So I took the day to work on some animatics.
Nothing too special otherwise for the next few days. Seems like I might still shoot B-roll footage for the live action short film on the 30th given the weather.

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

It's gonna be cold af tho.

Heading to my hometown for the holidays tonight.
Seems like the holidays will be a little weird yet again. I can't remember the last time I had a normal Christmas.

Oh they're looking for ideas?
I got a movie idea involving an illusionist for hire, can I borrow a few million dollars?

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

Fun fact, we didn't use AI on the production.
Just pure artistic work, lots of caffeine, and lots of pasta salad from the shawarma place on the first floor.

So I've been holding on it for over a year. The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants is now in theaters, and I got the opportunity to work on the animation!

I could fight over an AI to generate shitty images, or just sketch ideas on a cheap Android tablet.
It's not hard to sketch compositions and then use that in your projects.

So a while back I sent a message asking an app developer about an oversight on his app involving a toggle that wouldn't stay off since it would break things for me.
He has since fixed the issue, and by fixed I mean he took out the toggle and made it default to on.
What the fuck man ...

People were asking about the Rainbow Dash watch in one of the Anthology shorts.
It's not AI, I just built a whole 3D custom watch in Blender and rendered it with a lot of DOF and chromatic aberrations.

Seems like my computer mouse has been dropping clicks, and the battery is struggling to hold a charge.
A new one is $159.99, I think I might just get myself a new soldering iron and new parts to fix the current one instead. I haven't touched one in over a decade.
