Probably my all-time favorite quote about editing is, some clueless individual asked Martin Scorsese's editor Thelma Schoonmaker how such a nice lady could edit such violent movies, and she replied "Marty's movies aren't violent until I edit them."

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

please help one of my sweetest pals!!

THE OSCARS DON'T RESPECT ANIMATION?! Here's our THIRD BONUS UMBERT EP, brought to you by our EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BACKERS!!!

Thinking today about the legendary Osamu Tezuka

Do not let one or two big names in animation make you think it’s time to throw in the towel. We have to keep fighting and showing we will not fall to our knees for a system actively trying to replace us!

Hey you know what's less expensive than AI, doesn't pollute water of nearby towns, looks fucking gorgeous forever, and people will actually be excited for? Stopmotion. The kind that you make in front of a camera with human hands.

I cannot tell you how much my head is throbbing from the sheer amount of how much I hate AI. This isn't even related to recent news, I just really fucking hate it! THERE'S NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT, DAWG.

Still not feeling very well (69% maybe?) but felt compelled to draw SOMETHING. I let myself have fun and aw crap, I made this thing. WHAT A HORRIBLE LIL GUY!

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

I’ve been going through some pretty gnarly hormonal imbalance lately and let me tell you the minute your hormones start trying to take you out is when you realize just how powerful those lil fuckers are.

was possessed with the overwhelming urge to give Oryx a matching cute lil' cardigan 💕

To brainless executives, Star Wars - along with ALL IP - is just one more finite resource they treat as infinite. It's not solar energy, babes. It's a hit 1970s film whose legacy exploded BECAUSE people were starving for more. Now they just stuff our faces year after year and wonder why we're full

Hey maybe it's because I just rewatched Hedwig and the Angry Inch, but I feel like we should break this thing down with hammers

The Kuleshov effect is a film editing effect demonstrated by Russian film-maker Lev Kuleshov in the 1910s and 1920s. It is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation.

"these nine words will make your partner go wild"

It was like it honestly never occurred to him. That was the whole business plan. He said something later about how they had their own training data, so people would want that, but he couldn't list any famous IP he had that people would ask for as comps so... 🤷

I once talked to the head of a small animation studio who told me AI was the future. When I asked "Why would someone pay you to type in words and generate something when they can type it themselves into the same software and get the same result for free?" He looked baffled and said "They just will"

are other games devs aware that there are no black people in the room at industry events or is that just me

The wait is over. Myst & Riven are NOW AVAILABLE on PS5, PS VR2, and Xbox Series X|S! https://cyan.com/2026/05/19/myst-and-riven-console-launch/

💚SHOP UPDATE💚 It's been a hot minute, but we've been in the lab brewing up some bangin' new stuff to share! Starting with our new screen printed patches, available NOW: www.nngenderfluid.com/shop/buttons...

Me turning to @zoemoss.bsky.social, I can't believe we're crying during the movie adaptation of Exit 8.

"You gotta adapt or die, bro! Like me. I've handed over every aspect of my life to unreliable tech that is far more expensive than I could afford if I were charged its real cost. The mere process of generating thought has become so painful I can no longer remember what it was like to do it unaided."

Exit 8, one of the best video game movies ever! Sure, the bar is in hell but they really pulled it off. Like, damn.

#indieanimationday did you know I make a series of animated shorts with @jacobstrick.bsky.social and @jellybox.bsky.social called “Inchy and Pinchy”? And that they’re comin back!? youtu.be/PQ81LDLBaKw?...

Since I'm seeing everyone getting hyped about Star Fox again, I need to talk about how much I love these models/puppets they made to promote the original game. You can totally see the Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds influences shining through in these designs.

Typhoid Mary was a superspreader of typhoid fever because she was an asymptomatic carrier and a line cook and refused to change her lifestyle, and she was eventually imprisoned, but Republicans today would be like "let her cook"
