Really excited to share a look at the fantasy/comedy pilot I've been working on! Can't wait for you all to meet Fred and his family, who may or may not have made it entirely into this poster. #IndieAnimationDay

It’s finally here!! Been working behind-the-scenes for months on an Extremely Accurate Birds short for the amazing @dropout @toonoutDO … it’s been SO DIFFICULT to keep it secret!! And yes, that’s Brennan Lee Mulligan on lead vocals!
Adapted from a song for my Extremely Accurate nlisted @CareenIngle to help with storyboarding, Stephanie Graves to run animation production workflow, and the brilliant @will_bits to animation direct and animate the whole damn thing. There are clips on Dropout’s Instagram, but the full thing is exclusively on their subscription YouTube and standalone streaming service for now! I’d be honored as hell if you took a look at my official animation debut!

Did you guys vote yet? Some pretty important decisions on the line today. Which is why I personally am choosing to watch @toonoutDO on Dropout so that I don't have to think about any of them.

Some behind the scenes of a little rotoscoping for @TommySiegel and @toonoutDO ! It’s amazing the lengths we’ll go to, to make these birds as accurate as physically possible.

Guys, it's simple. You don't have to get off the internet for 2 weeks. You just have to flood the zone with fake spoilers. If every ending is real, none of them are.
Bonus Points to anyone who spends the next 2 months making fan edits and then poorly records them on a phone.

Hey YouTube, how about restarting that creator funding program only this time use it to benefit Animation channels like Glitch and such?
YouTube reports indie animation is taking over:
• 61% of Gen Z fans say they enjoy independent animated series as much as or more than studio content
• The Amazing Digital Circus trended in 8/12 countries after just 4 episodes
• “Alien Stage” videos pulled 330M+ views in side Korea
• 50% of viewers watch animated content in other languages

Thought of a really snarky April Fools joke but then remembered I don't really like April Fools, so I guess skip it.

The problem is that Illumination doesn't really make "films", they make the trailers first and then kinda cobble those moments together later as best they can. Sometimes this works out okay, but even in the best case you can always feel how disjointed it makes the final product.
“it’s a mario movie for kids! were you expecting it to have a deep plot???” and then the movie is paced like this:

Geez I really need to post more on here, huh? I'll be honest I wasn't expecting to snag this name so I'm probably just gonna randomly post things to keep active until I'm ready to actually promote production.
We're on hiatus while other jobs pay the bills, but updates soon!

Did YouTube or Google ever set aside an Animation Grant to encourage local talent? Or even promoting those already making it on the platform?
It's always felt like an afterthought there, if not actively discouraged. Just imagining what a million bucks could do for indies.

Google has invested $1 MILLION into an AI animation studio to produce kids content for YouTube.
Just one month after the platform’s CEO announced a crackdown on “AI slop.”
