Hey everyone!
New member here, longtime lurker, first time poster!
I wanted to share with you all a project some friends and I are working on called "The Road to Pixar." We are building a full size replica of the Pizza Planet truck from the Toy Story films (as well as every other Pixar film), and taking it on a road trip from our home in Southern California to Emeryville - home of Pixar's studio. We will be filming a documentary along the way and stopping at several colleges and roadside attractions and interviewing folks about how the Toy Story films/Pixar films in general have affected their lives, if so in any way.
This has been a long time in the making, and just recently we have been moving along pretty quickly. We now have freshly painted yellow truck complete with: side magnets, hanging aliens from the rear view mirror, the signature "YO" on the tailgate, custom license plates from the movie coming in the mail, and a fiberglass mold of the rocket for the top.
Since we are all college students, funding is tight and we have set up a donation site to help with those funds, along with our Facebook, Twitter, and Wordpress sites. Even Lee Unkrich the director of Toy Story 3 has shown an interest in the project! (We're still coming off the high from that one).
Basically, I just want to spread the word and see if anyone is interested in the project. There will be some links attached where you can check out some photos/videos of the truck in it's current state, and hopefully you can help us spread the word.
Thanks everyone!
(Mods, if this isn't the appropiate thead, feel free to move, and sorry in advance!)
