I've all but abandoned this account and I don't know if anyone will see this, but I simply must let as many people as possible know that The Other Christmas Show, the film that I put over three years of my life into, is now available to rent or buy on Prime Video!

Watch The Other Christmas Show | Prime Video

A down-on-his-luck community theater director attempts to put on a musical Christmas spectacular in the hopes of impressing the successful Broadway producer who's mounting a production of "A Christmas Carol" in his hometown.

"Love's best habit is in seeming trust" Shakespeare's "Sonnet 138" explores love from a somewhat different angle. What are your thoughts on it? youtu.be/N00jIGXG_5A #Poetry #EnglishLanguageArts #Shakespeare #WilliamShakespeare #Animation #Narration #VoiceOver #VoiceActing

Yep. I managed to find a good artist in the end, but it felt very insulting and frustrating (both to me and the original artist) to have someone steal the original artist's work and try to pass it off as their own.

Dang this made my belly go upside down, it's frustrating. This is good to watch for anyone who makes art, as it shows the struggles from the developers view... It's hard to find artists, sure. But the real problem at the core nowadays seems to have the connections. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rttL...

I took a similar approach a while back & put a call for animators on Twitter. One prospect had a very impressive demo reel, but something about the interaction seemed off. When I dug into it, I discovered the reel was stolen from another, very accomplished, artist. I let the original artist know.

Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".
