¬ Ispirazione e ricerca
The Carta Marina inspired our map …

We called the island in our movie Isola del Mare. It’s inspired by Isola del Tino in front of Portovenere.#LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/h2hmndTJVa

Saint George and the dragon were the inspiration for some of this iconography in Portorosso. Here’s one from a church in Portofino. Saint George is the protector and symbol of Genova. pic.twitter.com/vg43hosOhj

Here is an amazing and illuminating paper model which pushed us into more caricature for the town. Don Shank again #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/MlV48KK3ci

Here they are, the Cinque Terre via @sketchcrawl’s imagination. Even in this early sketch one can sense a fable-like quality. #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/jaigLx61aH
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
This image of our @pixarluca trio was primarily an exploration of the visual tone of the film, playing with colors in the shadows, and the lost-and-found handmade textures in the environment. The question was: what does summer feel like? #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/1lJlJJbquO
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 23, 2021
An exploration of Luca and the particular light of the jellyfish, which is not just white, but containing many colors.

You may have noticed that they are the "lamps" above the kitchen table in the final film. #pixarLuca pic.twitter.com/ahw5VVxVvd

¬ Production design
The first time I painted the Portorosso Piazza for @PixarLuca in March 2017, complete with Giulia, Massimo and their house. (Btw, who caught the Piazza name in the movie? ;) pic.twitter.com/oE1U7Oo59Y
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 21, 2021
Portorosso: I wanted our team to design a space that was both authentic to the real locations, but that also felt like it was a practical movie set which we happened to be caricaturing. I painted this to inspire our teams to think both authenticity & storytelling #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/1SPqbOPsCD

Portorosso! This was a style-defining piece by Jennifer Chang #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/dXE4On70cJ

Kristian Norelius planned out the entire triathlon race course through the streets and vineyards of Portorosso #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/AzWfIttUkn
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
In an older version of the film we used to go inside Massimo’s pescheria. Don Shank put so many amazing storytelling details in there #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/I6LNDBKqt5
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
In early development Sylvain Marc dreamt up this sea monster kitchen scene and we kept going back to this image over time as inspiration for the interior’s feel #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/xEppO8OT9v
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
This piece by Don Shank was an important one to show the flow of the sea monster homes. They can swim in any direction after all #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/baSt4PNWmZ
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
Here’s another sea monster home concept by Don Shank. We looked at Trulli (traditional homes from Puglia, Italy) before moving toward more organic shapes for the final design #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/oV8ZH60WXL
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
The island was also designed by Kristian Norelius. See the Vespa Ramp on the left here #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/DifVbgPUkp

The interior of Alberto’s hideout was the first interior set we built and shaded. This is the final shading design by Laura Phillips #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/tyCl7T2787

This is where the fun begins. My favorite makeshift Vespa by Kristian Norelius #LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/ZqnMwm5nke
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
Massimo’s boat is a traditional gozzo, a typical Ligurian boat that was ubiquitous in the past (and still found today). Nat McLaughlin also designed some lamparas for night fishing #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/RmjqEmsOLI

— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
Our Color and Shading Art Director Jennifer Chang created handmade textures for Luca, including for his skin & eyes. If you look closely at his irises the gleam is like a moving brushstroke #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/o5nysEr7C6
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
Who loves whale carcass? It just floats in your mouth, what’s not to love! Zio Ugo was designed by Dan Holland. Final color and texture by Maria Yi #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/1hPN7HAkKc

¬ Story
Some development sketches and storyboards featuring an underdog very near and dear to my heart! This was one of my most joyous experiences on Luca—digging around with the team to really get to know Giulia and her funny, authentic self. (1/2) #luca pic.twitter.com/8TpkR5UClS

I had so much fun boarding this scene thanks to Machiavelli!! Best cat in the world! #lucawatchparty #luca pic.twitter.com/4DfZ2MBVFJ

I loved boarding this fantasy sequence. So glad we got to put Pinocchio in as well! Also thank you @Dan_romer for scoring this scene so beautifully!! @J4M3S_B4K3R helped me draw in Giulia! #lucawatchparty pic.twitter.com/RJcz9KDoEH

"You're the one who get's afraid!!" collab between me and @mitra_shahidi #lucawatchparty pic.twitter.com/Uvk1XNl4AX
— Yon Lee/ 李勇辉 (@yodelui) June 26, 2021
Boarding this scene made me sad. @_jesse_andrews_ did an amazing job writing this scene and the animators/light/comp/production killed it. #lucawatchparty pic.twitter.com/4UxQj2Fskv

¬ Cinematography
The friendship montage looks as beautiful as it does because of Daniel Lopez Muñoz’ brilliant color script #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/oPHOuukVZp

Here are some lighting keys for the “Runaway” sequence. #lucawatchparty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/xPuHkLKioW

These are the lighting keys for the following sequence, “Swim.” Full of optimism for the adventure ahead. pic.twitter.com/J7lKA8ssC0

Lighting keys for “Massimo Dinner” Huge shoutouts to @FirstNameDani Daniel Lopez Muñoz, Kim White and her lighting team their vision and execution of the lighting design of #PixarLuca #lucawatchparty pic.twitter.com/SHrosd7yDq
— Paul Abadilla (@paulabadillaart) June 26, 2021
The imagination sequences were so fun! A cool diagram Bill Cone made to plan this awesome camera move, using his own pastel concepts. How cool is THAT?!? #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/E9umHPj4Tr
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
The most dramatic lighting in the film, during the betrayal, by Daniel Lopez Muñoz juxtaposed with the least colorful sequence, during reconciliation, by Ernesto Nemesio. SO GOOD! #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/3Ed6tSa3UN
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
Daniel Lopez Muñoz color keys are magic. The steam in front of Alberto.... I feel it, just like my misty eyes #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/1tKt42g20M

¬ Modeling e shading
Can we talk about how amazing this model of Giulia’s house is? Josh West, our Sets Model Lead was part of the art team for a while, sculpting Portorosso one stone at a time #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/Df3TsmrfQG
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
Don’s paper model inspired Josh West to caricature the town model further #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/xppyjtoI3k
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
A visual goal for the film was to blend natural looking patterns painted textures but not have the environments feel too "painted". I did some early looksdev testing for @FirstNameDani and Jenn Chang. Here is a brief thread showing a "recipe" for rocks #LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/U8v2wBUdEs
— Chris Burrows (@ChrisBurrowsCG) June 26, 2021
Pasta shader packet painting w the guidance of Jenn Chang, Shader Art Director. LOTS OF FIRST HAND RESEARCH DONE FOR THISSSS #lucawatchparty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/ectOB7gY2P

¬ Rigging e Animazione
Some of my planing for my shots on #PixarLuca I always like to sit and plan everything on paper, do some thumbnails based of @sketchcrawl notes. #lucawatchparty pic.twitter.com/NdukZHvHC5
— Animation Addict (Tal) (@animationaddict) June 26, 2021
We were so lucky to have Bolhem Bouchiba on the show. He helped us define Luca’s movement and how to appealingly group his tail and limbs for maximum flow #LucaWatchParty #PixarLuca pic.twitter.com/Uz6DRf3koa
— Daniela Strijleva (@FirstNameDani) June 26, 2021
One of my favorite multilimb shots by @ItsRobbGibbs. He managed to choreograph a lot of limbs as Alberto tumbled down the hill. #LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/Q2WTbtBOho
— Kevin Singleton (@Kevicake) June 26, 2021
How many people jumped when Uncle Ugo appeared?! I love this model and rig by Sal. Each organ and rib had controls for animators to move them around inside of Ugo's body. #LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/vbAPImmHW3
— Kevin Singleton (@Kevicake) June 26, 2021
Hair paddles are what we called the sea monster version of hair. Each paddle was sculpted from a few set topologies. Luca had the most hair paddles at 60. #LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/tQhVHuWzy0
— Kevin Singleton (@Kevicake) June 26, 2021
At one point in this shot, Ercole’s mouth is opened so wide that his far ear ended up in his mouth. We went in and cleaned it up. Love the silhouette poses Animation achieved on this show. #LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/6nNSuoVWbX
— Kevin Singleton (@Kevicake) June 26, 2021
The toes on our humans had an extra joint than what usual Pixar characters have. This allows for more dynamic posing of the feet and toes. #LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/no724vJe6E
— Kevin Singleton (@Kevicake) June 26, 2021
Imagine going through The Change for the first time and you grow extra fingers and toes. Our transformation artist Seth created one mesh that could warp into both human and sea monster shapes. #LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/zDRPquWu4V
— Kevin Singleton (@Kevicake) June 26, 2021
Great animation by Victor. What do you do when a character without a neck and with his jaw halfway down his chest has to move his head 90 degrees each way? Characters shot sculpting fix! #LucaWatchParty pic.twitter.com/aC0rn4toJV
— Kevin Singleton (@Kevicake) June 26, 2021
The first explores Giulia and Massimo’s relationship. So sweet. As you can tell Machiavelli’s rig wasn’t ready yet.
— Enrico Casarosa (@sketchcrawl) June 26, 2021
It’s by the amazing Victor Navone!
