It can be amazingly difficult to animate an ordinary everyday action convincingly.

Some new animation (test).
Would you like to watch a feature length film with these characters, in this style?
Would you pay for it?
How about this mixture of photo and painted background?

I have met so many Dans, and female Dans, and they always blow my mind
![[Scene is a SCIENCE RESEARCH FACILITY where two white coated scientists are standing at a desk of instruments and controls in front of a one way mirroe, looking at a mocked-up drinks party scene in the next room. In that room is a man named Dan and a woman, holding glasses of wine and apparently having a conversation. Dan, however, has a hi tech helmet strapped to his head, with wires extruding from it and leading to the instruments next door. Dan when we see him close up has a slightly dull expression and is droning on, while the lady listens, smiling politely].
[Scientists looking through the glass]
SCIENTIST 1:
And is this one of your patients?
SCIENTIST 2:
Yes
SCIENTIST 1:
This is Dan.
Dan was born completely incapable of asking people about themselves at parties.
DAN [close up, droning on while the woman listens]:
...So yeah 1 like implement creative solutions... and I work with clients to design a... and I'm writing a novel about like this guy...
SCIENTIST 1 [Looking at a screen showing Dan's brain with a hole in the middle]:
As you can see, despite talking about himself for the past two hours, the part of the brain which gives a toss about other people's lives shows no activity at all.
SCIENTIST 1 [bending over a microphone on the desk and pressing the intercom button]:
Dan...
Ask the lady... what her job is.
[Dan pauses.]
[Dan continues to pause]
DAN:
What's your job.
LADY [smiling humbly]:
Oh, I'm a murderer?
Well, contract killer, you know, haha...
[Show dan, silent]
[Show lady, smiling, waiting for a response]
[Show dan, still silent]
[Show Dan, slowly opening his mouth to speak
DAN:
And-
[But Dan falls silent again]
[Show Lady looking slightly desperate now, silently willing him to continue]
[Still nothing from Dan. But then...]
DAN:
...And yeah part of my job is I coordinate media content to across platforms to create -
SCIENTIST 1:
Fascinating
SCIENTIST 2:
Isn't it

Allow me to translate: “it’s okay to kill these people because they’re queers”
Jesse Watters highlights that Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by ICE, had "pronouns in her bio" and "leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage"

The real reason we have January
![Ancient Rome. KING POMPILIUS, the second king of Rome, is reclining dramatically on his chaise longue, fingers on temples, near to an amphora of WINE. His slave, SPIRO, is nearby.
1
POMPILIUS:
Hey, Spiro...
3
POMPILIUS:
Hey, *Spiro*…
SPIRO:
Yes, King Pompilius?
4
POMPILIUS:
I was just thinking like…
I hope you’re not planning on giving me any of that *wine*…
5
SPIRO:
Would you like some wine, sir?
POMPILIUS:
NO!
6
POMPILIUS:
Haven’t I told you Spiro, I’m *doing dry January*?
SPIRO:
Quite a few times, sir.
7
POMPILIUS:
I mean it’s doing my head in but I feel sooo healthy for it y'know?
SPIRO:
Yes sir you’ve mentioned that too
8
SPIRO:
Sir - may I ask… what is dry January?
9
POMPILIUS:
It’s a thing where you don’t drink all January.
SPIRO:
and what is… January?
POMPILIUS:
It’s a new month I made up.
10
SPIRO:
You made up a new month
POMPILIUS:
Yeah, two actually.
11
[Pompilus produces a scroll with the Roman two-faced god JANUS drawn on it]
POMPILIUS:
This one’s January, I named it after Janus who has two faces
12
POMPILIUS:
so he can tell as many people as possible that he’s-
SPIRO:
…doing dry January, yes

What a sneak peek! Pixar animator Rob Thompson used Moho to draw, rig, and animate these characters for a teaser of "Feo the Chupacabra," a graphic novel written by Sequoia Blankenship, also a Pixar animator, and illustrated by Rob Thompson. You can pre-order it now! #mohoanimation

Comic artists and other book makers: please, even if you print tangible volumes in small sizes (which I adore), make the lettering large enough. I just got an otherwise perfect book which I can only read by using a magnifying glass, which is inconvenient and humiliating.

1/2 Apropos of nothing in particular, I guarantee I will never write a piece of fiction with the "help" of a large language model because a) I spent too many years developing skills to just fuck off now, b) I don't plagiarize other authors, whether intentionally or by way of statistical matches.

2/2 Nor, when it comes to writing awards, will I nominate or vote to award, a piece of work partially or wholly written by LLM. Awards are for writers who make the effort, not those who offload the difficult aspects of creation to a program mining the work of others. Do the fucking work, people.
