Nothing Netflix does makes any sense. Spend billions on shows but then don't market or advertise them. Create beloved animated series yet refuse to merchandise them. Make award-winning series and rather than celebrate them, they cancel.

Interesting, Adobe stock plummets after another bad quarter. AI not monetizing in the way they’d hoped. I wonder if the thing to take down AI won’t be regulation but instead will be market forces

@DrewMcWeeny The number of shows with ALMOST NO ONE WATCHING must be staggering - I’ve never understood the business model of making more than anyone could watch and then never promoting the majority of it.

I’ve worked on giant movies. I have a decent understanding of what goes into making them. I don’t understand the constant flood of TWO AND A HALF HOUR long summer blockbuster movies that cost $250M+. Give us some super tight 100 minute barnburners for under $80M, please 🙏

{ animation } One of the best animations of the year - I’ve watched this more times than I can count. Technically superb, wildly inventive, and if you’ve ever had to animate a hand for an explainer video? Full of little lessons for the next time you get that kind of assignment.

To save money animating vehicles in Disney's '101 Dalmatians', they created "cel-shaded" model cars, filmed them, and then xeroxed the frames onto the cels which were then painted! Footage from 'Redefining the Line' (2008)

{ motion design } Pitching was the hardest thing to learn as an animator becoming a director, esp on how to generate ideas when you start. Now I do this: • Statement (I believe this) • Question (What do you believe?) • Emotion (Feel like this) • Mystery (Guess what's next)

{ movies } Is there some secret marketing think-tank at studios that gets their directors to agree denigrate their CG teams at EXACTLY the time they’re probably in a death march to deliver their films for them? Does it sell more tickets to shit on VFX a few weeks before release?

Something about this UI has touched a nerve with motion designers, animators, and even editors and real-time artists. Take a look at the comments and quote tweets👇 - we’re def in need of new, fast, intuitive - and dare I say it, DELIGHTFUL experiences in our art creation tools.
