Winning the Oscar for best animated short film, Alan Barillaro's "Piper" features a cute baby sandpiper that goes on the search for food. Barillaro was inspired by his trips to the beach where he saw birds of the same kind compete with the tide. With this inspiration, he wanted to create a beautifully detailed short. At Pixar, there are these things called a "Tool session" where animators test its proprietary software to see if it can be manipulated in new ways. Through these sessions, "Piper" was born and it took up to 40 animators to create the 6-minute animation for "Finding Dory". The short is featured below and one can follow the link to the article for the specifics of what Alan Barillaro had to do to create this beloved film.
