Ed Catmull这人真不简单,格局很大,是那种真正的聪明。
评分这是一本关于管理的书籍。
评分道理就是这些谁都懂的道理,但可以肯定是几乎没有人能够复制Pixar的成功,所以真正的秘诀是什么还是没说出来
评分How institution shapes ideas and why it matters. Creativity Inc is a story of fighting fear, complicity and ego, told in the classical Pixar way
评分"But ease isn’t the goal; excellence is.” 深刻感受到团队文化的重要性!
Ed Catmull is co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios and president of both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios. He has been honored with five Academy Awards, including the Gordon E. Sawyer Award for lifetime achievement in the field of computer graphics. He earned a B.S. degrees in computer science and physics and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Utah. He lives in San Francisco.
Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation Studios—into the story meetings, the postmortems, and the “Braintrust” sessions where art is born. It is, at heart, a book about how to build and sustain a creative culture—but it is also, as Pixar co-founder and president Ed Catmull writes, “an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible.”
For nearly twenty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner twenty-seven Academy Awards. The joyousness of the storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Now, in this book, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques, honed over years, that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable.
As a young man, Catmull had a dream: to make the world’s first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream first as a Ph.D. student at the University of Utah, where many computer science pioneers got their start, and then forged an early partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later and against all odds, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. The essential ingredient in that movie’s success—and in the thirteen movies that followed, all of which debuted at #1 at the box office—was the unique environment that Catmull and his colleagues built at Pixar, based on philosophies that protect the creative process and ideas that defy convention, such as:
• Give a good idea to a mediocre team, and they will screw it up. But give a mediocre idea to a great team, and they will either fix it or come up with something better.
• If you don’t strive to uncover what is unseen and understand its nature, you will be ill prepared to lead.
• It’s not the manager’s job to prevent risks. It’s the manager’s job to make it safe for others to take them.
• The cost of preventing errors is often far greater than the cost of fixing them.
• A company’s communication structure should not mirror its organizational structure. Everybody should be able to talk to anybody.
• Do not assume that general agreement will lead to change—it takes substantial energy to move a group, even when all are on board.
Advance praise for Creativity, Inc.
“Many have attempted to formulate and categorize inspiration and creativity. What Ed Catmull shares instead is his astute experience that creativity isn’t strictly a well of ideas but an alchemy of people. In Creativity, Inc., Ed reveals, with commonsense specificity and honesty, examples of how not to get in your own way and realize a creative coalescence of art, business, and innovation.”—George Lucas

评分前段时间,皮克斯最新一部长篇动画《头脑特工队》上映,依旧保持了皮克斯一致的水准(虽然我还没看)。皮克斯早已成为优质出品的代名词,所以我是怀着对皮克斯的景仰之情读的这本书。大学的一门外语课上,专门做过一次关于皮克斯的presentation,也写过《美食总动员》影评,还...
评分大多数工作让我觉得恐惧 —— 因为人变成了螺丝钉,只是完成工作的工具而已。假如没有多少钱,这样的生活有什么意义?可大多数公司都在强调要奉献、996…… 工作,就一定要当螺丝钉吗? 这本书就是对于这个问题的回答。主要内容可分为: - 皮克斯是怎样成功的(怎样建设Creativ...
评分乔布斯拯救了皮克斯,皮克斯拯救了迪士尼。奇迹一样的真实故事,让人感慨上天像有一只手在指引世界的进步,同时又不得不深刻地自我反思,这群卓越的精英尚且在如此努力,你又有什么资格松懈分毫。 无论你是谁都难逃现实的考验,差距就在于你的选择,很多人选择了更容易走的路,...
