“There are two #tragedies when games go dark. First off, the work of all those #programmers, #artists, #writers, #animators, #modelers, and everyone else who labored on a game, maybe for years, is gone forever. Killing a #game is also anti-consumer because, y'know… people bought that game.”

This video is so informative!
I didn't know most #animators were freelancers in Japan.

It talks about the value of a good business model when embarking on projects.

Recruiter contacted me and set up an interview time. Ten minutes without showing she reschedules via email. Second time she totally ghosts me. Not gonna lie it ruined my day. #animators #gamedev

120 visitors is a lot for an afternoon in a small museum. My ears are ringing and I'm really tired from doing animation. Today with the noise, we all made mistakes when embroidering/sewing and had to unravel. People: What are you doing? We: #Mistakes. And correcting.
Yes, you can! There are mistakes behind every perfect piece of work. Have the courage! You can learn from every #mistake.

#Actors and #Animators should go on #strike next tbh. Especially #cgi animators. Put the #fear back into #Hollywood

Been thinking about getting a dedicated graphics tablet for my Windows system. I love #Astropad but I'm having a hard time justifying $130+ CAD a year when I can pick up a similar dedicated one for not much more.

So #animators #DigitalArt folx

#OTD Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿) was born in 1941. His wildly popular animated films beautifully bring themes like environmentalism, feminism, communism, and pacifism to life. He refused to attend the Oscars due to the US’s involvement in Iraq, and he has openly critiqued Shinzo Abe and his militarism, Western leaders, and industrial civilization in general.
