Vibe Coding with Gemini
I’m finding Google’s Gemini to be a good sounding board for topics. I ask it questions like “What are some ways I can build a stand for a TV monitor?”, “What ar...

During the long, dark winter months I decided with no prior skill or experience to make a stop motion short. As such, it’s devoid of great animation. But I hope it makes up for that in weirdness and mood.

This is terrific! The audio really sells it. Reminds me of Michael Granberry’s From Beyond. Really scary!
If you’re looking for critique, I would say be careful with camera angles and movements. Any ti...

Hi everyone,
My name is Archie Bruce, and I’m from Bruce Animation Studios, a 2D animation studio based in Sydney.
I recently came across this platform and thought I'd share something we’ve been developing, which is a tool called Flicker, designed specifically for 2D animation workflows. Flicker han...

Not to knock on anyone’s hard work in today’s animation industry, but there really was (and still is) a certain magic in classic animation that’s just not around anymore and it’s quite sad. I heard someone call it the “9 old men era” for Disney in particular because at the time all the animators wer...

Very true. In some ways the animation of that era out does what exists today.
It really does Kevin Jackson, it’s rather unfair to compare current animation to it. Hopefully there will be a kind of animation renaissance one day, when today’s highly talented animators get even mo...

The nine old men are legends. They make their animation very pure and very genuine. Frank and Ollie were part of the wonderful gang. I watched the documentary about those two and they give us nice behind the scenes work on every classic animation.
I'm organizing a pitch for my show "Clementine & Clyde," but I don't know any producers and have very little contact with the industry. I'd appreciate your feedback and to build a great network!
Id say it's pretty good.
Thank you! My current interest is in pitching an animated series. I'm looking to refine the material and find an agent who believes in the series' potential. I'm also seeking creative partnerships.
This is cute. I love this. The world and characters really speak for themselves.
Hi everyone! I'm new here. I've been working on a really cute animation project for almost a year! Clementine and Clyde is an animated series with absurd humor that tells the story of an energetic little girl and her loyal companion, a charming and sarcastic shadow. Could it become the new Adventure Time?

That's right Cyrus Sales, I posted in more than one forum to get a lot more feedback, because at this stage feedback is essential. Actually, right now I'm testing the impact of the series with the gen...

Lucas Evangelista That honestly makes a lot of sense, especially at this stage. Gathering feedback early can really help shape what resonates most with the audience before moving deeper into productio...

The drawings are sort of like a cross between Adventure Time and One Piece, nice work
Muito obrigado!

AI is everywhere! From initial reactions a couple years ago (Hey, this is neat!) to the latest backlash against AI slop, it’s been quite the rollercoaster ride. As an artist, I have mixed feelings on the use of AI. Generally speaking, I’m open to use different implementations of AI to help me get my...

Highlighting the process from animatic to final animation while also testing different visual approaches. For this scene, we experimented with using picture-based backgrounds versus fully hand-drawn environments to explore workflow, style, and overall impact. Always pushing the process to see what best brings the vision to life.
