I Am Frankelda is a boldly handmade film. It's all texture and jitter -- even the camera gets jostled. The film celebrates the natural flaws of stop motion. They aren't simply problems that need to be fixed, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-perfec...

🏳️‍🌈HAPPY PRIDE MOTH!!! 🏳️‍🌈

PRIDE MONTH in white text, repeated and gradually fading away - except for the letters MOTH, which stay clear and become rainbow. At the bottom there is a moth girl peeking up.

if i've said it to one student, i've said it to a thousand: studios won't love you back and neither will an audience. yes, you should work to achieve a high skill level to work and appear professional, but if you haven't found your list of things that quicken your heart, it's gonna be all drudgery

Only semi-related, but this has me convinced that a Broadway adaptation of Sinners would be absolutely SICK

This could be the love in my heart talking but…I think I might be enamored with my present, okay with my past, and blinded by the joy of generating hope in my future.

So far doing pretty good with these hopes-o-mine

In light of this, there's a really great animation about a gay man reuniting his estranged family. And, better yet, it's a true story. I hope you check it out. :D youtu.be/SpD4zeg2o90?...

call me a bleeding heart but i do not think the state should have the power to invalidate trans people’s identities and effectively imprison them. if you can’t legally drive in KANSAS how the hell are you meant to get anywhere

My tripod broke in the first 45 seconds of trying to record at an event I was paid to film for and I could hear the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme emanating from my bones almost immediately.

The inconsistency of the energy that I have to do work will never not drive me crazy. Like what do you mean I needed to do nothing but lay down essentially for a week and then today I’ve managed to do like 70% of what I’ve been meaning to do.

Trailer for my film NO MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE that I’m finally getting to screen next month! Got my fingers crossed that it does get to show in BRIDGE Video after whatever brief run it has with fests.

There are DEFINITELY enough artists and animators out there to sustain a happy and healthy business providing specialty products and software to people within that community. What there isn’t, is a large enough consumer base to make the line go up forever for shareholders

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Society needs to bring back that Pee-wee's Playhouse aesthetic. People don't go out anymore? Give them a reason to visit places. Make them look cool.
