The Birth of Pixar
George Lucas was a Genius. That much was true when you first met him, worked on Graffiti, Star Wars, and were around him. It was just one of those things that you learned how to deal with. He reforged Lucasfilms into something incredible, and legendary even, and showed no sign of stopping.
That also meant you didn't really… understand what he was doing half the time. Same with Mike.
Then you saw the computer.
The large amount of computers that were gathered in the Office. "What the hell is that for?" You asked.
"Oh, that." He smiled. "Welcome to Pixar… The cutting edge technology of computer animation."
"The computer?" you asked.
"Yes." He said with a smile. "Gone will be the halcyon days of hand-drawn animation, time-consuming process, and much work. Think about it. A single person can eventually do the creation of an entire team. Hell even create a whole film."
Your eyes were bugged out, but you just nodded. "Whatever you say, George."
"I lost you, didn't I?" He smiled, as you gave a nod. "Never mind, oh well, we don't have anyone to work here yet, and honestly, that is fine right now. Maybe we'll start looking at things. Oh and don't tell Don about this room, or he might destroy it, and we would be down a bit of money."
"Uh…" You were just shocked. Shocked that George did all this.
He then shut the door, showing the title of the Office. Pixar HQ.
REward: Pixar is founded. George is taking the reigns of it, but he says that soon, things will be here for animation from computers to begin.
