2/100 - In awe of San Fransokyo

(Disney)

I finally got around to watching Big Hero 6. One of the coolest things about it (besides Baymax... "balalala") is the fictional city of San Fransokyo. I didn't know the backstory of the city's creation going into the movie, but afterwards I did a bit of research. 

Its a combination of San Francisco city data, Disney's new program Hyperion and I'm guessing A LOT of long hours... but the result is pretty stunning. 

“The filmmakers’ idea — never stated in the film — is that in a parallel universe after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the city split off and an influx of Japanese immigrants helped rebuild it.”

#The100DayProject

I'm taking part in The 100 Day Project.  My project: 100 days of "daily dispatch." It's a concept discussed in Austin Kleon's book, Show Your Work. 

"Once a day, after you've done your day's work, go back to your documentation and find one little piece of your process that you can share." - Show Your Work pg. 48

The posts will be on this site and on my instagram.
