Bernd is awesome as always, of course, but Void is so well animated in this! I wonder who did it? I love the timing and attitude!

Just a lay in, mainly to impress on my #animdiversity mentee the importance of using reference as a spring board rather than a close guide.

Reference is collected, edited and reedited, timed and retimed, long before jumping in to Maya.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

As a long time fan of the "Can you pet the ___" account, I consider it a personal honor to have an animation I created be featured on it. 🥰

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Hollow Knight: Silksong sprite sheet - via the Australian Centre for the Moving Image's "Game Worlds" exhibition, running between September 18th and February 8th. www.acmi.net.au/whats-on/gam...

Around 400 individual sprites of player character Hornet, likely laid out via a sprite packager like Unity's Sprite Packer utility.

meme of two guys looking out a bus. guy on the left is depressed and looking to the left, because "they're having a meeting without me". he is labeled "associate". guy on the right is smiling and looking at a bright horizon because "they're having a meeting without me". he is labeled senior.

director would wrap back around to the left probably
