oh hello #PortfolioDay, I’m Eliot Lockwood — director, animator, parkour world champion and liar. I’ve recently returned to the world of freelance animation after two years as an in-house Art Director. anyway here’s a reel for funsies! 👀

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience www.sonnyross.com/shop/aisucks

Amazon Fires Employee Who Tested Positive For Having Food In Their System

lol what? they already rebooted this thing in ‘05! the continuity was completely vague, and then Daniel Craig was his own thing anyway. has Hollywood forgotten what a reboot is? or are these articles just made-up garbage manifacturing behind-the-scenes drama for clicks? both, probably! #jamesbond

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Happy birthday, Emma Stone!

spooky spookoweeeen everybody 🎃 I recently wrote, directed and did a bunch voices for this little Universal Monsters x Doodles skit, alongside the most incredible animation team! also on YouTube: www.youtube.com/shorts/qE99s...

Another season from #DoctorWho’s 70s heyday, another very respectible average score of 3/5. I rarely have a bad time with the Doctor and Jo, and it’s lovely to give them more TARDIS trips, even though a few of these don’t quite hit the mark. Onward at last then, to Season 20...

THE TIME MONSTER I love a time-based story, and this brings back the Master for more manical fun, but it really creaks when we get to Atlantis. It ain’t no Dæmons! Instead there are people faking slow-mo, Sgt Benton as a big baby, and the infamous giant glowing budgerigar. ★★

THE MUTANTS Delves into the dying days of colonialism with aplomb for #DoctorWho, but as with most six-parters, it frequently tests your patience too. Also of note: Rick James bafflingly being dealt ‘cockney geezer’, and the acid trip lunacy of the Solonians’ final form. ★★★

Couldn't get to sleep last night because my brain decided it was of huge importance to write lyrics to the theme tune from Fawlty Towers so here it is… (thanks brain)

bloody brilliant series of articles on the messy business of AI in the creative industries from @its-nice-that.bsky.social www.itsnicethat.com/features/edi...

Check out this new music video I made for Adam Buxton. Its got robots and everything www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7iV...

THE SEA DEVILS The Master returns! And after becoming far too ubiquitous in Season 8, he now feels much better utilised. While the Sea Devils may look shonky, there’s an atmosphere and intrigue that propels this story, even as it inevitably lags a little in the middle. ★★★★

THE CURSE OF PELADON A delightful sort of Agatha Christie in space, as intergalactic delegates are being targeted one-by-one by a phantom menace. It’s all wobbly sets but the mystery is fun, and subverting the Doctor’s expectations of the Ice Warriors is a clever wrinkle. ★★★

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

hmmmmm. as someone who recently introduced his 2-year-old to TV exclusively via Bagpuss, Clangers and Ivor the Engine, this sounds like a truly terrible idea on paper. but please let me be wrong 🤞 www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crrjwlvxknko

Any industry eliminating entry level roles where new, younger employees learn on the job before promotion to more advanced, decision-making roles is sawing through the branch it's sitting on.

god I just remembered when we thought getting David Tennant and Catherine Tate back at the start of this era might be for some sort of meta-commentary on the diminishing returns of nostalgia. HAHAHAHAHA well I feel silly. #DoctorWho

well you’ve got to hand it to RTD, he wanted #DoctorWho to play in the same space as Marvel and Star Wars, and he’s done that! …by turning it into a continuity ouroboros, obsessed with alienating callbacks and stunt castings to no real end, making me feel tired and jaded with the whole franchise :)

“WITHOUT THEFT, MY BUSINESS MODEL IS INOPERABLE!” Fuck these grifting shower of cunts.

omg did you see the #DoctorWho finale where a Time Lord foe survives Gallifrey’s destruction and before the Doc can make it back has created an alternate Earth under their fascist rule, broadcasting to the helpless population while they bend reality to create a new Time Lord empire?? yeah from 2007

after 20 years of the revival, I’m starting to wonder if my childish glee for new #DoctorWho might finally be waning? tbf I did enjoy most of last season’s stories (until its long-form mystery fell apart), but this one has felt increasingly like a Xerox of a Xerox of Russell’s old 2005 format

A David Lynch quote for every creative person who may need it today. It resonated with me when I came across it reading it in Lynch on Lynch.

cheers to the official #DoctorWho Insta and YouTube accounts for spoiling massive stuff from last night’s ep within 24 hours 🥴👍 I’m pretty careful but if that’s the statute of limitations on official spoilers now then I’m afraid I gotta unfollow all round soz

An explorer documenting his journey. PLEASE HELP ME BUILD UP MY BLUESKY FOLLOWERS BY LIKING AND SHARING THIS!! (This was heavily inspired by a film called Godland, which follows a Danish priest in the 19th century, who documents his attempt at spreading the word of God to Iceland.)
