyboards and explorations like that. You can see the whole thing right there. As I said, spoilers design are super cute. Love it. It's very cool. Definitely pay attention to the change of hairstyle. She gets older, recurring themes. I love this. I don't know why this fascinates me so much when you have a model and then you have drawovers with text. There's something like, ooh, this, this screams learning. I don't know. I don't know why. Love this though. This is great. Great to see this silhouette treatment. Your characters from model render to the actual look in the short, which is really cool. The body mechanics of her going up the stairs and all that stuff is also really great. Super cute with the shoes. I mean, I really have only, only glowing words about the short. Absolutely. Check it out. And this is why I love that this has a, a making of book with all that stuff in here where you got the models, you got reference footage, you got, you know, the different elements and layers as to how they did this. Actually, I think Andrew tweeted this out a while back. I'll put the link description as well where you see that or how the hair is animated. It's not simmed from what I remember. Super cute. Come on. It's just so great to see this. I love that. It's just inspiring to see how it starts and how it ends. Again, more spoilers rigging. Yeah, I am. Under the hood as it says here, but it's cool to see full insight into the pickers, how many controls they have. Of course, don't use all the controllers. Breaking down the hair rig. That's what I was talking about. That is so cool. That's the cheat and that's the look of it. So neat. Lots of controls on that box, which you need. You're going to deform it like that. Probably my favorite part. I'm biased, but I do love animation. There you go. From storyboards to writing manics to the final version. There you go. I look into Maya scenes as well. There you got the team. So cool. Technical animation. Yeah, it's so neat. There's so much awesome stuff in there. Lighting and compositing, which is huge because the look is really, really nice. I think I remember seeing this back when I was at ILM. They showed it there in the big theater, which was fantastic. There we go. Got some beauty shots there. They're awesome. Of course, different kind of mood depending on what's going on. I love this when she continues with that. It's so great. And then at the end, she makes it. Beautiful frames. Come on. And then we have course effects. Also really nicely done. Love this. Should we spend any time on the animation minute or anything where I go through 2D effects? I love it. And yes, the sound and the music was also great. See that? I love that stuff. If I wouldn't do animation, I would do anything with... That sounds like I could just do what I'm saying. If I could magically change my profession, sound design and that type of music, more sound design. But I see this and I just, to me, these are cool instruments where you can tweak things and just... It's a different kind of emotional manipulation anyway. Instead of the visuals, it's through audio. But look at this setup. I don't know. This is to me just... I nerd out and I love it. Team collaboration. Lots of famous faces in there. It's cute to see a personal touch to all of this. And there we go. Towards the end. Super cute. One small step. There you go. The end. Super cute. Highly recommended. Again, if you haven't seen this short, you should absolutely watch it. It is really, really well done. And all the work they've done since is this really high class.
