No Man's journey isn't over yet.

@Oddernod I lurked https://t.co/SbEhnesoN3 before I joined the industry. Then went to Vimeo when it was teeming with the goods. https://t.co/e5pM7MQN7x was a great haven while it was up. But like you my buds and I aren't really sure where to find the wacky & wild stuff these days.

{ motion design } Big question that's been on my mind for awhile.

Is there any audience for actual creative discussions within Motion Design?

Not hustle culture.
Not Render Wars arguments.
Not "is the sky falling will AI doom us all."

Just talking about work we love and why?

[Eddie Song @eddesong]

@Oddernod So down for this. For me, (mostly) shorts from the early-mid 2010's got me fired up & still come to mind: Nelson Boles, LNWC, David OReilly, Paul Robertson, Rebecca Sugar, Jenn Strickland, Eva Figueroa Lopez, Nic Girard's FITC titles, DRAWING AND MANUAL #1, Ronda, 2veinte.

[Ryan Summers @Oddernod]

{ motion design } A really common thing in animation circles is to do "master studies" of artists you dig to build up muscle memory on your favorite shows shape design, layout and composition choices, and color palettes.

Like literally recreating what you love to discover more about why you love it, and to figure out how you can integrate it into your stylistic flourishes as well.

Is our equivalent in motion design just what we have on our Pinterest boards and hard drives to throw into pitch decks – or would there be a benefit in going back to earlier work and really studying it?

What work would you go back and do a study of if you had the time?

[Eddie Song @eddesong]

@SloppyJ44 I've embraced being irrelevant. Bad part is, the drive to follow-through is less pressing so I take longer. Good part is, I explore on my own terms.

But I still respect those who create & post regularly. Whatever the motivations, it requires serious discipline & commitment.

[Eddie Song @eddesong]

@justincone also, i def appreciate you asking the real Q's, and willing to field whatever responses come your way. that's not often seen in many arenas in this day & age.

[Eddie Song @eddesong]

@justincone my take is, this space is comprised of actual scams, veblen goods, wannabes, hypebeasts, genuine artists & creators/ innovators, and greedy folks. i can't deny, though, that there's a disproportionate populace of the shady & greedy in this space, way more so than other venues.

@shapiro500 thank you Gav!!

[Eddie Song @eddesong]

@THEK0UNT @contralogic dude that means a lot coming from you!

[Eddie Song @eddesong]

Felt the deep-seated need to make this hip hop party beat w/ cartoon triggers. Shout out to @THEK0UNT for his sample packs (even his free ones are most choice, but the time has come to buy the full packs), & to @contralogic for his 256 NES samples (them pure-grade chiptune sfx).

[Eddie Song @eddesong]

@justincone I'm on the fence. Might join if/when it's safe + secure, super cheap, energy efficient, relevant to the audience I'm trying to reach, & easy peasy to use. Rn even handling the money aspect seems like a massive PITA for me. Some buddies are making dope art, amidst the sea of turd.
