Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but I rly wish big non-animator creators understood that lots of folks put their heart/soul into their jobs & are just doing what they are told...so to call their work "ugly" is...not rad.
If it's not ur thing, leave artists out of it🫤
I’ve had an abortion
I don’t ever talk about this. But im going to today.
And I do not regret my decision from years ago.
What I need people who don’t support choice to know. Abortions are one of the MOST painful thing one can experience. It hurts SO. MUCH & nobody “wants” one
They hurt so fuckin badly. It feels like your body is shutting down w/ SHARP pain.
People get them for many reasons. Medical, financial, mental health, bad relationships, unwanted sex, etc.
Each is their own.
But you take this away from women that can’t & don’t want a child…

It will make it unsafe
It will make it worse than it already is
Abortion is not going away.
I live in California. It was very easy to get one when I needed one. I got it the day after I found out. I was told many times, “if I lived somewhere else this would be hard. Be thankful”
And I am thankful. Once again I don’t regret my decision at all. And if you don’t believe in abortion, literal unfollow me.
Im disgusted by our country. This is dangerous & BAD.
Nobody “wants” an abortion but anybody should be able to get them. And have a kid when it’s right.
❗️PLEASE be kind to your international animation studios.
Most US anim is done outside the US aka shipped out. All those people working on ur boards, ur shows, etc... ARE ARTISTS & PEOPLE.
I don't think I've ever been at a US studio where the team didnt insult the

Reminder:
To do indie animation. You need production people.
To do animation. You need production people.
You have to pay & have production people 👍 you have to pay and have artists.
All animation is expensive cuz everybody needs to be treated fairly. Happy creating 🤘🎨
Leaving the country cause of the US animation industry 🤘✨
I hope in the future, animation can stay IN HOUSE at ALL STUDIOS. Let's make anim truly INTERNATIONAL. More shows, more IPs, more work, people, cities. Let people work ANYWHERE EVERYWHERE, lets get rid of these borders!!
Please be safe and contact Planned Parenthood or any health services if you need help today or any other resources.
I’ve very sorry.
And international friends checking in, this country sucks we know it, so please be kind.
And remember this affects ALL WOMEN. ALL identities. This was a Loss for everyone today.
Do not take people out of the conversation. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Thank you

They want to help, massively understaffed (👀), doing things outside their title, under paid, & not protected.
STOP TAKING THINGS OUT ON THEM.

Animation Production crews also want the show to be good.
They are not obstacles.
We all want the shows to be good.
Production is a skill, just like drawing/art.
We work in cartoons, how wonderful is that! How cool!
But it is a JOB. The people come first! We are all humans⚡️🤘🌈
Animation Production crew members deserve lives, deserve pay, deserve their skills to be used, to be treated w/ respect, & be appreciated as apart of the process.
EVERYONE in ANIMATION deserves better, but don't forget about Animation Production! We are all in this together
Animation Production people are important.
Animation Production people are here to help shows.
They want the show to be good. They help the creator & artists.
They DON'T decide things for the studio. They aren't the final say. They plan & propose.
Be nice to ur production people!

Wanna emphasis, we all have opinions and of course you need to watch this dudes whole video for context. But a title like that and lack of industry KNOWLEDGE and BUSINESS, is a NO for me. There’s a way to commentate, without hurting people doing their best.

Animation Industry PSA; credit your WHOLE staff that worked on the episode.
Credit your WHOLE staff!
Esp. mid to low production people. They work INSANE hours with little pay/help. The credit is WHAT THEY DESERVE at least!😡
DONT support shows that don’t support their WHOLE crew
I had A LOT of my faith shaken in this industry yesterday. More than before
Its hard not to take stuff personally, especially when you work SO hard
If u know an animation production person: just tell them something nice today. Tell them they matter & they do a good job. For me✨

Kind reminder; be nice to your animation production people. They have no safety net and don't get paid well at all. Most want to aid and help as much as they can for long hours.
They want to make the show great too even though they aren't drawing or animating :/
Got some amazing news today❗️
The animated series that I’m producing and pitching of an existing IP, I got told I get to be SHOWRUNNER if it’s greenlit❗️
I’m so wildly honored & childhood me is screaming!! Thank you so much to the team! Can’t wait to get this one out in world🥂
Animation Production skills; the pipeline, coordination, lead sheets, breakdowns, procedure, retakes, scheduling, budgets, shipment, launches, follow ups, vendor conversations, checking, timing, etc... ARE IMPORTANT SKILLS FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW.
PRODUCTION SKILLS ARE IMPORTANT🤘

I HAD MY FIRST DAY AT UBISOFT TODAY‼️
It was awesome and I met some really nice, funny, talented, and cool people. I love being able to walk to work (thats never happened ever in my lifetime). I really like the new town I’m in, I needed to get away from LA.
I will say-
‼️Friendly reminder‼️
Don’t work for free,Don’t do it! Don’t do it for a company & don’t do it for indie
Art, production, VO, designing, editing, coding, writing, Storyboarding, etc, shouldn’t be free
Working for free proves to people that’s how art can work.
You should be paid!
@genegoldstein
That’s exaaaaaactly how I felt when I saw Mr Beast do his frickin squid game things. I thought it was so insulting A) to the creator that took years to get this off the ground about his culture and views on the world. And B) totally against the point of the show.
***I also wanted to point out cause I didn’t have enough length in the tweet….
Not wanting kids is a REASON. Plain and simple.
And honestly it’s THE reason I had.
Sorry if that got over looked but I 100% support that too. Thank you for pointing that out anybody who commented🤘
❗️Thinking about doing a “How to Animation Production” stream next week.
I’d like to educate. I’d like to show how important production is. How necessary it is. How is it an art. How production & artists work together.
I wanna answer ?’s that maybe people would like to know!🤘
A lot of these production documents you only see when working on a show, but you need to know them to get job. That doesn’t make sense so come learn about them and use in interviews 🤘

What I wish they taught more young people: LOTS OF JOBS make Film/Animation. You don’t have to be an actor or storyboard artist (no shade, just showcased a lot).
There’s many positions in the process; edit, sound, marketing, lights, etc.
You might find new things to love! EXPLORE

Howdy y’all! 😆 I’m clocking out of this tweet.
As stated in the main tweet; there was never any ILL towards Scott, he had an opinion & I did.
I DID watch the video, I don’t think that title is helpful at all.
idk, we should be nice to our crews that are working on things.-
