I told him not to spend his life savings on a “flying car” but does he listen?

KURSGESAGT VOICE: Now, we’re just speculating here and there’s no real way to project this far into the future, but imagine yourself personally becoming a technological ultra super god with the power to tame every atom of the universe into a state of perpetually orgasmic hyper-abundance…

Update: it wasn't too bad! In most shots, the tiny shape change didn't make a difference and any native AE masks stretched with the footage. There was just one part where I had to rebuild a patchwork of photoshop stills over again, but it got refined a li'l in the process. Back on track.

Swapping a video (that you've been zooming into, rotoscoping and animating various pixel-peeping graphics around in hundreds of shots) for a higher quality version you just found - $0 Realizing the version you'd been working with was actually squashed vertically by 4 pixels - priceless

I was finally able to track down an actual 3-D version of “AL’S BRAIN IN 3-D”… so if you have a VR headset, 3-D TV, or even cheap 3-D glasses, you can now watch this in the way it was originally intended! youtu.be/LKgKQK7tKIU

Every sound design/music/mixing tutorial: “I’m using Pro-Q for this, but you can use the native equalizer or whatever plugin you want, it really doesn’t make a difference. But I’m using Pro-Q.”

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

I've always wanted to do a dated timelapse of the edit progress bar I keep on my Patreon Discord as a video goes through the VFX/graphics stage. Since this one's been taking so insanely long, I've tried a partial one just to see. The latter red section are the really really hard bits 🫠

People mark thread posts “1/“ like they dk what the total might be, but most of the time they do. If you’re posting the whole thread at once or are doling out paragraphs of an already published blog, go back and put the total in each post. I wanna know what I’m in for. Reader has right-of-laziness!

I support cities ripping their Flock cameras out but I lowkey think a huge part of why cops have been largely okay with cities abandoning it is that the service is effectively a honeypot to entrap domestic abuser cops into leaving a paper trail of their crimes.

OLD RULES? OUT! NEW RULES NOW. WE DIDN’T EVEN EVER EVEN WANT YOU. SO JUST… STOP.. WITH THE HOLLYWOOD
A YouTube thumbnail featuring a bearded indie filmmaker type guy in front of a wall of printed out web articles about recent web-creator-to-Hollywood success stories. With a politely confident gaze he holds up a piece of cardboard that says “NEW RULES” on it in sharpie.
Title: Dear Hollywood…We Don’t Need You
