![]() ![]() "We won't be getting much sleep," Shrek the Third's director Chris Miller, looking weary and scratching his head, says as he greets the international media contingent touring the studio. ![]() In the three floors above the foyer several hundred animators, special effects wizards and artists are rushing to meet the fast-approaching deadline for the latest instalment of the ogre franchise, Shrek the Third. The building is the headquarters for PDI/DreamWorks, the animation studio behind some of Hollywood's most successful animated films, including Antz and the Shrek films. It is the 2001 best animated film Oscar awarded to Shrek, the record-breaking movie about a large green ogre. The first sign the building is exceptional and linked to Hollywood is a glass box proudly sitting in the foyer containing a shiny gold Academy Award statuette. The building sits in an industrial park filled with other white, equally unexceptional office buildings.Ī few kilometres away are the global headquarters of Google, Yahoo! and Apple. An hour's drive south of San Francisco in California's Silicon Valley, an ordinary white building houses the secrets to one of Hollywood's most valuable franchises.
