every bad decision you see make it to screen is probably the result of executive meddling and not the fault of the artist you've decided to yell at on social media

Translation is about 80% skill in your native language, 20% skill in your second language.
It's not about knowing what is being said. Anyone can do that. It's about saying the same thing in a different language with the same emotional impact.

I have a core memory of watching Angry Beavers with my dad in bed when I was sick, with him laughing the whole time, and to this day whenever I start talking about the animation industry with him he asks "when is someone going to reboot my Angry Beavers??"
Okay you guys, what’s the best book, movie, or TV show your dad introduced you to

Hello, Universe.
I see Teen Titans Go got a tenth season.
It would be so cool if I could storyboard JUST ONE EPISODE OF IT.
Just let me give back to the franchise that means the most to me and got me into animation.
thanks!!!!

Yesterday I lamented the fact that my upward career trajectory was completely stunted by Zaslav canning my last directing position in 2023, and I've been scrambling for work since. I had a taste of career fulfillment and I'm still chasing that high.
