STUDIO VISIT Kicking off the show, Julie recounts her recent trip to the studio, describing the 2-day event which explored the research, creation and challenges the teams overcame along the path to make the modern day dinosaur film. Additional details from the visit can be found in our Behind-the-Scenes look at the film as well as our visit to the Pixar Archives. (Future podcast episodes will also share additional details on the event and interviews with employees.)   GOOD DINO CAMPUS CRAWL  Starting at 31:39 into the show, we chat about our visit to a Good Dino Campus Crawl event at Eastern Michigan University with Lighting Supervisor, Jonathan Pytko (additional details from the event are included in this post). SHARON CALAHAN INTERVIEW  Starting at 39:30 into the podcast, we share our group interview followed by our 1-on-1 interview with Director of Photography for Lighting, Sharon Callahan.
