MEET TED MATHOT

Ted Mathot is a Pixar veteran with films like Incredibles 1 & 2,  Ratatouille , Wall-E, Brave, and Finding Dory under his belt. Ted got his start on the Simpsons and later worked at Dreamworks as a story artist.   He was the story supervisor on Brad Bird's Incredibles 2.  

“Being the story supervisor, it’s my job to keep the entire movie in my head the whole time. And that includes where we’ve been and where we might be going. There are surprises, sure, but generally when you are crafting this thing, you kind of know where you are going.”

MEET DEREK THOMPSON

Derek has contributed to numerous film projects, including Men in Black, the Mummy films, Star Wars: Episode 3, WALL-E, and the Incredibles 2. His early career included stints as a freelancer at Electronic Arts, Dark Horse Comics and Maverick Studios before he joined Industrial Light and Magic, and then Pixar in 2005.

“The storyboard artist has to wear a lot of hats, thinking like a director, actor, editor, cinematographer, production designer, art director, and more. Then you have to be able to draw your ideas to communicate them.”
