Satoshi Kon's unfinished last movie is very interesting. It's like Astro Boy gone wrong — the future promised in the '60s is now a post-apocalyptic ruin. Enough material is public (including a storyboard page) to get an idea of Kon's plan. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/inside-sat...
Parasociality isn't just being a huge fangirl, it's also feeling like you personally need to punish someone who is not your responsibility. This has turned into a completely out of control cudgel using progressive language They already were attacked at a con booth this weekend. Wtf is going on here
Official poster for "Jim Queen", the first feature film by Bobbypills. You've probably heard of this French animation studio: Peepoodo, Les Kassos, Vermin, Mr Flap, Crisis Jung, Captain Laserhawk, Dead Cells Immortalis, Creature Commandos, Invincible (Burger Mart trailers)...
frankly in a world filled with as much misinformation + lies as ours is rn I can't find it in me to get mad at researchers for (re)confirming the truth until it sinks in. plus (not in this case, obviously, but) a lot of times what humanity has agreed on is obvious actually isn't the case haha
Honing your observation skills is literally one of the best things you can do as an artist. Don't just see a tree, observe what it really looks like: what color is the bark, the texture? Where do the limbs begin, high or low, are they all alive, or are some limbs dead? Do they curl up or down, etc
So we're looking at how we can tag and add alt text to all 30k of our references (no LLM style). One idea: a simple tool where YOU click through images, add tags, and optionally write alt text. We can then take that data, verify it, and use it. We'd also be able to offer some perks as a thank you!
I have more to say!! (sorry lmao) I also feel compelled to say that for teenage boys, especially, emphasizing that their actions have impacts on other people *who are people* is really important. that they can be loved and cared for and appreciated; but they do have to also do that for others
another, more recent example: a study found that while urban kids tend to have more behavioral problems, rural kids have WAY more of every other kind of mental health problem. this goes in the face of "common knowledge" that growing up in the city is bad and the country is good for your wellbeing!
