“We’re exploring the idea of making sure our movies look as statistically average as possible while also making the entire industry worse for everyone.”

You know what, this makes sense.

Animated stones, chalk and scrap. This is Machini -- an incredible film by two artists from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We've loved Machini for years. It's our honor to premiere it online for the next two weeks, and to tell its story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/congolese-...

Hey everyone, I'm excited to say that I finally opened a Ko-Fi shop. I'll be selling a few items I've featured at conventions like stickers, keychains, and pins, as well as custom brushes & a few digital prints. Check the link if you're interested:

I think a lot more shows should be greenlit with this mentality. Target audience? Ehhh probably that gaggle of weirdos over there? Plus myself. I’m also in the gaggle of weirdos.

I’m making a scavenger hunt for my brother and his girlfriend and I am fully channeling Sam Reich while I write the clues. I can see why he loves making Game Changer so much. This is incredible.

What makes the greatest art of literally any kind is intentionality. Every scene, every detail, every word all has to be intentionally put there by someone. Ai can’t do anything but rob you of those choices. It tosses everything together based on what the algorithm says other people are doing.

My writing course is HAPPENING! All aspiring screenwriters welcome, especially those interested in animation. If you're an aspiring writer, an animation student, an early-career creator with a great idea, or looking to brush up on your storytelling skills: sign up! 20% discount until July 1st!

Lmao, I don't forgive you, you knew full well about Gen AI and how its effecting the Animation Industry, aswell as how its destroying the enviroment and yet you still bought in. Not to mention your weird creepy misogynistic analogy about using Gen Ai in animation which you've yet to apologise for.

Good!! Doesn’t change how we’ll see him though. You can’t heel turn on every artist everywhere by celebrating the grift one second, then back out of it just as soon as you get backlash for it and pretend it’s all patched up perfectly.

I really don’t get it. Jorge spoke up for artists and specifically against ai for so long. It’s hitting harder than I think it should haha

Some heartbreaking animation news today from people who have been some of my animation heroes. It’s up to us to hold the line and build a better future for animation.

Idk guys, I think the fact that a guy synonymous with supporting creatives of all experience levels and backgrounds in the animation industry and indie who makes unapologetically personal art suddenly heel turning to become an ai sellout with a deeply concerning analogy to boot is getting to me

“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.

Hey creatives: Folks will remember. If you were aggressively against AI, like Gutierrez was as recent as last year, and then suddenly turn around and go NO I GET IT NOW IT'S AMAZING as soon as you get a project with a big payday? Your peers will not forget that. You will never be trusted again.

Only 70 hours left to back Brother Manor! It looks super fun, super campy, and it’s made by really cool people so y’know. It’s great. www.kickstarter.com/projects/kel...

good tweet

Eyo this is too cool! Big fan of when it breaks out of the aspect ratio and I need more of it. Does anything else do this?

GNOME SHOW!!

A theory I’ve had for a bit is this film will feature Godzilla more as a force of nature or neutral force than the nuclear war allegory of the first, hence the “Minus Zero.” Then in a potential 3rd film, Godzilla would be the more recent heroic or protective figure for a “Godzilla Plus One”

WE GOT EPISODE 3!!! AHHH!!!

Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.

This project is made by humans, ive seen the comment quite a bit but this is not AI at all we drew everything from scratch and i painted the Glass mosaics, I'm working on getting a composer and Sound team on board next. Thank you for supporting our Indie animation project!

It’s their day. Give them your gold on the Kickstarter for Clara and the Below!

The Ebony Witch pilot is out!! The animation style is a really high highlight, and I love the classical music choice for the soundtrack. Go watch it! youtu.be/Th_3u-4X9XY

We gotta reach $325K!! Oh goodness. This would be the greatest of all things. I need it.

It’s kind of comforting to see every kind of artist suffers from this. There’s always the slog of feeling awful about your work before it really clicks. Or even if it doesn’t click, you’ll learn from it! My worst drafts and scripts have led to my best! Making something is always always worth it.

DAY 2 and we are 49$ short of 3k on our Syrenka Campaign!!!! Can you help out and donate to get us to our next milestone??? tinyurl.com/SyrenkaFilm/ Support #2danimation! @syrenkafilm.bsky.social

This is that pineapple hat meme because reading it in high school, all my friends made jokes about turning this guy into glue. The moment this movie does it, I’m out.

I have a feeling Dreamworks has yet another top tier film on their hands

In celebration of Sora shutting down, I've been inspired to actually start my next script that I hope will someday be animated by REAL human animators!! It's a pilot script for a fantasy series inspired by Norse and Sámi myths, folklore, and history called Tusk.

🎬Dúlamán Studios is hiring Comp/Editor artists! We are working on The Wards of Oribis, a 2D anime project inspired by the 90s–2000s era, with a European flavour. 📩 Apply here forms.gle/YeDW2FCWAasGNA…#animejobsb#compositingn#editoro#animationjobsb#indieanimeme

If only anyone knew ai was a bad investment! Maybe this hilarious and embarrassing situation could have been avoided very very easily!

i did not hit her its not true its bullshit i did not HIT her i did naht oh hi moana

The Amazing Digital Circus is aaabsolutely crazy. I love it.

WHAT

My friend @angelamsanchez.bsky.social has been working hard on this awesome short! Can you share her project and back it if you’re able? www.kickstarter.com/projects/127...

No matter how many times I do it, I keep getting the rats. I have a primal need to scurry and wage war!

Over $200K!! We’re getting episode 2!!!

You heard it here first, everyone: the power of union yaoi can instill so much terror in CEOs that they resign immediately.
