Man its so cool to see this creativity! The concept of the movie is already perfect. Soul music + human souls. I would have loved to be there when they came up with this idea!
No, listen. There's this other information (go check other Soul interview video) that "22" is just a shortened name. Her real name is something "107 billion 200 thousand and 322" (yeah I know it's too long that I barely remember, lol). Pete Docter mentioned that. Edit: 22's full name is 107 billion 337 million 217 thousand and 322 a.k.a 107.337.217.322 😂😂
@@NenaArindrasari That doesn't make as much sense to me though. If 22 were really the 22nd soul ever made, it makes sense why she has had different mentors from all ages of history.
@@TECfan1 yes, she received mentors throughout the history since she stuck in You Seminar for hundred/thousand years, as mentioned in the movie. Also the mentors she met (from the movie) are those who had lived during 10-20th century era. If 22 is literally The 22nd soul (without the billions name), she would have met mentors lived from the millions of years' era, and that's crazy.
That's actually an old technique used in a number of art installations that I've seen in past decades. Not in the Picasso style but using wires in 3d that look random but show a recognizable image as a shadow.
its funny how no one understands that jerry is just one being and that being is reality itself. the first jerry described herself as all the quantum fields of the universe.
Aerogel is not 'tough', actually it is unbelievably fragile and prone to shattering if handled incorrectly. It does however have incredible thermal insulating properties due to being mostly air, hence why it could be useful as part of a heat shield to withstand high reentry temperatures.
I love seeing all the work and research they do, seeing how their minds work and how a story develops, and its such an interesting detail that the souls are represented, or at least made to look like aerogel, thats awesome!
Could have gone farther with the “life shapes your soul” and made the souls of the once lived different colors and given them symbolically identifiable features based on their self identity and not just their appearance. The wire sculptures are awesome though I’d love to get one in an auction 🤩
Yeah, but I think the point of a soul is that no matter what color our skin is or what experiences we went through on Earth, we're all inevitably going to be on that escalator to oblivion when our life ends. But I do agree that it's an amazing and illuminating film! 👍
What a way to give kids existential crisis at a very young age. So the movie shows that when you die your soul will ceased to exist too while heading to "the great beyond".
they actually got inspiration for the lost souls from the default soul enemies from luigi’s mansion 3. From the look of void purple and glowing eyes and mouth, to the noises they make. They even run away from humans when in distress. Atleast that is what I think.
Aerogel isn’t tough. It’s actually quite fragile and disassembles quite easily. But it’s an incredible insulator of heat. It’s one of the best known. So it’s used in spacecraft and heat shields to keep the internal instruments and whatnot from melting. The heat stays outside and is never transmitted into the spacecraft. That’s why they’re in spacecraft.
Hey, I know this one cursed spirit that can mold souls, it's one of the most broken things I have seen, literally you guys have to see what he has done to people.
"BE NOT AFRAID" *Has so many eyes, rings, wings, colors, spectrums of light, and all kinds of other fckery, that ends up overloading the person's brain, giving them a seizure and causing brain damage*
Peter Docter looks like an example of Pixar's exemplary character design. Dat noggin though; It's probably why such vivid creations are made in that studio.
Same with people with silver colored eyes. I've seen it in a few people in my life. It's really fascinating! It's almost like...as one person with silver eyes I know put it, there eyes are so light blue, they appear silver.
All humans have blue eyes. Eye colors differ depending on the amount of pigment in the iris - blue eyes lack pigment, green eyes have some pigment, and brown eyes have a lot of pigment.
Wow really love your content this is amazing. What is your preferred camera you use for videomaking , I'd love to have a conversation and maybe even collaborate on different ways in telling stories through video !
6:15 Every time I saw one of the counselors, I always compared their art style to that intro scene from Fairly Odd Parents when Timmy turned Vicky ‘obtuse’.
I’ve always hated talking about kids like we never where kids. Like why do you have to say kids understand things like yes I was a kid and I understood the message in cartoons like do we forget at one point or something that we have to be reminded 😆
The design of the counselors is cool. The design of the souls... well, it's an interesting story I guess, but the end result is that they look like Casper the Friendly Ghost.
I like how they landed on the most basic design, i think if most people were asked to draw a soul or design a soul or what ever they'd come up with some light ghostly like figure, seems like a very complicated route to get to a very simple design.
I don't understand why Joe didn't die at the end.. As 22 finally accept life and born, i thought that Joe will die as he at the end already accept death.. Still this movie is very deep and emotional, amazing
That reminds me, when the first trailer came out I wanted to say something along the lines of “I like your unique take on the angels” but I never got the chance.
@@mentosmuncher I never noticed until you pointed it out, also I somehow can’t find a reason to refer to them as, “framework” except that it makes since, I just feel like I need to say it though.
TRAILER DOES NOT DO THE MOVIE JUSTICE!!!!! (Also, certain things in the trailer didn't even make it into the movie.) 22 gets a BEAUTIFUL story arc that I LOVED watching!!!
just found out that Pixar Storyboard artist Aphton Corbin, a black woman, is responsible for the conceptualization for the counselors as well (thank you Leah S. and Cai's Plasma Disk)
I'm wondering if any of the concept artists took inspiration from their own visions with meditation? The world they created looks a lot like what I see when I meditate.
Take notes fan fiction writers! I tried to write a warm up paragraph about Soul, without knowing what souls were made out of and I couldn’t do it adequately. So I was forced to avoid describing the material altogether. If I was describing the souls now, I would use the words foggy and gelatinous. Other words you can use are: porous, translucent, cloudy, opalescent, multicoloured. And maybe prismatic, rainbow-hued.
I would love to see them explain why they designed their black characters the way they did, and allowed a white woman to voice the black main. Really want to hear them defend the racial stereotypes behind the choices of the black designs versus the designs of the other characters.
the design of the counselors is one of the best accomplishments of the movie
completely agreed

The wire idea for the mentors is genius!
Those are the counselors, the mentors are human souls.
But you're are right, amazing idea.

Jazz music + Human souls = Life is an improvisation
This man is one of the greatest directors alive
True. Feels like he doesn’t get enough respect because he only does animation
True, sad that this is most likely his last film.
I only realised just now that 22 is such a low number, because she has been around for so so so so long, refusing to go
Yes, she's probably even older than all those people she met.
Yup! She was the 22nd soul ever made, assumedly.
No, listen. There's this other information (go check other Soul interview video) that "22" is just a shortened name. Her real name is something "107 billion 200 thousand and 322" (yeah I know it's too long that I barely remember, lol). Pete Docter mentioned that.

I have 4 pieces of aerogel i can contest it is very very fragile
Relative to its weight it’s considerably tough. They meant tough as in able to withstand high temps.

UNDERTALE
Imagine if a "Biblically accurate Angel" just popped out of nowhere in the movie.
Nightmares forever
Children would be mortified
It’d be the biggest designing achievement in animation honestly
I honestly wouldn't be surprised
i thought that what will happens when the accountant(?) or Terry goes to the earth and meet with Joe's friend Paul(?)
The counselors really feels like the string theory manifested itself
I love seeing all the work and research they do, seeing how their minds work and how a story develops, and its such an interesting detail that the souls are represented, or at least made to look like aerogel, thats awesome!
The counselors look like super paper Mario characters
I remember when my friends and I did a presentation of Pete Docter's life as a filmmaker
I like how when they revealed the teaser for this movie everyone was like mad for some reason and as soon as it came out everyone loved it. Wack.

So the Councellors are Finder windows. Got it.
this is probably my favorite non-sequel pixar movie in recent years.
my biggest pet peeve is not knowing who 22 becomes
Joe Gardner - Hector Rivera
22 - Miguel Rivera
Terry - Abuelita
Mr Mittens - Dante
Dorothea Williams - Frida Kahlo
Moonwind - Gustavo
Libba Gardner - Mama Imelda
Got the Picasso reference of the Counselors with his painting video. Soul is like a homage to modern art.
the counselors remind me of the “machine elves”... or biblically accurate angels. BE NOT AFRAID.
"BE NOT AFRAID"
*Has so many eyes, rings, wings, colors, spectrums of light, and all kinds of other fckery, that ends up overloading the person's brain, giving them a seizure and causing brain damage*
The counselors are what an 8 dimensional being might look like if it tried to fit into a 3 dimensional space
Peter Docter looks like an example of Pixar's exemplary character design. Dat noggin though; It's probably why such vivid creations are made in that studio.
I thought they took the inspiration of the Jerrys from Mac's Finder icon 😂😂😂
This didn't feel like a Pixar film not going to lie
Thank you for this useful video IGN
The councelers designs remind me of a very old cartoon named La linea, and a ps3 game called Flow.
The design reminds me of the souls’ designs in that simpsons episode where Bart sells his soul
He said buy and large and there actually is purple eyes in real life.
Same with people with silver colored eyes. I've seen it in a few people in my life. It's really fascinating! It's almost like...as one person with silver eyes I know put it, there eyes are so light blue, they appear silver.
