Each year, the Creative Arts Emmys -- which serve as the annual preamble the the Primetime Emmy Awards -- honor on-screen and behind-the-scenes talent across dozens of categories. This year, one of the winners was an innovative short film that has finally pulled in some much-deserved award recognition. 'Pearl,' a Vr project produced by Google, took home a statuette in the Outstanding Innovation in Interactive Storytelling category after previously earning an Oscar nomination.
'Pearl,' directed by animator Patrick Osborne, tells the story of a father and daughter as they live out of a beat-up old car. It is part of the Google Spotlight Stories initiative, through which Google has recruited skilled animators to create 360-degree content for Vr devices like Google Daydream. Boosted by its simple, effective emotional appeal, 'Pearl' became the first Vr project to earn an Oscar nomination when it emerged as...

Google Spotlight Stories offered a preview of The Book of Life director Jorge Gutierrez’s first virtual-reality/360 short, titled Son of Jaguar, this week at CG conference Siggraph. A release date hasn’t yet been announced.
"I was a Vr skeptic, then I saw Patrick Osborne’s Pearl. It made me cry, and I had to do this," the helmer confessed.
The result is a “super personal” eight-minute animated short with the themes of family and tradition.

In the week leading up to the 89th Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present a series of public programs celebrating this year’s nominees in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature, Documentary Short Subject, Foreign Language Film, Makeup and Hairstyling, and Animated and Live Action Short Film categories. All events will be held at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
Wamg attended the annual AMPAS reception featuring the 2016 Oscar nominated films in the Animated and Live-Action Short Film categories. The program featured screenings of all the nominated films in these categories, plus an onstage discussion with the filmmakers.
The evening was hosted by director Tim Miller (Deadpool), who himself was nominated in the Animated Short category in 2005 (Gopher Broke). In his opening comments, a clearly emotional Miller spoke about shorts being, for most filmmakers, a labor of love rather than a means to getting awards and accolades.

MaryAnn’s quick take… My pick: “Pearl” [pictured], blending new Vr tech with old-fashioned characters and emotions, demonstrating storytelling possibilities that are beginning to open up. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
The lessons and legacies parents pass on to their children. The dangers of not living in the present… or living too much in the present. These are the motifs woven through the five short animated films nominated for the Oscar this year.
“Pearl” is a lovely sketch of the creative bond between a father and daughter.
My favorite, and the one I’d like to see win, is “Pearl” [IMDb], from Disney animator Patrick Osborne (Big Hero 6), who won in this category two years ago with his delightful “Feast.” A lovely sketch of a relationship between a father and daughter from their rough early...

The Oscar for best animated short film may not generate nearly as much attention as other categories, but it strikes an exciting contrast with the more traditional forms of storytelling found throughout other categories.
These films usually celebrate animators from around the world — including a number of up-and-comers — who apply a range of visual techniques and sophisticated concepts only possible in the animated medium. This year is entirely North American, but still features a lot of different approaches — and yet, ironically, the frontrunner in the category is a very familiar name: Pixar.

Blind Vaysha – Canada – 8 minutes
I did a double take upon hearing Theodore Ushev‘s name alongside his animated short Blind Vaysha during the Oscar nominations because I’ve watched his work progress the past five years. This Canadian by way of Bulgaria is a Toronto International Film Festival staple, a guy who alters his aesthetic with every new project. Whether rotoscoping, hybridizing Cubism and Constructivism, or dabbling in Abstract Expressionism, though, you always know it’s an Ushev film because of its content and craftsmanship. His latest is no different, the adoption of woodcutting lending an old school storybook feel to a tale that speaks towards today’s climate of hope and despair. Narrated by Caroline Dhavernas, Vaysha’s story begs us to open our eyes and see...

Those of you who haven’t been taking virtual reality seriously should start doing so right now. For the first time ever, the Oscars have nominated a Vr film, which means the filmmaking style is officially taking hold and is undoubtedly here to stay — at least for the time being. Pearl has snagged a nomination in the best animated short category and stands a chance at winning big. Let’s take a look at what this moment means for the future of Vr and how it stands against the competition.

It’s been 16 years since Pixar won the Oscar for best animated short (Ralph Eggleston’s “For the Birds”). Wouldn’t it be fitting if Alan Barillaro’s fine-feathered “Piper” ended the drought? That would give Pixar four Oscars (alongside Geri’s Game” and “Tin Toy”).
However, “Piper” faces stiff competition, particularly from Theodore Ushev’s much darker “Blind Vaysha” from the National Film Board of Canada, which has earned a dozen Oscars.
The other three contenders range from Robert Valley’s bleak “Pear Cider and Cigarettes” (Vimeo’s first Oscar nom), the melancholy Western, “Borrowed Time” (made independently by Pixar’s Andrew Coats and Lou Hamou-Lhadj), and the introspective “Pearl” from Oscar winner Patrick Osborne (Disney’s “Feast”), the first Vr nominee from Google Spotlight Stories.
“Piper”
The rite of passage for the adorable sand piper continues a long Pixar tradition of incubating innovative tech in its shorts program.

The nominations for the 89th Academy Awards are in and La La Land leads the pack with 14 nominations! I knew La La Land was going to explode at this event, and it's probably going to end up taking home many of the awards is was nominated for. The 14 nominations ties the record with 1997's Titanic and 1950's All About Eve.
Arrival ended up with eight nominations as did Moonlight, while Hacksaw Ridge, Lion, and Manchester by the Sea all got six. Deadpool ended up with zero nominations. I was hoping to see it somewhere on the list, but it looks like all that hype didn't work.
Every film and actor who was nominated for their work deserves to be on this list, so congratulations to them all! There are so many great films and actors to root for, but there can be only one winner in each category.

This year a record 69 animated short films vied for an Oscar nomination, with ten making the shortlist, and five final nominations.
For six years, Disney or Pixar has been nominated in the category every year, and won twice (“Paperman” and “Feast”). This year Pixar’s “Piper,” from Alan Barillaro (“Wall·E,” “Brave,” “Finding Nemo”), could mark a Pixar win for the first time since Ralph Eggleston’s “For the Birds” 15 years ago. That would give Pixar four Oscars (alongside Geri’s Game” and “Tin Toy”).

Patrick Osborne definitely likes making animated home movie-like experiences as snapshots in time. The Oscar-winning Disney short, “Feast” (2015), offered a series of eating vignettes in a dog’s life. Now he’s competing again with the 2D version of his Google Spotlight Stories Vr short, “Pearl,” a musical journey between a father and daughter inside their ’83 Chevy Citation.
Made at Evil Eye Pictures and Google Atap, “Pearl” also boasts the original song, “No Wrong Way Home,” written by Alexis Harte & Jj Wiesler and performed by Kelley Stoltz and Nicki Bluhm.

Last year, Google launched Spotlight Stories, a series of 360-degree video projects directed by acclaimed filmmakers. Some of the cleverest installments in the Spotlight Stories library have caught our attention in the past, and the channel’s latest offering is arguably its best yet. It’s called Pearl, and it comes from Oscar-winning animator Patrick Osborne.
Pearl tells the story of a girl and her father as they live out of an old, beat-up car. Along the way, the vehicle picks up a lot of sentimental value, and across the five-and-a-half-minute runtime of Pearl, viewers are invited to join the short’s protagonist as she reminisces about her most important memories.
As Co.design notes, Pearl has been screened on 2D surfaces before, specifically at the Tribeca Film Festival. The best way to experience the film, however, is in virtual reality, through Google Cardboard or another similar device.

It really boggles my mind sometimes how quickly technology is moving these days. Commercially available virtual reality is available now, though still pretty pricey. Computers that just a decade ago would have cost an arm and a leg are now small enough to fit on your pocket. It’s wild, and kind of scary. If I sound like an old fogey, don’t worry. You’ll get there. Eventually everyone does. I mean, just look at 360-degree video. With just a smartphone, you can basically have a tiny virtual-reality experience, and the technology has become easy enough to handle that it’s begun to find its way into the hands of filmmakers and artists, instead of just advertisers, and the results are pretty sweet. Just look at Pearl, a 360 degree short by Disney animator Patrick Osborne, if you still doubt it.

One of my favorite Disney Animated films of all time is Patrick Osborne‘s short film Feast, which was released theatrically in front of Big Hero 6 and won an Academy Award. Well Osbourne has already released his follow-up, although most people haven’t seen it yet because he created it for Virtual Reality. But thanks to Google 360, […]

Another lovely story from Patrick Osborne. Most of you will remember the animated short Feast that played before Disney's Big Hero 6 in 2014, as it told a love story while focused on an adorable little Boston Terrier puppy. Well, good news as the new short from Patrick Osborne is now online. It's actually Google 360 short, meaning you can interact with and spin the video any way you want, since it's set entirely inside a hatchback. The story is about a father and his daughter, named Pearl, and the times they spent together. It's as wonderful as Feast if not even more so. "It's not where you're from, but where you belong..." See below. Description from YouTube: "Set inside their home, a beloved hatchback, Pearl follows a girl and her dad as they crisscross the country chasing their dreams. It’s a story about the gifts we hand down and their power to carry love.

Apparently if you give Disney animator Patrick Osborne six minutes to direct, he'll use them to pluck every heart string he can. He did that with Feast, the adorable short depicting a love story from the perspective of a puppy who eats everything. That premiered in front of Big Hero 6, a movie Osborne was also an animator on, and went on to win the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. Now Osborne is back directing with Pearl, another six-minute short film that's as efficient and affecting as Feast. There's no puppy in this one, it's just a deceptively simple story about a father, his daughter, and the bond they share over the years. And the cool thing is you don't have to wait until the next big screen Disney movie to see it, either. It's online now as part...
