Halo has me thinking a lot about how to bring legacy IP forward. I think in order to be successful, a studio needs to be confident and brave, but many of these IP holders operate out of a place of fear. (THREAD🧵)

Welcome to the official Bluesky account of Wondermation Productions! An all-new, remote-based independent animation studio. You dream it, we do it! Official website: https://www.wondermationproductions.com/
The best story worlds, esp. in interactive media, are those that construct those worlds as containers of stories rather than looking at them as traditional one-way media. An inordinate amount of detail for many IPs exists solely to "add lore" of no particular value other than populating a wiki.

Indie animation has already changed the animation scene before, with Hannah-Barbera and UPA We're already seeing indie animation changing the scene once again in front of our eyes
New scene animated by @petie.doon (on Instagram), with cleanup by @xartistunknown (on Twitter) Special thanks to @wondermation.bsky.social for providing additional help on this project. #celineandcheswick Voices by @jordanscarzfava.bsky.social and @hypervoiceacting.bsky.social
Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.
On behalf of everyone at Fantasy Funwheel and Wondermation Productions, we’d like to wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July! And we’d also like to wish our favorite firework loving pup, Alan, a very happy birthday! #4thofjuly #fireworks #KookyTrails #indieanimation #HappyBirthday
Meet Lewis J. Leone, Andromeda's father. Aside from caring about his family, he is the complete opposite of Selene. He's lazy, dorky, happy-go-lucky, pretty much every sitcom dad rolled into one. Happy Father's Day from all of us in the Wondermation family! #FathersDay #Andromeda
call me an extremist I guess but if I know you've used the "make everyone's life worse" machine at any point during your creative process, I'm not engaging with your fucking product the impotent "I'll be honest I'm still gonna play it" is so fucking pathetic

The Queen Cryptid@thequeencryptid.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhile I'm fighting cancer, bracing for medical bills, and trying to find a new home, any help anyone can afford to give - even just sharing this post - would mean so much. 💜 gofund.me/0712e4b87
To new voice actors or those who are curious about trying it, what are your biggest questions or concerns? I’m putting together a talk, but will also try to directly respond to as many questions as I can! Thanks for your input~
Please keep creating, even if you think you suck at it, please keep going. What you're doing matters so much more than you realize in a world that is actively trying to suck out creativity and heart from the world for the sake profit and greed Be the heart the world needs
A friendly reminder that Wondermation DOES NOT CANNOT AND WILL NOT employ nor advocate the use of generative AI. Animation and art have a soul just like you and me. Remember that you are not alone and that we're all in this together. Keep creating with your own natural talents. And #SayNoToAI!
