More famous people in the entertainment industry need to go full anti-AI the same way Lars Ulrich going full anti-Napster in the 2000s was basically his personality.

brits please fill this out, make calls, etc, this is absolutely beyond the pale basically an exception from the law for AI when it comes to theft is just.... ridiculous

"Clean Kill : Windscreen Wipers" mini episode by @studiomeala.bsky.social (Ireland). An animated series project about "four down-on-their luck strangers who are forced to pilot a giant robot". Full video >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAeV...

First trailer of "Takopi" anime series (2025). Directed by Shinya Iino at Enishiya studio. Character designs by Keita Nagahara. >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCcA...

The goal has been met, but can we hit that $11,000 mark before the campaign ends?! We have less than two days to make it happen! #TheEbonyWitch #Animation #IndieAnimation #SupportIndieAnimation Link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/kaw...

I voted on the @animationguild.bsky.social Tentative Agreement ✊️✨️ Fellow TAG Union Members, remember to check your emails and cast your vote by the deadline!! #UnionStrong #StandWithAnimation

Registration is open NOW!

Urging my fellow artists here in the UK to fill this in as well as to email your local MP to fight this

The fact that Disney keeps getting these directors with a great track record but the movies they have them on always fall flat is all the more evidence that executive meddling makes them a creative blackhole.

🫠 *sigh* Daily reminder for my fellow UK artists, please email your local MP, they want us to be quiet about this so they can slip this through.

So fucking rad

Animation Guild members! It’s time! Vote however you want but let’s show everyone how engaged we are!

The history of Jentry continues today! P12 - a new Jentry! Thank you all for your support💜

My Christmas wish: Raise donation money so I can pay for a new computer or macbook and create art. Any donation would be helpful

Keep an eye on this for me youtu.be/KAeV_4loc0c

Despite everything I’ve been dealing with mentally and physically, I’m still so excited to finish these boards and for people to see what I’m working on hehe. I think it’s some of the best stuff I’ve ever done 👀

Animators are so cool and hot

We all like to procrastinate until the very last minute (especially artists), but TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE ON THE CONTRACT! Read the MOA and vote how you feel. This is your last chance to make your voice heard! #standwithanimation

Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work. I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

Annie Awards 2025 Best Feature-Indie nominees : - Look Back - Flow - Mars Express - Chicken for Linda! - Memoir of a Snail - Kensuke's Kingdom Lots of great movies in this list. Tough choice. deadline.com/2024/12/anni...

i had artblock and no idea what to do 👍 #unionyaoi

I'm so over the "10 episodes or less" format for streaming shows, especially when the 20-24 episode format worked so well for television for decades until streaming upended it. It often leads to pacing issues and less character development.

"TO BE HERO X" Anime scheduled for April! New PV: youtu.be/ynd2-ZeiNoY?...

THIS WEEKEND IS THE DEADLINE TO VOTE!! Get to it, fellow TAG Union Members (PLS) 👏👏✨️✨️

This was a cool one! Fellow Indie Creator, @geordenwhitman.bsky.social got to do an interview with Post Modern Art Podcast. I was really impressed by the questions and it was great seeing Georden light up about his views on storytelling and what needs to change in animation! Good shit! 🔥

New trailer of "False Memory" chinese animated series by Flint Sugar & Studio Tumble (based on a 2020 indie short film). Coming in 2025 on BiliBili. Full trailer >> www.catsuka.com/news/2024-12...

instant dislike for me (or if they openly use ChatGPT for their research)

You can use @resist.bot to tell Joe Biden to show mercy for the holidays.

Please ask Joe Biden to do this.

Harassment IS the best-use case for this technology. Disgorge the datasets. Stop using it to "help your process". Generative AI is garbage built to create garbage built on the backs of billions of hours of creative labour scraped without consent. Dustbin of history. Scorched earth.

History repeating. Remember 2008-? I know I do. ADV and Geneon a went away, Bandai Ent was holding steady and Funimation became dominant. Let me tell you a story...

i decided to do that color wheel challenge again this year #fanart

This is what I was talking about with a previous post. None of these were written off. Paramount’s just trying to save money by not streaming them themselves while they wait for the Skydance merger. Go check Amazon or iTunes for any shows they removed. They’re there.

I don't care that AI Gen can look pretty, or that sometimes you can't tell it apart. I don't want glossy images pumped out from unethically scraped data, I want art MADE BY REAL PEOPLE because I'm in love with art as an organic, human-made process that connects us and adds meaning to our lives.

Let the Crunchyroll news be a lesson in that no one company stays on top of anime distribution for long. The history of the American anime industry goes thus: Streamline -> Central Park Media -> ADV -> Funimation -> Crunchyroll -> ????

Animation Guild! Voting on the contract closes SUNDAY! 🤡 Vote NOW! Shaggy 2 Dope has one last present under the Christmas tree! One last reminder to vote! #standwithanimation #voteforanimation www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Nbkst8/

I cannot vote because I'm not an animator (at least not professionally...yet, anyway...), but judging from what I've heard, I hope The Animation Guild votes NO to the quote-unquote "agreement"... If we need to have a longer strike, then so fucking be it! #StandWithAnimation #SayNoToAI

Elon Musk and Donald Trump tried to shutdown the government and raise the debt limit to pass huge tax cuts for their billionaire friends - but we stopped them. The government stays funded and we move forward. Don’t ever stop fighting.
