For the first time ever, I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas last night.
I'm sorry, fans... I think it's overrated.
The movie has tremendous amounts of style, visual creativity, and good songs. But I found hardly any substance in it. I just didn't care about any of the characters (even Jack).

It's Club Penguin's 20th anniversary. Words can't express how grateful I am to have been part of it.
But words can try. Today's Club Penguin video is going to have a lot of memories: youtu.be/ULjO6yaRAgM

You know, the Internet might be a shadow of the hopeful, optimistic place it felt like in decades past, but at least there are fewer pop-up ads.

My short film, the Town that Cried Wolf, is 90-95% finished. I need to make the credits, which means that the Late Pledges on the Kickstarter needs to be shut down. If you wanted to get in on that, this is your last weekend to do so: www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...

So, I get these YouTube ads that promise that if I can imagine a website, AI can build it for me. Because, after all, "coming up with the idea is the hardest part".
1. No, coming up with the idea isn't the hardest part. The hardest part is FINISHING THE THING YOU'RE WORKING ON.

I don't know if I could properly convey how much of my job in a creative field is spent going:
- "I hope this works."
- "Trust the process."
- "Will the end product be as good as it is in my head?"
This, followed by the joy when, after many scribbled out lines or misplaced notes, it works.

Yesterday, I learned about Dorothy Ashby, an African-American jazz musician from the 1950s-1980s.
Her instrument of choice? The HARP. In jazz music. And it sounds amazing.
Just listen to this. Seriously. This is my style right here.

One of the problems with adopting the metric system in North America is the number of syllables to say anything.
Imperial: inch, feet, yards, miles
Metric: centimeters, decimeters, meters, kilometers
I'm in Canada. We're supposed to be all metric, but most everyone says their height in feet/in.

The Bad Guys 2 is phenomenal. A very worthy follow-up to The Bad Guys, and contains at least one set piece that I've never seen before in a film (animated or otherwise). Clever, creative, funny, action-packed. Well worth seeing.

For the last couple of days, I was running into a major video quality issue with The Town that Cried Wolf. In short, the video was looking too compressed (full of jaggies and obvious blocks of color). Adobe Premiere couldn't handle it. Filmora couldn't either.
You know what worked? BLENDER.

You know, with all of the movies lately that have tried to capitalize on '80s and '90s nostalgia, you know what's been missing? Trailers that start with a deep voice saying "IN A WORLD..."
Bring back the narrated trailers! I know Don LaFontaine is gone, but surely someone could do it.

So, I gotta get this off my chest:
I really liked Clippy. It was relatively helpful with tips, and all of its little animations were the best.
(I encountered Clippy in Microsoft Word before ever being on the Internet, so I had no idea that I was supposed to despise it.)
