This is especially true if they are tightly coupled to the story and performances, as is the case with the cooking in Ratatouille. Apurva will describe what some of these challenges were and how the effects team addressed them. In the process he will also describe some of the technical underpinnings of Pixar’s effects pipeline and shot specific techniques.
