Animation Mentor even got nicknamed the &#8220;mafia&#8221; by some people at that time since we snapped all the jobs.<\/p>\n<p>I was impressed when I saw her reel and especially that last emotional acting shot that immediately reminded me of the work coming out of AAU&#8217;s Pixar Class so I wasn&#8217;t surprised to hear she landed a job at Pixar.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4902\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/93103702\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4902\" class=\"wp-image-4902 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/olivier-ladeuix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Allison-Rutland-Interview-768x499-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"470\" height=\"305\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4902\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Allison Rutland old showreel<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Finally many years later and after she had a very successful career at Pixar I was very happy to hear the story about that shot and I wasn&#8217;t surprised to hear it was\u00a0 a shot that took her close to 2 years to finish.
