that müller corner advert with the teacher licking the yogurt off the packaging: what the hell is going on with the classroom being so dimly lit? Why did they choose to make it look like there was a power cut?

A passage leading to a doorway for #ADoorableThursday. It leads from Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate to Shambles in York. One is the city's shortest streets with the longest name, t'other one of the busiest.

Hey folks, just got the news I'll be laid off mid April.

I'll be looking for concept and cinematic storyboarding gigs and anything else in between. I've gotten to do feature ownership, mentoring, some ad work, texture vis dev: generally cool but invisible stuff. Translating 2d to 3d is my jam.

My portfolio is on cara - cara.app/axl99

So far I have personal work, indie game stuff, mobile game stuff, and some cinematic storyboards from my time on Gears 5 and The Long Dark ep4.

There are projects from older jobs that are still under NDA that I'm still not able to show publicly.

My wife just told me orchids are parasitic plants that leech off of trees, and my mind is blown. Makes their roots seem way more like tentacles

i call this the Fincher Cut because he used to always include cuts to whip pans. Fight Club in particular is full of these types of "cut to whip pan and dynamic camera move" things.
(this is not Fincher's Cat. she is Ant's Cat: Patches)

I have a new theory regarding the best way to cook tomato sauce. We could be looking at a hard reset
