They should heed the words of the irrepressible Disney animator Ward Kimball: “Walt’s dead, and you missed it.”

I hope I’m not wrong, but I’m going to go out on a pretty stable limb and say an animator colleague of mine animated that - Bill Waldman. Good on ya, Bill! People like your stuff! Wonder if he’s still working?

I love seeing indie animation go for it. Worth a watch to see what’s possible. NIGHTS OF GUINEVERE: PILOT

Hand animating a TEENY clip for a YT video and I feel so… EMPOWERED. Creating something from scratch – FOR MYSELF, BECAUSE I WANT IT TO EXIST – feels like a giant middle finger to everything wrong in tech and entertainment right now. Trying out Clip Studio Paint for this, and I’m mostly liking it.

Does anyone know of a 2D animation app that does flipping the way it happens on paper: going from drawing 2 (the inbetween I’m drawing) to 3 (next drawing), to 2 to 1 (prev drawing), back to 2. Basically a hotkey that goes: 2-3-2-1-2 Does what I’m asking even make sense to anyone?

Doing some hand-drawn animation for myself after a LOOONG break. Rusty, but it comes back. Funny, wanted to do a slow-in, so I instinctively drew a timing chart and it worked! Lots of things are coming back & I’m done w/ a rough pass. Time to tie down. I dunno, just sorta happy and wanted to share.

Sorry for the cross-posting but I’m bad at separating my posts into the right buckets

This is my first time seeing these but I can understand the fandom

Before the Dumb & Dumber/Ace Ventura double-feature @newbeverly.bsky.social last night, they played “Of Fox and Hounds” (1940 Tex Avery) & a flood of memories came back when I heard that famous line: “Which way did he go, George?” We said that ALL THE TIME in my family. youtu.be/jOypj5XFGrU?...

I worked with Rosaemary @travale.bsky.social on the Peanuts specials. Happy to see fellow creatives creating for themselves. Give Rosaemary and Craig a follow here and on YT!

Who wore it better?

Happy 88th birthday to the greatest fictional character of all time

In 1994 I would drive around LA with John Aoshima and Sean Jimenez to go to every figure drawing class we could find to build up our portfolios. Then we all got jobs and now 30 years later I’m here still cheering on John!

I always get excited for a new Sylvain Chomet film. Such a unique filmmaker. I still have that dog from The Triplets of Belleville seared into my memory.

I think I’m gonna have to buy the EX version for a little animatioOOON.

Now that Bluesky allows 3-minute videos, it is my responsibility to post one of the greatest moments in animation c/o Blue Seed. I will be forever grateful to @rookery-ceramics.bsky.social for sharing this with me. #blueseed #animationcels

At the risk of sounding totally out of touch… isn’t an OC (original character) just a drawing of a character not based on an existing character? What criteria pushes a drawing into the OC category?

People, we have enough for a playlist! Enjoy Andreas Déja, Part 3 youtu.be/XYeL0MvKkjU

Now up for your listening pleasure: Andreas Déja, Part 2. Going to get Part 3 up tonight. It’s been fun listening to these again after all this time. I miss doing them. youtu.be/rjqOGdYnBRM

Hey-o! I created The Animation Podcast almost 20 YEARS ago. I'm going to be uploading the original shows (2005-2012) to my YouTube channel, beginning with the one that started it all: Ep. 1, Andreas Déja, Part 1 I'm planning something new, and this is just the warm up... youtu.be/vrgBA4iTfKs
