Near the end of development on The Last Of Us, a Sony exec took a look at the game and didn't think the game was going to do well and gave the game a small marketing budget as a result.

A number of people at Naughty Dog also thought the game would flop as well.

@gnarvilledotxm The original will remain available 🖤

Conrad Hall's system was to first light for black and white, and then light for color. The single clearest approach for making images that resolve. Study everything he did.

Hard truth…

I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted.

Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely.

They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil.

I assure you.

These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism.

ATLA is a mystery to them.

They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise.

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

Announcing a piece of European animation next week that is absolutely jaw dropping. I can't believe it never got released here before (it's from 2022) but we're gonna do something about that

当時の労働環境でも人が働いたのは、単純な労働を超えた「職人としての誇り」と「熱狂」があったからです。

アナログ表現の頂点を目指す自己実現欲求や、師匠文化で技術を磨く修行の場という認識、そして完成させた瞬間の強烈な達成感が、低賃金や徹夜の日々を耐えうる報酬に変わっていたのです。まさに表現への執念の時代と言われています。

1998年、大友克洋氏の監修『スプリガン』のクオリティは当時アニメーターの自己犠牲の賜物として海外で話題

この時代手描きとアニメーションで制作しており、現場ではオフィスに寝袋徹夜、報酬は出来高制、社会保険なし、契約書は口約束が当たりまえのクリエイター黄金期です

Sucker Punch was insane for this man 😂

The Keepers call to you now… will you answer them?

No longer a secret, Thief: The Dark Project Remastered returns!

[Wolf of X @WolfofX]

Don Rickles, the voice of Mr. Potato Head, passed away before he was able to record any dialogue for Toy Story 4. Rather than replace him, Disney reviewed 25 years of material from the first three films, video games, and other media and were able to assemble enough dialogue to cover the entire film.

the ps3 was such a bitch to develop for they had to call in sony themselves

[ALATURKA | Wishlist on Steam! @bufuakgames]

testing if this platform completely buries indie devs without a blue checkmark.

here is 153 seconds of unedited, raw gameplay from my solo project ALATURKA. heavy driving physics, maximum jank, trying to survive 70s Bosforus.

if you see this, the test worked.

@xj0nathan Ubisoft did not buy THQ in 2013. I know because I was there. THQ was dissolved and its assets were sold.

That's how people are going to learn what won't fix/low impact means on tickets
