Hughes on PS TV; Julieanne on PS

• My friend & fellow PM Bryan O’Neil Hughes recently sat in with the Photoshop TV guys, and you can see him in the current episode (starting around the 11-minute mark). Bryan discusses Configurator, some future directions for Photoshop, and more.
• If you’re not yet subscribing to Julieanne Kost‘s great Photoshop blog, you might want to check it out. She provides bite-sized sets of tips each day (or thereabouts), and the tips are nicely categorized. You can also read her blog right inside Photoshop CS4 if you’d like.

Assorted Pixar Awesomeness

• Former Pixar production artist Lou Romano has posted a wealth of materials (videos, photos, paintings, and more) showing how the art of UP came to be. He shows how everything from gouache & miniatures to Photoshop & After Effects come together to explore & prototype the work.
• In a follow-up post, Lou has shared higher-res images of the complete color script for UP. [Via]
• The Art of the Title Sequence celebrates the wonderful end titles from WALL-E, interviewing director Jim Capobianco and animator Alexander Woo. [Via]
