Lighting artist and Scottish fool. I love horror, heartfelt indie games, plants, socialism, solarpunk etc. She/Her

@maggiemccabeart Really wanna see what they're saying on tiktok but I made a pact with myself to never get it, too addictive lol but what I HAVE seen was on tumblr so who knows what's worse

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

I was just casually looking up Scrooge: A Christmas Carol to see what kiddos think of the movie I did some lighting for and hoo boy they sure are getting weird with it

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

@ninja_steve Oh the official reviews are so cursed for sure! The kids going on about how Scrooge is "hot" is what's really surprising me ahaha

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

@LaurenSDavidson yesssss this is so cool!!

Continuing with my theme of working on Christmas movies featuring Olivia Coleman! Lighting on this was real fun :)

do you ever look at a company's upper management page and it's like that old meme about the American Horror Story cast all just being the same guy

I do dog training while houdini opens up sometimes but as a result this lil stinker has learned that if he comes over and lies down by my desk and looks up at me all sweetly he might get treats and pats 🙄🙄🙄 and he's absolutely correct

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

Watched The House finally!! Extremely gorgeous animation, particularly on part 3- such expressive characters

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

feel like I know the rhyme off by heart after 5 months of working on it, my mum is gunna hate me

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

been learning bits of German on duolingo and get a lil bit of joy every time I have to say out loud those ch sounds (as in 'loch') that they have in common with Scots

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

picked up like a billion hobbies and seeing so so many pals since my contract finished, absolutely lovin life

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

11pm on a saturday night hashing out fixes on your horror short film with your pals, standard art grad behaviour

When in Scotland…

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

Yesterday was the best. Mad God was insane to watch at 12am- a crazy descent into stop-motion hell! Broadcast Signal Intrusion was SO my kinda thing and Lamb was surprisingly sweet??? Sad to be missing the last day but work calls! Till next year #celluloidscreams !

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

So glad to be back at #CelluloidScreams again. Highlights so far have been the absolute mindfuck of Ultrasound, crazy underwater set production of The Deep House and just the hilarious goreyness of the short film Guts 💕

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

Late to the party but Midnight Mass is incredible so far, Mike Flanagan's just constantly knocking it out of the park huh (also some bits are suuuper relatable from a religious upbringing!)

[Creepy-crawly McCarthy @mlmccarthyart]

My copy of Working In: The Arts came! It's so gorgeous and optimistic and exactly what every aspiring artist needs to hear- that your niche exists and you CAN make a living on it. Congrats to everyone involved and it's neat to see my bud @Angusfordays repping team animation :D
