my goal as an animator is that my shots when compiled together into a demo reel is worthy of being played with "Last Dive" by Christopher Larkin... or "Clair De Lune" by Debussy

People who tell you not to question/critique the quality of media made for kids are such dull human beings. There's just a lack of mental curiosity, a stubborn refusal to consider art outside of imaginary boundaries and general contempt for anything "immature" that points to projected insecurity.

I think I have a more complex version of the Dunning Krueger effect where I know I have surface level knowledge on subjects I have a passing interest in but I FEEL like I know MORE than the average person in those aforementioned subjects

I feel like the use of “Isn’t She Lovely?” in the Digital Circus finale is less about praising the Jax we see in the show (who I would hardly call lovely), and more a way to mourn the healthy Jax who could have been if she ended up like Lee and didn’t succumb to her worst vices.

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

Derek Drymon's unspeakably brilliant rough drawing for this classic beat. Can't be topped!

Three rough storyboard panels.

1) SpongeBob's face twisted up into a squinchy shit-eating grin.
2) SpongeBob same in a two-shot with nervous Squidward.
SQUID: No, wait-- it's not what you think- I
3) Sponge same. Squid waving his arms frantically.
SQUID: This is a big misunderstanding-- you have to believe

as an animator i can't stress enough how important it is to take breaks and do activities that DON'T involve drawing read a book, watch a movie, play a game, learn how to knitt. you'd be surprised how quickly your creative juices get replenished by just enjoying yourselves

I love animation too much to let a machine do it for me. Im too much of a jealous bitch to knowingly cede my passion for convenience. I have work to do tonight and if youre an artist, treat yourself to something nice and then pursue the gifts God gave you.

Officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.

politico.com

A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure

Residents in Fayetteville, Georgia, noticed low water pressure last year. The utility discovered two unaccounted-for water connections at one of the nation’s largest data center campuses.

Everyone who is on this project is so talented and amazing. I just backed it, and if animation fans want to really support indie animation (and not just your favs who got screwed over by the studios, which hey still valid) we need to support more projects and not just fantasy stuff.

seeing this happen in real time is a trip to a lot of people, being "good" means being as cruel and ruthlessly evil to "bad" people as you can, and the more you hurt them, the more "good" you are. If you get branded "bad", "good" people will dox you, slander you, try to get you to kermit

The most important lesson I learned in film school was that if they’re portraying something in a piece of media, that means the creator approves of it, unless the characters end the piece by turning to the camera and saying “I understand that what just happened was bad and shouldn’t be done”
