The freelance struggle:
You’re hired but want freedom to work on personal projects
Vs
You’re free to work on personal projects but have lost confidence in your ideas cos no-one is hiring you.
An agency got me in to animate a rectangle splitting in two. (Not exaggerating). It was 2 keyframes and took 30secs.
For 2 days i had three creative directors stood behind me telling me different ways to do it. Over 60 versions were made.
The client chose the first version.
Animators.
If you want a sizeable passive income from 30 seconds of animation:
1. Animate a loop of an animal nodding their head in a bedroom.
2. Create an hour long mix of obscure lofi hip hop beats.
3. Upload to Youtube.
If you, or someone you know, wants to learn how to rig and animate characters like this (in After Effects using RUBBERHOSE):
I made a tutorial series.
1. Rigging.
2. Animating on hold keyframes.
3. Animating normally.
donald glover hiring for an "AI Prompt Animator" instead of an Animation Director totally wont backfire on him and his team certainly wont have to sort through thousands of applicants who think outsourcing creativity is being creative.
I MADE A GAME
Frog Lady is available now on the App Store
Frog Lady is a 100% free arcade game for IOS.
100% free? How?
Well, instead of PAYING for rewards, you EARN them with highscores.
Like 3 new characters... or getting rid of ads.
For free.

Just as frustrating as I remember.
The new RANDOM feature means pipes or enemies can spawn at random positions. It opens up a world of possibilities for mini-games in Rive 🥳
very early in my career i turned up to a "one-day" freelance animation job.
the posh, rugby-type producer proceeded to tell me it would be an all-night gig.
none of the thousands of layers were labelled.
i asked where the toilet was, got up and walked out the front door.
I wouldn't mind

getting $400million if you could see the artist's name on Instagram.
Some GIFs have BILLIONS of views and there's no way to find the artist.
We're potentially missing tonnes of work.
Exposure means nothing if you can't find us.
If you suffer from depression or anxiety, I highly recommend you start operating on a routine! My routine...
7am - wake up
7:30am - meditate
8am - make breakfast
9am - gym
10am - go to work
10:30am - go to sleep
I do this every day, minus the work on weekends! But it saved me!
