Leo Matsuda\u2019s \u2018Inner Workings\u2019 Finds Balance Between Work and Play<\/a>
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inner Workings<\/em>, the latest short film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, is about a man who goes to work at his soul-crushing job but is constantly distracted by his heart\u2019s desire to get out of the office and live a little. Voiced by storyboard artist Raymond S. Persi (also the voice of Zootopia<\/em>\u2019s Flash) the delightful short is currently playing in theaters ahead of Moana<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A combination of hand-drawn and CG animation, Inner Workings<\/em> employs the studio\u2019s proprietary 2D interpolation software Meander, which was previously used in the Oscar-winning shorts Paperman<\/em> and Feast<\/em>. Written and directed by Leo Matsuda, Inner Workings<\/em> co-stars a man and his organs: The heart and its lung buddies are driven by emotion and spontaneity, pulling the rest of the body along in search of instant gratification. The brain is a tedious task-master trying to curb these outbursts of frivolity so its host can focus on his mundane job. Evoking an 80s pre-Internet vibe, the original score for the film was composed by Ludwig G\u00f6ransson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced as part of the WDAS short film program, Inner Workings<\/em> was selected from a group of 73 pitches. Matsuda and producer Sean Lurie presented the world premiere screening of the six-minute, 23-second project at this year\u2019s Annecy festival, where it was enthusiastically received, and Inner Workings<\/em> is now one of 10 titles under consideration for an Oscar nomination in the short film category. (Read full story\u2026<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
