Steered clear of the leaks and finally watched Avatar Aang today. What an absolutely monumental artistic feat - the likes of which I have not seen for a VERY long time. I was moved to tears multiple times from the visuals alone. The animation, the backgrounds, the compositing - it's all 11/10. WOW!
Damn. My dad cried twice in the Odyssey. I have never seen him cry once, let alone twice before.
Reread Laura Kinney's "All New Wolverine" run not too long ago
Thank god I never saw Obsession in theaters. I would've straight up shat myself. What a brilliant and unsettling film. Holy crap
Watched Obsession the other night. Not sure I can add much that hasn't already been said, but it was fantastic. Extremely unsettling subversion of the nice guy trope, packed full of interesting commentary on codependency, coercion, and manipulative relationship dynamics. Really got under my skin.
I *really* wanted to like this as both a huge fan of Milly Alcock and the original comic, but it's just not very good. Yeah, it's a bad adaptation, but that's not why it's bad - it's just a very dull movie with plodding pacing and poor direction. Its admittedly solid emotional highs can't save it!
Starts working on big project -- immediately catch a cold. Yup.
I know I’ve gotten back into animating when the project I set for myself is way too big for myself But I’m gonna do it anyway!
I sometimes catch myself rewatching wips for personal projects, but not because I'm looking for mistakes but because I actually want to see what happens next as a viewer (even though I haven't made it yet😅). I always take that as a good sign
The pros of storyboarding the same thing multiple times - you can pick the best of each board The cons - you have to pick between two great choices for the same thing, and continuity can be annoying

Sometimes you wonder why a notoriously nice veteran animator has been so vocal in criticizing his latest production, then he reveals he left the studio on bad terms. Made to endure a tough situation, no reaction after saying he'll resign, no severance package after many decades. I'd be pissed too
It’s crazy how this year’s Roland Garros went from the most predictable in history to the most open in the span of 24 hours Lmao I love the first week of majors
“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.
Animation Magazine@animag.bsky.social · 2mo agoThree AI animated series are heading to Prime Video streaming via Amazon MGM/AWS-backed GenAI Creators' Fund: 'Cupcake & Friends;' 'Love, Diana Music Hunters;' and 'Punky Duck' from Jorge Gutierrez.
Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:
Andrew Hinton 😷🧡@andrewhinton.bsky.social · 2mo ago“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”
One Piece casually dropping one of the episodes of the year with 1163 🥲
