Fran Kalal is a cloth and simulation technical director at Pixar Animation Studios. Kalal first joined Pixar in July 2007, where she began working as a prop and sets shading artist for the short film, “Presto” and then moved on to work as a character shading artist for some of the background robots in the Academy Award®-winning feature “WALL•E.”
As a cloth and simulation technical artist, Kalal digitally tailors outfits for the film’s characters. She also works closely with the simulation supervisor to simulate a character’s clothing and hair in various shots throughout the film.
