A young accountant named George is standing on an elevated train platform in 1. New York City,6 holding a folder, when he is hit by a flying piece of paper. The paper is chased by a young woman named Meg who lost it to a gust of wind from a passing train. The same thing happens to George when a subsequent gust of wind from another incoming train dislodges one of the papers from his folder and blows it into Megs face, leaving a lipstick smudged kiss imprinted on the paper, much to her amusement when George retrieves it. He is entranced by the lipstick mark and Megs beauty, and therefore misses her boarding the departing train. The two exchange looks as she departs. George arrives at work, despondent, gazing at the lipstick marked paper on his desk. He looks out the window and is surprised to find Meg in the building across the street, working in an office with an open window. After failing to get her attention by waving his arms, George begins folding airplanes from a stack of papers on his desk, throwing them out the window one by one in an attempt to get her to notice him. Unfortunately, his efforts are met with varying levels of failure, as well as disparaging looks from his boss. In desperation, having used all of the paper on his desk to no success, he uses the lipstick marked paper, although this fails as well when a gust of wind tugs it from his hands. Meg then leaves the office, and George, rebuffing his boss, dashes from his desk. Rushing across a street of busy traffic, he fails to see which way she went, and only finds the final lipstick marked paper airplane. Angered, he throws it hard and it soars into the sky. It turns out many of the paper airplanes have collected in a nearby alley, and when the lipstick marked paper airplane lands among them, they begin to stir and fly from the ground, seeming to come alive, and set off in pursuit of George. A cloud of paper airplanes forces him toward a nearby train station and onto a train, much to his confusion. Meanwhile, the lipstick marked paper airplane sets off in pursuit of Meg, finding her at a flower stand. Recognizing the lipstick marked paper, she chases the airplane to another train station and aboard a different train. Theyre finally brought together when both of their trains stop at the same station George still covered in paper airplanes and Meg holding his lipstick marked paper airplane. As the credits roll, they are seen chatting happily with each other at a restaurant table with the lipstick marked paper between them. Voice casteditProductioneditConception and writingeditEvery morning on my way to work I would go through Grand Central Station. You feel that connection for a split second and wonder who that person was. Thats the core idea of it what if two people were really perfect for each other, and they had that chance meeting And what if they were separated how would those two people get back together again And how could a little bit of magic and fate intervene to bring them back together Director John Kahrs on his inspiration behind Paperman. In an interview with Animation World Network, director John Kahrs revealed that Paperman first materialized when he was working as an animator at Blue Sky Studios during the 1. Kahrs conceived Paperman while he was traveling on his routine commute through Grand Central Station, where he was inspired by the random connections you sometimes make with people on these excursions. As a result, he created a story about a guy who makes a connection with this girl on his long commute, elaborating, The story really is about what happens when he tries to get her back and make that connection again. Describing Paperman as an urban fairytale,1. Empress Chung Streaming. Kahrs pitched the idea as an animated short to Disney Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter7 and Walt Disney Animation Studios several times. However, the studio refused to develop the project because they were pre occupied with Tangled 2. Kahrs also worked. It wasnt until after Tangled was completed that Disney, who was searching for a project that would fill the space between Tangled and Wreck It Ralph,1. Paperman was finally green lit. Kahrs developed the story on storyboards1. Paperman. However, he admitted that the writing was really a collaborative process because he constantly received creative input from a peer group of directors. Lasseter, who served as an executive producer on the film, also made frequent contributions. The main character, George, was inspired by George Bailey from the film Its A Wonderful Life 1. According to Kahrs, Bailey, like George, experiences the full gamut of life, from the highest highs to the lowest lows. Hes a real guy he gets frustrated. Hes got dreams. 1. AnimationeditWhile searching for a way to merge 2. D and 3. D animation, Kahrs discovered Meander, a hybrid vectorraster based drawing and animation system that gives artists an interactive way to craft the film. Character designeditThe character design of Paperman has been likened to that of Disneys traditionally animated film, One Hundred and One Dalmatians 1. Several comparisons have been drawn between the characters George from Paperman and Roger from 1. Dalmatians, specifically the fact that they both share similar body types. Georges appearance underwent several alterations. However, Kahrs always intended for the character to have a rather large nose. I thought it would be okay if he could have a big nose. If you put breaks in it, and so forth, give it structure. It can still be really fun and attractive. Longtime Disney animator Glen Keane worked on Georges love interest, Meg. According to Kahrs, both Paperman characters George and Meg were intentionally drawn to complement and match each others designs. Paperman is considered a hybrid of both 2. D and 3. D technology. When describing the inspiration for the films unique style of animation, which was created with a new in house technology called Meander,1. Kahrs stated, We brought together as best we could the expressiveness of 2. D drawing immersed with the stability and dimensionality of CG. It really goes back to working with Glen Keane on Tangled, watching him draw over all the images. The technique, called final line advection,1. In Paperman, we didnt have a cloth department and we didnt have a hair department. Here, folds in the fabric, hair silhouettes and the like come from the committed design decision making that comes with the 2. D drawn process. Our animators can change things, actually erase away the CG underlayer if they want, and change the profile of the arm. And they can design all the fabric in that Milt Kahl kind of way, if they want to. VoicingeditIn an interview with her schools alumni association, Kari Wahlgren, who voiced Meg, said that she was asked to do the role because of her previous involvements in Bolt and Tangled. Recording for her role in the film took about 3. She said Since the film is mostly silent, they just wanted some vocal ambiance that they could experiment with. We played with lots of different vocal reactions in the session snorts, gasps, breaths. I think one chuckle made it into the final mix. Im actually glad they kept it mostly silentI think it makes the short even more powerful that way. ReleaseeditThe short film premiered at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in June 2.
