NYCC was pretty fun, now to drown getting back home

Geoff Class ➡️ NYCC @gfclass.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Sharing the project I’ve been working on— a new animated short about wild hamsters in a cemetery! (No sound as the original file has temp music in it.) WIP with many more steps to go. Excited to finish it out before the end of the year! #indieanimation

Got to go upstate this past weekend! A selection of gouache paintings that came out of the experience

True across the Atlantic, too! I just left a beach town in New Jersey, and this shop is right in the middle of the main shopping center. They advertise like crazy including a TV in the window with constant audio about the shop

Man I feel it, this is me whenever I think too long about what it was like to have a gig

Finally beat Ascension 10 thanks to a completely bonkers splash of Crash Landing into a status-focused Defect run #SlayTheSpire2

Small #Blender victories-- learning how to tie depth of field to a character in a 3D scene so that the camera "racks" as they move towards it

I'm going to be thinking about this shot composition for a long long time

A screencap from Season 1 Episode 4 of "Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk". In the shot, we are viewing a dorm room from the point-of-view of a bookcase. A shelf of books takes up the bottom 70% of the screen. The composition naturally draws the eye to the characters, who are tiny on the screen compared to the books.

Oh man, I've been working on a super similar pipeline for a Ghibli-style test animation! My digital painting skills are... less than ideal. Curious what tool you were using at 0:12 for modeling the arches! Planning to check out the Patreon for more info.

Pretty happy with this lineup of characters to fill out a bicycle race. Nothing like good reference to inspire some design variety!

A lineup of nine men wearing 1930s-era bicycle sporting outfits. The drawing is sketchy, with a cartoony design sense.

Using Blender to #storyboard has its challenges, but I love the raw control I have to set up and animate complex shots at the boarding stage. I feel like I can tinker with each shot until the timing is exactly what I had in my head-- building the final animatic as I draw.

Went out in the cold to see if we could catch some aurora (no luck) but the view under the Hell Gate Bridge still rocks

Been thinking about a project that involves a lot of cars. Figure maybe I could save work modeling and animating the cars in Blender and then animate the character in 2D (which is… also Blender). Here’s a WIP of my test shot!

Scrolled through this thread and felt proud of myself for knowing almost everything, then realized I haven’t opened Storyboard Pro in almost a year because I haven’t had work

The difference between me (generally curious eater) and my wife (doesn’t like most seafood or steak) is so stark in this. Which is hilarious because we’re both definitely from upper middle class backgrounds.

Hi Alex, I’ve been looking to step into freelancing and would be willing to give a discount to get some sample gigs under my belt. Here’s a link to my reel: geoffreyclass.com/animations/

Revision of an earlier corgi #animation. As always, the longest part of the process is the color!

Also if you scroll down there are other bars in the NY area featuring the same shtick.

More Christmas bars with unlicensed Grinch performances. One is listed as ADULTS ONLY

So perplexed by this clearly unlicensed Grinch-themed pop up bar in my neighborhood. $20 per person, drinks and food not included… but you do get accosted by a performer in-character as The Grinch.

I had a great time seeing people at the #NYCC Animation Guild booth. Stop by if you can— booth 1674! #StandWithAnimation #UnionStrong #Solidarity

Fun show! Not groundbreaking, but also not wincingly parochial. Love to see Sutton Foster do some straight up clowning… nothing beats hearing all the kids in the theater giggle at a silent physical comedy gag!

Dogs with human hairstyles are amazing, my wife and I recently met a dog at a mechanic’s office in Scotland who legitimately looked like he had highlights
