just sucks because building a network takes time and costs money in some cases. it REALLY sucks when the service i'm using to build that network involves people with the emotional stability of a forum admin from the mid-to-late aughts

it's not a very well-kept secret that i don't like using platforms that are run by malicious characters and i've had plenty of conversations with friends and even some of my professors on how to navigate putting my work out on areas of the 'net that aren't tainted by bot accounts and fascism

unfortunate truth settling in that you probably have to use websites and services built by morons to get noticed in an industry historically run by (and negatively impacted by) morons

incredibly tragic if true. growing up in canada almost everything i watched came from them (clone high, wayside, tintin, to name many). definitely a major influence on me and my work.

CN News/Schedules @cnschedules.bsky.social · Sep 1

Not officially confirmed but Nelvana, one of Canada's most storied animation studios, appears to have quietly closed down on Friday, yet another casualty of Corus Entertainment's struggle to survive.

FortierMorghan on Twitter: There is no news about this. No announcements. But Nelvana closed its doors today. My dad worked there. It was, to a great extent, the playground I grew up in. It breaks my heart where the industry is going. This company deserved better announcement around this. Better celebration of its contribution to the Canadian entertainment system. But just…. nothing.

Twitter conversation:

Jason the Cartoon Fan on January 17: Nelvana is in serious danger of going defunct, with its assets folded into the rest of its parent company Corus Entertainment.

jenbrained on August 31: Closed its doors on Friday. One of Canadas oldest and most prolific animation studios, produced hundreds of works, just gone in a snap. Canadian media is in a real crisis and it’s gonna get worse

Amethyst Deceiver replies: Holy shit *the* nelvana? Half of the stuff on kids TV in the late nineties was produced there

jenbrained replies: Yep. Many crew members have ended their last productions or are in the midst of closing up shop. Super super sad :/ Mix of streaming taking over and incompetent Canadian telecom companies bleeding money. Huge loss to the animation scene here

Voice actor Deven Mack on Twitter: With 54 years of history yet no major fanfare, Nelvana Ltd. closed its doors this past week.

Some know this animation studio for their work on Rock & Rule, Star Wars Holiday Special, Droids and Ewoks. I knew them for incredible 90s shows that captured my imagination as a child.

As a teen in 2006, Nelvana gave me my first foray into professional voice over with Lab Rat in Grossology, my first and only anime roles as Zeo in Beyblade: Metal Masters and Wynton Bakugan: Battle Planet, along with countless other productions up until this past year.

I've genuinely had nothing but bad experiences with payment processors but I guess if I was some corporate credit card conglomerate I would also dig the hole deeper just to see the cartoonishly evil fuckery I could get away with

Took a look at Hoodwinked! again after 10 some-odd years and I think it holds up pretty good. Some of the shots still look really pretty despite the production and tight budget. It was kind of surreal watching as an adult and being able to recognize modelling and texture techniques.

Unfortunately I've been affected by the Xbox layoffs as well as numerous of my talented colleagues. I'm sad our hard work on Perfect Dark may be lost in the dark.

I'm in the market for senior concept artist, lead concept artist and Art Director roles!
