John Lasseter director of Toy Story 1 and 2 also directed Cars 2. But he directed it on an iPad. I understand why he did that. He's Chief Creative Officer for all of Disney, and deciding which Hawaiian shirt to wear each morning. I can see why he had to direct on the go.
In a Los Angeles Times profile, they talk about one way in particular:
He is based at Pixar but flies to Disney’s Burbank lot several times a month. Thanks to an iPad app designed by a Pixar staffer, he does much of his work while in transit, on one of a half-dozen iPads he totes along in his bag, one each for various departments at the two companies. “Cars 2″ producer Denise Ream has saved all of Lasseter’s messages from the production and played some of them to illustrate the director’s communication style.
I want that app.
