Hi #GameDev + #IndieGameDev my name is William. As a Title + Motion Designer I’ve worked on Lauren Bacall's final film and the DARKEST DUNGEON II teaser trailer. Check out my reel if you need typography, motion graphics, or 2d puppets for your trailer or game. Or bookmark me for later! wjm.carrd.co
I recommend TESTAMENT.
Today in 1984—just over a year after it first opened in movie theaters—“Testament” was broadcast for the first time on PBS as part of the American Playhouse series. The intimate film memorably dramatizes the devastating effects of a nuclear war on a single family in a small Northern California town.

well I trimmed one page from the first twenty-one of this play I’ve been working on, if I can get each act to twenty I figure it’ll be ready for a table-read

like most fads, this so-called performative reading thing isn’t new, in fact I’ve been doing it for decades, in my apartment, where no one can see but me

Bergman HAMLET sounds a bit like THE PRISONER! “Fortinbras’ leather-clad soldiers, armed w/ machine guns, burst in and mowed down everyone in their way to the accompaniment of thunderous Danish rock music. … a fascist military dictatorship, where morality is as notable in its absence …” #TheatreSky
Hamlet
The emphasis was on violence in Bergman's only production of Hamlet, themed in red, white and black.

been watching the Rod Serling Western series THE LONER starring Lloyd Bridges as a former Union soldier— these twenty-five minute stories can be rather gestural, but the ep “The Kingdom of McComb” co-starring Leslie Nielsen as a local land magnate was pretty good, Nielsen brought some nuance to it

how interesting— learning the word ‘empathy’ started as an art appreciation term(!) at the start of the twentieth century, with the viewer projecting their personality, or ‘feeling into,’ a work of art— an aesthetic experience

discovering games made with the Bitsy engine, shared on Itch, reminiscent of interactive tone-poems and personal-journey comics, wrapped in limited and pleasing color palettes— some explore well-known myths— others eerie folk ballads

simplified my thoughts regarding MUTATIS menu, shown here as a series of columns to convey progression, gray is player1 sprite, colors are player0 sprite, move up column, choose game type (of 4), game difficulty (collect 2 or 4 biota), boost health (left) or shield (right), then four levels #GameDev

folks give away stuff in our laundry room, usually when they move out, the weirdest thing over the years has been a high-end Kylo Ren mask— today there was a bunch of directing books, which made me a little sad— anyway, I scored some Strindberg #TheatreSky
