Anyone have a copy of After Effects 24.1 installed? I have an old client project in glitch conversion jail

I gave myself the challenge of making a 5-7 animated pilot by the end of the month, so naturally it came out to be over 8.

Software licensing used to be so much simpler when it was about cracking a ripped copy I found on Limewire

There was bit of criticism I got back about my film that I swore I wouldn’t let bother me and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

Mograph was my way in, so Cinema 4D is my main workflow, but I'm working a gig right now that requires me to animate in Maya and I'm digging it.

3D animation is so addicting. I need to properly learn Blender because my normal program is too expensive for a hobbyist

Casting is 20% finding the most talented person for the role, and 80% about who's available when I have weird ideas.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

I had a working copy of Freehand as late as 2012, holding my laptop back several years of updates. How long were you adrift?

Look animation is the bane of modern financialization. Its slow, expensive, and requires specialized knowledge. Its also always popular. They can’t help but try to destroy it along the way. But it never dies.
