In the midst of an insane week, my feature script for Lake Erie got into the Second Round in the @austinfilmfest. I'm going to the conference for the first time! Looking forward to making some new friends and connections. #writerscommunity #Austin

[John Vassallo @JpVassallo]

Figured it's worth celebrating the small milestones - My script Lake Erie got through the first round of the Big Break Contest. First time for me! It's a creepy Amblin style horror, and you can read it here: https://t.co/ryZXXU2aRG

@ToonHive The fact that he calls it ‘content’ says a lot.

[John Vassallo @JpVassallo]

What I don’t get about this whole “No VFX” marketing is why make CG the villain? Also if people are saying “CGI” you know they really have no clue what they are talking about.. IYKYK

[Hugo Guerra @HugoCGuerra]

Regarding the conversation surrounding ‘@NapoleonMovie having no CGI’. Below are the VFX credits. The film has some amazing VFX, stunt and practical FXs, including exploding body parts, exploding horses, exploding boats, crowd duplication, full CG boats, full CG environments all burning, water simulations, ice simulations, matte paintings, bullet hits, and much more.

There are 15 VFX companies and 369 artists involved, but since some companies are only referenced by name, I suspect this number is much higher.

Anyway, congratulations to:

@MPCVFX (153 artists)
@ILMVFX (80 artists)
@BlueBoltVFX (50 artists)
@outpostvfx (20 artists)
Light VFX (12 artists)
@oneofusvfx (8 artists)
FPX (4 artists)
@freefolkstudios (4 artists)
Ghost VFX (no artists credited)
Cheap Shot (no artists credited)
Argon (4 artists)
@TheThirdFloor (no artists credited)
@Imaginarium_UK (4 artists)
@visualskies (4 artists)
The Magic Camera Company (26 artists)

I hope everyone on Twitter understands that if you don't see the CGI, it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Also, never believe a marketing piece about a movie; they are filled with out-of-context statements and misunderstandings.

We all need to be better a policing this nonsense, so join me in spreading the word that Napoleon has a shit tonne of CGI and VFX.

After years on the festival circuit it looks like the cypher has finally been found. 😳

[G C @GHC1313]

@JpVassallo @WildBrainHQ It took a few tries but translating the code in the end credits made it even better. 🐶

[John Vassallo @JpVassallo]

@GHC1313 @WildBrainHQ Wow, you are the first person to notice it.

🌟Attention 2D animators! 🌟
I might need some proof-of-concept rough character animation! On a short turnaround, 1 month deadline. Rates are $45/second (on a budget, BUT negotiable!)
Please share your demo reels below and feel free to tag your buddies who might be interested!

[Patrick Osborne @PatrickTOsborne]

Dga has a deal. WGA on strike. Animation is ignored by both guilds - the best opening of the year an ANIMATED masterpiece represented by neither. Come on @WGAWest @directorsguild - animation is filmmaking frame by frame.

[John Vassallo @JpVassallo]

Tonight! Come see Lake Erie on the big screen at the Rio theater in Vancouver. @vanimationfilm #animation #filmfestival
