On June 5th I visited Pixar Animation Studios for a shoot with the stars of the new animated film ‘Toy Story 3′ for USA Today.  On hand were Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Michael Keaton and comedian Jeff Garlin.

First, Hanks and Allen: The objective here was to shoot two completely different set-ups in the time allotted.  Which turned out to be 4 minutes from first shot to last.  With Keaton, however, we had a leisurely 6 minutes.  No sweat.  Mission accomplished.  Next!

Jeff Garlin was extremely affable and generous with his time and would have posed for us all day.  Either that or he just didn’t want to leave the big chair.
