There is a very good chance of me getting kicked out of this lounge for asking this question. Can anyone do remote work for animation? I have the type of screen you can draw or do digital art on like Wacom and Xp-pen and I would love to do some storyboard work but if I'm right in thinking that one n...

Itās strange what your grandkids get you into, isnāt it?
A few weeks ago, Iād never heard of āBlueyā, a kidās cartoon series from Ludo Studios in Queensland, Australia and written and conceived by Joe Brumm.
My grandson, aged four, loves coming home and chilling after a hard day at school and has fa...

Kevin Jackson have you tried reaching out to them, Kevin?

"Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" earned the win for Best Feature, Bob Harper. I could see "TMNT: Mutant Mayhem" winning too. I'm surprised "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" wasn't nominated for Best...
Expand commentI would have liked to see TMNT get more love, but Spider-man was clearly deserving of its accolades. As was Blue Eye Samurai.
Maurice Vaughan I really like Turtles too. I was a bit surprised that Miyazaki didn't win, considering who votes for these, but I felt Spiderverse deserved it. Also, they had an indie feature division...

Could be good for some gifs and memes though.
Pat Alexander I agree - we'll see how committed they are to it.
Mike Boas I remember when CG was just floating spheres and low polygon models. It's just the beginning.
Instagram often suggests animation tutorials to me. Hereās a great one from Danila Mikhailov that explains the use of breakdown poses.

When Iām teaching young animators, the concept of straight, linear in-betweens is usually what I start with.
By the time theyāre older teens, I can bring in the principles of eases and breakdowns. I m...
Expand commentFantastic share, Mike Boas!
I remember Eric Goldberg stating he didn't thumbnail a scene. I like floating between straight-ahead animation and pose-to-pose - it keeps things interesting..
How neat! Thank you for sharing, Mike Boas!
Very cool;! Thanks for sharing Mike Boas !

Bob Harper the action was so fun!!
This is a neat interview of the creator of Hazbin Hotel which represents a potential new model of how animated series can be created, funded and distributed.

Go to any film festival and you will see lots of cool indie animation films like these. There is still so much untapped potential out there in the animation space that's just begging to get unleashed!
It's great to see how many avenues are available to indie creators and the potential is unparalleled. The business model is certainly attainable to a much wider creative community than in years past,...

Hey there,
Any fans of vintage superhero cartoons? How about barbarians? If you are, you'll probably get a kick out of this. Like all no-budget projects, this one has some issues, (some big issues), but I like to think there is also a little bit of shiny stuff under the schmutz. Definitely a learnin...
Expand postYou're welcome, Simon Turnbull. I like to watch old cartoons and look for things in them that I might've missed growing up.
I grew up on Superfriends as well - this is awesome, Simon Turnbull!
Very cool, Simon Turnbull ! It's like a mashup of Thundar the Barbarian, He-Man, and Spaceghost. Well done!
Well done Simon Turnbull! Takes me back to watching Johnny Quest.
