Day in the Life

Our September subject is the amazing Aphton Corbin, who directed the new Pixar SparkShort Twenty Something, which premieres on Disney+ this month. Corbin, who was also a story artist on Pixar’s Toy Story 4 and Soul, is developing a feature project at the studio as well.

I start my day with some yoga and meditation. It’s the best way to get focused and centered before heading to work.

It’s time to head to the office. Lunch packed!

Oh hello, Pixar! Most days now, I work on campus — though many Pixar employees are still working from home.

Time to check the calendar for the day’s schedule. OK, actually, it’s time to draw the day’s calendar!

Despite working from the Pixar campus, I still gotta Zoom! Here’s a shot from my directorial debut, the Pixar SparkShort Twenty Something.

Lunchtime, oooooh yeah! And some tea to recharge.

Fueled up by my meal, I stay in Pixar’s Brooklyn building’s atrium and jot down ideas for my next project.

The day is wrapped and I walk down Pixar’s sidewalk, past the Steve Jobs Building and out to the parking lot — homeward bound.
