so I found out that @everydaylouie.bsky.social made a wonderful little 'intro to blender' sort of thing that goes into his favourite aesthetic inspiration as well, this is so awesome as a first taste of this program where you can go learn more once you have it all. So awesome youtu.be/Nvk8V_yfR9c

Reanimator is the horror fandom equivalent to the BBC Sherlock. In this essay I will discuss the female fandom dynamics and their similar patterns in ...

A French film swept Japan in the '50s — and its impact on Japanese animation was immense. Among its fans were Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata and their co-workers at Toei Doga. We explore how they saw it, why they loved it and what they learned: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-french...

The scariest thing about this anime was finding out it's only 24 minutes long.

not now kitten, daddy’s leitmotif is returning imbued with sinister significance

Met Gala is happening, and me NOT being under finals stress is so wired. They are so interconnected in my brain to the point I'm like !!!

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

Sinners (2025)

Want to know more about the success of "Ne Zha 2" and the current state of the Chinese animation market? Here's an article by my friend @excessions.bsky.social (in english & french). >> www.catsuka.com/focuson/nezh... Reminder: "Ne Zha 2" was released today in France.

The Hand is a stop-motion masterpiece -- and one of the very best animated films. Director Jiří Trnka made it as a protest, attacking the dictatorship that used him as its pawn. But the film has more layers than many realize, as we discover: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/revisiting...

If you're ever shooting a miniature and want it to look like real life, you have to shoot at a higher framerate. However, there's actually a formula for how to do it and make it gravity look convincing! Target framerate * the square root of scale you're working at = shooting framerate Example:

Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland (1996) Developed by DreamWorks Interactive.

GRAVITY (2002) Acrylic on Canvas - 35" x 43" Once when I was being sedated for surgery and I was counting backwards, “99, 98, ...” I felt this surge of irresistible calm sweep over me like a vast tide of night. While I floated away, I felt myself become totally, completely relaxed. 1/3

Convincing myself drinking one redbull will magically motivate me to work.

First Night in the City

Studios and developers want instant financial success and cite media like Spongebob- a show that did not do super well in the ratings for two seasons and was granted a third anyway. This industry used to grant time and trust to let things develop, find a voice, find an audience, be marketed.

In animation we hear "We want the next Bluey". The cost of doing business used to be making a hundred shows to get a Spongebob. All the other shows? A lot will still make money, and the talent who worked on them could give you the next Bluey.

I used to struggle with foot placement in my turnarounds until I figured out this hack, hope it helps!

This is what you do after winning an Oscar
