just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.
you have until March 23rd to comment.
i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

Hello, my animated short film REMEMBER US is now online! The entire crew put a ton of effort into it - link both on bio, and in the following post. go watch it now 👇!
I don’t think a question has led to more unpredictable results than when someone asks a dev what game they work on 😭
My dentist asked me what I’m working on and he seemed genuinely excited so I said “Mortal Kombat” and his reply was “hmm, I guess I don’t know that one” 😭😭😭
Bud in the blossoms 🌱🌸
I’ll opt out of knowing in advance, thanks ✋
I worked very hard on this so I'm going to be very annoying about it for a while ;w; I don't often have personal work to show!
My (non animator) husband: this looks great! I wish it were longer though…
Me: it’s FOUR WHOLE SECONDS!!!
Calling this dance animation done! Three years of mocap rust is hard to shake off, let me tell you. vimeo.com/1147895748?f...
The Gandalf meme (a series of photos of Gandalf looking lost and confused) with the caption “Blorbo..??”
Also which one haven’t you seen because if it’s Oni, you better get on it
That’s true, I would say KPop veers into universal territory with the plot. When I use “personal” I also mean, like, I can watch it and immediately grok the storyteller’s tastes/hobbies/influences. Sometimes you watch a movie and know EXACTLY what the creator’s YouTube algorithm would be, lol
At least for me, I tend to respond less to stories that set out to be universal and more to stories that feel so achingly personal. Those are the ones that remind me of what we all have in common.

Apropos of nothing, some of my favorite animated stories (out of the US) came out of the last 5 years. The thing they have in common is that they’re so deeply personal, I can feel the storyteller in every choice. They’re stories that made me go “who is this even made for?!” but in the best way.
I’ve never had cats before so I’m getting a real crash course in what cats are like 🤣
It’s classic Momo Behavior 😩
Turns out our goblin baby was off having liquid shits in our closet
Just know that we have two cats- brother and sister that were referred to as “the twins” of their litter- and the sister is off being a goblin somewhere, as is her MO

Plz witness my cat, as he is my extremely precious prince
That’s the way to do it! I always give up because I hate being on the phone 😭😭😭
But also also, my SiL has a terrible time with delayed flights and lost bags once, and she harangued the airline into giving her a $100 voucher for a future flight. So… be the squeaky wheel if you can stomach it 😅
So all that to say fingers crossed they’ll find it! When bags get lost it’s always in the restricted parts of an airport so that helps too.
The fact that you can’t get a hold of a person (or a person who cares) is so shitty tho, wtffff
Ahh, that’s so frustrating! I’ve been in that situation, where my bag got lost in transit somewhere between Tokyo and Savannah. It always took a couple days but they did end up finding it! It happened to my international friends all the time too, we joked that they were the worst delivery service.
That’s terrible! I’ve had similar things happen when I flew back and forth from Japan to SCAD. There used to be a way to leave the airline the address you wanted them to mail your suitcase to. Was that not an option? Sorry if this is an obvious question!
Altho let’s be real this problem predates AI: companies are out there eliminating hundreds of jobs in one fell swoop for “cost reasons” meanwhile CEOs are making millions, if not billions, and the government is acting like the most vulnerable people just need to job hunt a bit harder
Pretty grotesque how lawmakers are pushing for stricter work requirements for food/medical assistance while private industries are going all in on AI to eliminate the need for human workers
Hey authors! Check to see if Anthropic stole your book to train their slop generator on. You’re entitled to $1500 per stolen Work.

yeahhhh didn't think so :/
This is wild. When I worked at Disney Interactive ages ago, we would get pushback from branding on the tiniest things because they were so protective of how Mickey & co. moves, looks, and behaves. Any animation I produced went through *several* iteration passes. Is that even possible with GenAI??
Can't wait to blow this all up by switching to spline tangents #animation #animator #3danimation
