Bernd is awesome as always, of course, but Void is so well animated in this! I wonder who did it? I love the timing and attitude!

Just a lay in, mainly to impress on my #animdiversity mentee the importance of using reference as a spring board rather than a close guide.
Reference is collected, edited and reedited, timed and retimed, long before jumping in to Maya.

As a long time fan of the "Can you pet the ___" account, I consider it a personal honor to have an animation I created be featured on it. 🥰

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
OpenAI confirms they're helping make an AI-generated movie called 'Critterz'
• Goal is to finish production in 9 months
• Budget is ~$30M
• Plan is to debut the film at Canne
• 'Paddington 3' writers penned the script
• Art will be fed into Chat GPT 5 and other image models
