Hey guys, Kevin, CEO of GLITCH here. Been trying to figure out when and how to express this, but now I think is the right time:
To the fans - Thank you, deeply. You are the reason we got here. I know it can get noisy online sometimes, but the real-world reality is that you are some of the most genuine, kind people we have ever had the privilege of meeting. We saw every cosplay, every discussion circle, every sticker shared outside the theatres. That is what this is all about.
To every person at/with GLITCH - I never doubted you for a single second. You are all so incredibly talented, and I am so proud that the impact of your work is now being felt on a world stage.
To the industry - Animation and cinema is art. Art is human expression. Digital Circus was a deeply personal story created to express complex feelings. Please let that be the signal you take from all of this.
To everyone - Keep making things and keep sharing your work. We found all our creators through the internet.
Now, here’s Pomni with her signature dance move.
wishlist for what I want gooseworx to talk about after the finale drops on youtube:
- Message for Jax's character and abstraction
- Abstraction info
- What did Jax tell her mom
- Gangle and Zooble canon
idk just thought it would be fun to make
That’s the point. Suicide is sudden. It’s not when you expect it to occur and while rushed from the story perspective I felt the way they went back through his story later made up for the abrupt departure. It was abrupt to make the point about how heavy and sudden suicide is. That being said it also oddly kinda makes it seem like the right decision and that everyone’s life got better and no one really cared that much when he was gone but that’s what you’ll get writing wise if you’re writing as someone who is suicidal or has been suicidal themselves.
Next time I see a member of the 'digital circus fandom' in real life, I'm shining a blinding light into their eyes and shouting "DONT MEET YOUR HEROES DONT MEET YOU HEROES DONT MEET YOUR HEROES!"
I think it will serve as a good reminder. To never meet your heroes. In real life.
