If you dig deep enough into #IndieAnimation, I promise you there's a lot more you can watch vs what you've already seen

No algorithm can ever 100% show everyone's projects, so if you like a student film/feature/short/series, share it!

And keep digging ofc

I actually animated this ages ago and never posted it oops 🫣

But now with the Umbert Actually series kickstarter currently running I can share this AND tell you to go support indie animation by backing the Umbert Actually kickstarter ✨

It's been a while, hasn't it! Are you still supporting #IndieAnimation?

There's just under ONE MONTH to go until #IndieAnimationDay on 16th May, and the feed will return soon!

Until then, stay tuned. We have an important PSA coming next week...

I think what brought me to love #invincible is how unafraid this series was in showing the very real consequences of having superpowers

And after that S3 finale I just can't stop watching, I want more

📰 RECOMMENDATION 📰

Today, it isn't an #IndieAnimation. It's an important insight into why it costs, and why projects need as much support as they can get.

Fans, even creators, you are HIGHLY recommended to watch this to understand why #SupportIndieAnimation is much more than just a Hashtag. 👇(1/2)

Straight up facts
Small rant, while It's awesome to see more support for indie animation these day, there seems to be this unrealistic expectation that all these projects must fit that polished TV budget animation look™️ in order to be deemed 'good.' (1/3)

Animation error from earlier this week. I'm keeping it #IndieAnimation #b3d #ToonTubeNews

another indie animation day has rolled around- I made a short myself as I was learning blender, here it is if you' like to see it
I almost forgot... today is #indieanimationday!

I made an animated short film called Dyssomnia, about befriending your sleep paralysis demon. Here is the teaser (sans voice over but you get the gist)

📰 RECOMMENDATION 📰

Sometimes, great #IndieAnimation series slip through the cracks unwillingly.

So this #TakeoverTuesday on Newgrounds, we are strongly recommending you to watch The Infinimart, a chaotic, hilarious original series by Chris Bak. Here's what you're in for... (🧵1/6) 👇

It's June's first day but who's going to be stuck training him?

Indie Animation: Stories Told Independently
February 7, 2025 at 6:31 PM
I'll stand by this all the time.

It's always when I think back to the days when I got called not black enough/oreo/bounty bc I didn't talk "black" or have enough "black" interests... Makes me laugh to this day
@ black people. I just wanted to give you a reminder that it's okay to like the things you like, dress the way you dress, and be friends with the people you're friends with. None of that makes you "Less black" because racists only see your skin color. You aren't acting white because you're diverse.

Ahhh back from from the birthday hiatus

3 1/2 weeks till #IndieAnimationDay LESS GOOOO!
