Over the past few weeks I've been working on improving my Maya Python skills, which has been a long time coming - To practice I've been working on a very simple 'Select All' script which has steadily grown to add some fun features, with plenty more ideas to come!

‘COYOTE VS ACME’ has been officially saved by Ketchup Entertainment, who bought the film for $50M

They plan to give the film a worldwide theatrical release in 2026.

I really hope this show gets the fanfare it deserves, because I don't think there's anything else on this level. Endless jaw-dropping visuals and a story that doesn't pull punches, this may very well be the CG show of all time.

A spoiler-free thread of my #Arcane + #ArcaneSeason2 thoughts:
After rewatching Arcane season 1 and now season 2, I can safely say I've never seen such incredible artistry on my TV before. Truly insane work from Fortiche and everyone involved that's an all round masterclass.

[Marcus Taylor @_marcustaylor_]

Even with the increased scope, Arcane S2 barrels through an emotionally charged story with such tenacity it's inspiring. It's going for a lot, but I was finding nearly all the emotional beats landing, and thanks to the length felt it rarely lost its focus.

With #LFF over I'm definitely going to miss films starting at their advertised time. No adverts, no fuss, no guesswork. What I won't miss is people turning up late and the whole row standing up in front of the screen. Swings and roundabouts really, both systems have their place!

Adam Elliot’s Memoir of a Snail has won the Best Film Award at the 2024 BFI London Film Festival.

The Official Competition jury called it 'a singular achievement in filmmaking ... emotionally resonant and constantly surprising.'

It might be October and a liiittle bit early to even mention Christmas, but saw That Christmas as part of its premiere at #LFF. Made at the same time as Garfield by many of my friends @DNEG I'd only seen glimpses, but can now say I loved the film and animation, congrats everyone!

As we pass the halfway mark of #LFF2024, a real highlight so far was finally getting to see the talk of Annecy this year: Memoir of a Snail.
An incredible piece of storytelling that manages to tell a tragically compelling story filled to the brim with brillant humour.

It's finally time for the Bfi London Film Festival, and I have a rather ambitious schedule of films ahead! First up though? A screen talk with none other than Daniel Kaluuya 🙌 #lff #lff24

[Marcus Taylor @_marcustaylor_]

The way this film is shot really could have set it up for a slam dunk Joker + La La Land concept, but I fear that even though it just kinda fumbles the bag story and character-wise, the takeaway for the studios will just be risks = bad.

@lulualciis Haha, ta-da! Looks like you're the new No. 1 #DogManMovie fan then? 😂

[Marcus Taylor @_marcustaylor_]

The Dog Man trailer is here, and he's the most cutest, smartest, best at kung-fu-est dog+human you've ever seen!! Really excited to share I worked on this with the cool team at Jellyfish after reading endless Captain Underpants as a kid! #DogManMovie https://t.co/sDUyE57e0M
