ABSOLUTELY YES

Friendly reminder that the Annie Awards do not have any categories related to CG cinematography. Not for previs, not for layout, not even for lighting. That's practically a third of all artists that work on a CG project, and I'd say they deserve to be recognized!

First Saturday working overtime on Zootopia 2. First of many. Many many. Like untold amounts of many. That many.

No honor amongst thieves.

Some excellent and well-deserved picks ⭐

People rely too much on social media to remember who their friends are. If you're not constantly maintaining a strong online presence, some people will straight up forget about you.

For anyone tracking the LA fires, I have found AirNow really useful, as it shows updated locations of the actual burn area and air quality in the same map: fire.airnow.gov#9.46/33.9879...

Most of Burbank has post power tonight, eating dry food and watching our freezers melt. But for now we're safe from fire danger. 🙏 Keeping other LA friends in our thoughts as the fires grow across the region.

Honestly, "Tweet" should become a proprietary eponym that just means any kind of short form social media post on any site.

Just submitted my vote! 🗳️ Remember fellow guild members, Sunday is the final day. Only half of membership has voted so far so let's juice those numbers!

Animation Guild: regardless of what you think of the tentative agreement, we need membership to engage more. Go to meetings. Join a committee. Become a Captain. Please stop complaining online & thinking that's sufficient participation. The union is not just our leaders, it's US.

Today our beloved "Magic Hat Building" celebrates 30 years of making movie magic!

Wondering what a CG Layout Artist does all day? Here's three clips from my work on Encanto. We block out a rough 3D visualization of the scene w/ characters, cameras, lighting, and effects. This serves as a working template for all other departments to finalize on top of. The essence of filmmaking!
