About the speaker

Patrick Lin

Director of Photography - Camera

Pixar Animation Studios

Patrick Lin joined Pixar Animation Studios in September 1997 as a Layout Artist on A Bug's Life. For Lin's next project he worked as Layout Sequence Lead on Toy Story 2, and then as Lead Layout Artist on Monsters, Inc. Lin's work has been a part of three Academy Award®-winning features, The Incredibles as Director of Photography, and Ratatouille as Lead Layout Artist, and Up, as Director of Photography. Lin is currently working on a future Pixar project.

As Director of Photography – Camera, Lin leads a team of Layout Artists to scout out set locations, establish staging for each of the film's scenes, and to shoot and compose each shot, inside the computer. Lin and his team also determine initial character position, timing and blocking for the film's animators as well as help set the film’s pacing and refine shot flow by working closely with the editorial team.

Filmmaking is something Lin has wanted to do from the moment he discovered it could be studied at a university. While in film school, he shot student films and developed a passion for cinematography. Upon seeing Toy Story he realized that cinematography had become a part of animated films and he knew that was what he wanted to do.

Prior to coming to Pixar, Lin worked as a Camera Assistant for Midland Productions for client MGM and Skellington Productions, and then as a Motion Control Operator at Matte World. While at Matte World he worked on a number of productions including Wag the Dog, The Truman Show, Soldier and X-Men. He then went on to work as Director of Photography with Midland Productions for Tower Records, IMAX and Sea World.

Raised in Hong Kong, Lin left to attend high school in London, Ontario in Canada at the age of 15. He then came to the Bay Area and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Video from California College of Arts and Crafts. Lin has lived in the Bay Area ever since.
