How Hayao Miyazaki storyboarded the car chase in The Castle of Cagliostro (1979), dir. Hayao Miyazaki, Tokyo Movie Shinsha

Happy birthday, David! :D

yeah there's some regrets on my end for sure. lots i would've done differently.

but i'm not haunted by these thoughts! i'm just thinking of positive ways to improve going forward.

i hope you hang in there too and industry things improve. god knows its past time for that.

so, while the industry remains a barren wasteland devoid of hope and life... i'm gonna try to love who i am as an artist again.

i used to think i was always burnt out. my depression was too much. my adhd too distracting.

and while those were valid concerns i think if i could just stick to my guns and not over analyze everything i would have just enjoyed things more and not been so scared to move my pencil "badly"

had i believed in myself more i feel like i would've broken into the industry faster and would have been a much better artist at this point in time.

in the months since i've been out of animation work i've been doing a lot of thinking about my career. what went wrong and when work picks back up what i'd do different.

honest to god my biggest issues were never really promoting myself and not being confident in making my own things.

huh.

i forgot i like that whole Drawing thing.

the apps emit an evil aura. i dont think theyre supposed to be used by humans.

its so great for evil twinks to get representation again (lex luthor)

LMAO

the animation REALLY stepped up in Wano, huh?

Update thread #2. Hemlock
One thing we worked on is a different tool to complement Nightshade. We discovered a new attack on diffusion models that is more generalizable than Nightshade. It targets an entirely different part of AI training pipeline, basically making AI models poison themselves.

He's kind of like a grumpy cat thats secretely affectionate when it thinks no one is looking and hes also dumb.

Traffy is a miserable son of a bitch but he is also a moron and i love him for that.

Being undercover in Wano, mask and all, but he wears a kimono with his crew's jolly roger stamped all over it lmao

They animated Romance Dawn? Thats so cool 😭❤️

Hey there!

I'm very interested in the storyboard position!

I have 5 years of industry experience. Most recently I was at Powerhouse Animation and storyboarded on Tomb Raider and Skull Island. I love working in action and drama.

wrote way too much about the unreleased Disney documentary The Sweatbox letterboxd.com/yaboyaaron/f...

Its so cool how they showed the artstyle change going into Wano, with the water changing first.

I just finished Whole Cake Island. Katakuri and Big Mom might be my favorite OP antagonists so far. Then there's Pudding... who is one of my least favorites lmao.

thats so true

i want to smoke because it is cool. it not killing me would be pretty cool too.

idk how to make it work

im just the idea guy

imagine being able to crush a few cans of watermelon redbull and not worry about a future heart attack?

they should invent a watermelon redbull that doesnt slowly degrade your health
