ScreenShots Movies: The Blue Umbrella

The Blue Umbrella is a 2013 Pixar computer-animated short film that was released alongside Monsters University.[4] The short is directed by Saschka Unseld of Pixar's technical department. The short featured new techniques in photorealistic lighting, shading, and compositing

A city scene is brought to life by a rainstorm. Many objects along the street signs, lights, awnings, mailboxes, buildings, drains, drain pipes, rain gutters, windows appear to come to life and develop faces and expressions of their own, enjoying the shower. People pass on the street under their umbrellas, all of which are seemly black, except for a singular blue umbrella. As his owner stops at a street corner, the blue umbrella sees a pretty red umbrella next to him. The two exchange nervous glances, and soon become smitten with each other, but their owners' paths diverge.
