Hi all!
My name is Veda, I’m 18 and I’m on the road to an acting career. And I would LOVE to work with you! I have yet to get on screen but I have theater experience as well as musical experience. I did ballet and modern jazz in a dance company for about 4 years. And I’m a visual learner, but I can l...

Hi everyone,
My name is Cyrus, and I usually hang out in the Animation and Post Production Lounge, where I also serve as a lounge moderator. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to connect with others in different lounges, so I thought I’d introduce myself here!
A bit about me: I co-own Creative Stat...

Great to have you here Cyrus! How'd you get involved in animation and post production?

Amanda Toney it's honestly been a lifelong journey. My passion has always been in audio, I started listening and playing music at a young age, which led me to choir, band, orchestra, and even garage b...

Achieving an equal result in Blender would take a lot of effort.
I've only been using Blender for a few months to learn basics, and I find it really hard xDx I hope be worth it in the end
I think the animations are good enough already, and would rather focus on visual consistency. For example, the blue bricks in the background (very sharp, and very coldly lit) clash with the orange bri...

I'm a Blender animator - I'd love to hear about the project
One of the things I’m always curious about when talking with producers and filmmakers is how everyone keeps themselves informed about what’s happening across the industry.
Between new distribution models, changing audience habits, production trends, technology shifts, and the constant movement of pro...

I try to stay updated through industry trades, newsletters, and networking with other creatives. I also track the kinds of projects that are getting produced and finding audiences, since that usually signals where the market is moving.
Sebastian Tudores Thanks, that's a good list.
I use the dailies to keep up with the industry.https://newsletter.readthedailies.com/subscribe?ref=EvIH6TrM7d&\_bhlid=bf7a73b936aab597b0df9777ef50b28c5a049d32
I don't subscribe to the trades, but I follow their X accounts so if there are any interesting articles I can read them. I also just signed up for the Dailies. The industry podcast I listen to is THE TOWN. Which basically sums up everything in the trades so saves a lot of time.
My TV pilot, THE CLINIC just was announced to be in the semi-finals.
Wayne, way to GO! Here's to even more success with "The Clinic!" (And your other works, too!)
Congrats!
Share it with me. And also who you submitted it to.
Bravo!
That's exciting. Good way to start the weekend.
I’m a UK-based script editor for film and TV, and I’m excited to read scripts and help writers push their projects forward. Alongside script editing, I’ve worked as a producer’s assistant to senior producers, so I understand how projects are shaped, positioned, and championed behind the scenes. When...

Thank you Amanda Toney. To be honest, I don't know what exactly inspired me.
This week, Japanese entertainment giants Kadokawa and Aniplex announced they are jointly establishing ANIMEC, a new film distribution company dedicated solely to animated films. The move reflects anime's explosive growth in 2025 and signals a strategic effort to maximize its theatrical reach worldwi...

Sam Rivera Wow, this is really exciting! ANIMEC feels like a big step for anime getting the global attention it deserves. Having a dedicated distribution company means more opportunities for animators...

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is the idea of responsibility in storytelling.
Stories have been known to shape society. They can influence how people see the world, how they think, and sometimes even how they treat one another.
At the same time, some stories are simply meant to entertain—an...

Leonardo, I just want to tell audiences the truth...I just want them to keep feeling.
And you have the heart and spirit for it Jim Boston. You spread joy wherever you are my friend.
I’d argue it depends a lot on the context.
If you’re working for a company, trying to get something produced, or simply aiming to entertain an audience, the priorities can be different. Sometimes the g...

Jim Boston The Truth is subjective, to one perspective, try to bring your reality, add a little fantasy to it, people will fell and relate.
Agreed Phil Leasure - working for someone else is a totally different boat...or mostly different. On your second point, it's why I "let it fly" on its own after the piece leaves me. The reaction is go...
