As a revisionist, I don't have a lot of wisdom to impart about storyboarding, BUT recently our studio finally made the switch to SBP20 and I made some short videos about *some* of the new features. This board was drawn by @unbadger . The first feature is Autofill

Is anyone more demoralized than an art director when a production person says, "Hey, where's..." halfway through a ship day?

The reason del Toro didn't direct Pacific Rim 2 is...insane.

You'd probably think this was made up if you couldn't then actually watch video of him saying it.

I had the privilege of doing a bit of work on #Invincible recently, if you’ve been sleeping on the show - give it a watch on Amazon Prime - these storyboards are just an inkling of the awesomeness the team has cooked up!

I mean, I can try Oppenheimer but I honestly don’t see how it can have more of an emotional toll than Barbie.

They Making of Frozen 2 documentary is honestly better than Frozen 2 as a film and not in a way Disney intended. They treat it as a triumph that the movie turned out as well as it did. But the documentary just shows how haphazardly and irresponsibly the film was put together.

Me: Cooking healthy lunches because I have access to a full kitchen, folding laundry during mass meetings, quickly stepping outside for fresh air when I’m stressed, getting a work out here and there with all the time I saved not commuting.

@belivetsgloves A short story published in The New Yorker in 1946:

[Canadian Animation Guild, IATSE Local 938 @CAG938]

The Canadian Animation Guild is thrilled to announce that it has entered into a voluntary recognition agreement with the Union Cooperative Initiative!

The UCI is a new non-profit Co-op (an enterprise run directly by workers) focused on uniting the union and coop movements!

After working on Spiderverse. I felt I have learned a lot. So I tried to work on a 30s animation practice. Not finished yet but here is the first 5s.

Motion test for Gwen, later animated and improved upon in 3D by @siggiorri

They wanted to make Gwen's motion a little more like a gymnast in this film. My pitch was that Gwen might use banned gymnastics moves.

Cartoon Saloon has mastered rich, mesmerizing detail. The studio proved it with a four-minute creation called "On Love."

In today's issue, we discover how the team behind The Secret of Kells and Wolfwalkers made this tiny wonder:

I just came out of #AcrossTheSpiderverse and every frame of it is an individual work of art

I want AI to anticipate what groceries I'm running low on, search every flier and website in my city to find the best price, and compile me a weekly list based on best deals per fewest stops. I do not want AI to make a picture of me if I were an astronaut.
