It’s completely bizarre for a week or two and you’ll feel like you’re going to fall down every staircase you descend, but eventually your brain figures it out. Switching to single frame for computer work is the way to go.

Do you know the date of your trip? We’ve been trying to nail down when that was added!

Fantastic! Welcome to Florida. I know you’ll do spectacular there.

If you were interested in giving a presentation, we could work that out too. But if you just want to enjoy the event, and I think you would, that’s cool.

Our next event is going to be in California, Chris. If you want a booth, you’ve got it.

It has to be a reference. Robert Canon, one of the Dover Boys animators, directed this short.

I don't want to stop making these (see previous skeet).

Sure, this is stupid. On the other hand, it's a delightful opportunity to spread chaos.

Ah - corporate as in Disney corporate, not corporate sponsors.

What do you mean by “corporate IP mandates?”

These two make everything they touch wonderful beyond belief.

Welcome to Lord Henry’s Mystic Manor, our latest commissioned piece for an ardent admirer of the dark ride attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland. Our one-of-a-kind dimensional miniature is wood and colorful acrylic paints with some metallic layers for a little extra magic. We loved working on this.✨

As long as we don’t have a built a “Mickey’s Imagineeringland” in 6 months using our marketing budget so people know where they can meet Tony Baxter consistently.

I propose that if a public figure is caught lying, we should require them to eat a much-too-spicy-for-mortals pepper in front of a live audience while they answer questions about their lie. And for each subsequent lie, another, spicier pepper. We can get the guy from Hot Ones to ask the questions.

Do you think we could get the American Legion Post?

I like how he casually drops the word “film” in it. We all see what you did there.

Good lord I have resting Nunis face.

Related to previous post, I am really enjoying editing with DaVinchi Resolve. I’ve been an Adobe Premiere user since 1.0, Resolve is so much faster, on my computer at least.

I just finished up another evening of assembling PowerPoint presentations and editing videos. #RetroMagic is going to have some bangers again this year!
