Peter Tieryas är en av vår tids mest mångsidiga författare. Han har arbetat med film, TV-spel, romaner, animation och mycket annat. Han har även samarbetat med några av de största namnen och studiorna, däribland Pixar. Eftersom Toy Story 5 precis gått upp på bio när vi pratade med Tieryas under eventet Celsius 232, kunde vi inte låta bli att fråga om hans tid på den legendariska studion. Tieryas sade:
"One of the things I have to say about Pixar is it's one of the best places to work, by far, hands down.
The communication is so wonderful, everyone works together so well, and they're very open. And so you can go talk to the director anytime, give your feedback...There, you just pitch it directly to the director. And the directors are very knowledgeable about technical aspects, which again was very different from what I was used to."
Enligt Tieryas var en stor del av det som gjorde Pixar speciellt, utöver organisationen, studions vilja att ta risker:
"The focus is on being as creative as possible. You always feel okay to fail. I think that's a really big thing with creativity, is no matter what you're doing, like say there is an established IP, you might say, oh, this kind of goes contrary to what I was saying before, but you might be afraid to take risks. Whereas in the environment that Pixar encourages, it's okay to take the risk, and they might not end up using it, but still they're open to trying it. And that sense of experimentation and creativity, I think, is what makes Pixar so alluring, and the fact that they're always willing to adapt and change."
Tieryas arbetade med Toy Story 4 och Soul under sin tid på Pixar, men har sedan dess gått vidare. Om du vill höra mer om hans kommande projekt, liksom hans romaner, spel och mycket annat, kan du se hela intervjun nedan:
