A satisfying loop I found of me hosting at the last @overlapsocial.com. I feel very conscious of how self indulgent this can seem, but if it helps cheerlead the animation industry I can fool myself that it's not about ego stroking.

Last time Louis recounted and accidentally summoned Brum's foremost piece of folklore, the Piss Troll, while suspended in the air dressed as a fairy.

Nov 26th’s prompt is FORTUNE.

Here’s a throwback to our 6th birthday in May. Loads of talent. A custom present from Pahnl, surprise messages from previous Overlappers, and a game of pass the parcel.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

About a year ago, I animated some scenes for Funboys.

In the end I handled most of the elements. I storyboarded it to help technical supervise filming. I did the designs, animation,FX and compositing, which wouldn't;t be ideal on a larger project, but for this it simplified marrying the elements.

I get a kick from making stuff for the events. It’s a non-precious bit of fun, but also I can put my dignity last if it gets eyes on people creating art. It means a lot when people bare their soul a little bit for Overlap.
