I’m so sorry, Adam. What a sweet lil guy. ❤️

I knowwww! I totally pegged him for midwestern.

I want a fictional Rick Steves movie where he plays himself and uses his world travel knowledge in an Indy Jones style caper.

Looked into hypothesized AGI scenarios of just the next 5 years and cannot shake the feeling that we paid creatives are all just scrambling to make the last monetized creations of human expression to ever be made. I really don’t see how things get better from here. Gimme some hope.

Check out Gerard O’Neill’s ‘High Frontier’ if you’re diggin on cylinder colonies. Read that in my research for my series pitch.

thank you!

from storyboard to roughs and background to final comp in raw hours? Definitely in the hundreds. A very dense and technical shot.

it is, indeed!

Thanks, Mike. :)

Yeah! Can’t recall exactly how but I def came across. ✌🏽

I totes saw this! Rad rad work, my dude.

Thank you! The plane maquette was modeled in Blender (badly by me, then better by @ashleylange.bsky.social) and hand keyframed within the Harmony file with the rest of the 2D animation, then rotoscoped with further detail.

watch it grow piece by piece

I might have to leave Canada in September as getting a Canadian Job in animation is really hard and my permit is running out of time. If anyone knows of anything projects starting up I’d be super grateful! I am more than happy to accommodate to budgets!

If I could, I’d always have you on crew! 😭

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

Thanks!

For years I’ve joked that we should draft qualified experts to government positions. Nobody that wants power should ever have it. Who better than the unwilling but wholly merited? If citizens are subject to the military draft in desperate times, why not?? (I know why not, don’t come at me)

Darn! Was hoping I wasn’t, for your sake. Yeah, the show burned me pretty good after a really great first season and pretty good second one.

Uh, randomly an Elliott Smith song in Mickey 17. Unexpected but very welcome!
