Via @automaton-media.com, composer Uematsu: “I’ve never used AI & probably never will. I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself. When you listen to music, the fun is also in discovering the background of the person who created it, right?"

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

A French film swept Japan in the '50s — and its impact on Japanese animation was immense.
Among its fans were Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata and their co-workers at Toei Doga. We explore how they saw it, why they loved it and what they learned:

Samurai Jack is a classic. And it's fueled by its rich images -- the backgrounds, animation and visual storytelling.
Genndy Tartakovsky was sick of dialogue. He wanted to take a risk on a visual series, and Cartoon Network supported it. We explore:

It’s year five of moving from LA to Seattle. In the last year, I have purchased my first down jacket, merino wool layers and most recently — a wind jacket. My closet is slowly becoming gorpcore. It’s only a matter of time. If anyone reads this message, tell my family I love them.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.
