The Pixar clothing ad Pinheads (1995), dir. Jan Pinkava An early Pixar experiment in dropping photorealism and using "the medium of computer graphics much more creatively, not just to reproduce reality" (according to Pinkava)

If you are looking to give flowers to the artistry behind Gollum that isn’t this guy, you are looking for folks like Jason Schleifer and Bay Raitt from the animation team. Celebrate their names and achievements just as much or more.

Feels bad that a director of a major studio film is perfectly comfortable saying that casting non-white actors is just something you do to look woke and otherwise isn't remotely necessary

If any of you happen to know someone who was either an Animator or a Programmer who implemented animation in an old-school MMORPG (Everquest, OG World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 1, etc), I'd love to talk with them!

The cartoon logic of the physical being is that the body regenerates no matter what. However Coyote catches the Road Runner, once captured and contained, there would an endless source of food. Which would be a cruel torture to inflict, thus making Coyote’s torture loop all the more poetic.

[sitting bolt upright in bed at 1am] most of the ways the coyote tries to kill the roadrunner would, if successful, render it totally inedible

Compulsion and South of Midnight were honored at the Canadian Game Awards with 7 awards, including Game of the Year. Canada is home to some of the most talented game developers! Inspiring to see local studios continuing to take creative risks. Congrats to all NOMINEES! TY @xbox.com for the support!

I was chatting with some students at SCAD the other day and they asked if I found mocap as creatively fulfilling as keyframe. And my answer was essentially this thread.

I started playing Veilguard so I want to talk about one my favorite parts from my time working on it & something I regret not getting to see through to the end. 💃✨DANCE MAGIC✨🕺 🧵 About why it fits the fantasy genre, the franchise and specifically how it applied to the Shadow Dragons faction. 1/8

Tonight, South of Midnight was recognized with a BAFTA for New Intellectual Property. ✨🏆 Rooted in the stories, the sounds, and the beauty of the Deep South, this is a game built with compassion and wonder. What a moment. What a team. What a journey. Thank you to all our players.

Nate was also core to the creation of the GDC Animation Summit, which helped to establish a level of knowledge sharing about interactive animation that did not previously exist. His tireless quest to share his learnings was admirable and inspiring.

I found out Nathan "Bentllama" Walpole passed suddenly. He was an animator on Halo 2 & 3, always kind, sharing animation advice & critiques. He was a big part of our WoW guild. One of the characters that helped shape what I felt Bungie was as a company. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Sam Kieth did not bend for comics. Comics bent to him. I won't call his manner of drawing merely a style because that implies some level of artifice. Maybe not since Kirby had mainstream comics seen an artist with less filter between his imagination and the printed page.
