With my new feature film, trying to figure out how to do this properly. My last feature was made for about $135 000 but that really only covers post vo, sound, & music (with most still working at super low pay). I wasn’t paid either & had to self fund. Trying to get proper funding now.

Id love to see more folks who cover Indie Animation have a chat with creators like Denver Jackson.

I checked out THE WORLDS DIVIDE AND I think alot can be learned from this incredibly impressive project.

I like this story a bunch and Im really interested in the filmmaking behind it!

I finally found time to watch @djaxx.bsky.social’s THE WORLDS DIVIDE and when it finds its stride, it doesn’t let go!

It’s got alot of slick visuals, a clever setup and a really intriguing message. Denver built alot of this amazing project on his own so go support him when you can! πŸ”₯

I saw it a couple days ago.

Super incredible for what it is! Fascinating twist ending too. Mad respect for what you brought into the world.

Great stuff!

Today is the LAST DAY to purchase (pay-what-you-can) tickets to watch Worlds Divide during its limited run β€” grab them today and you’ll have 5 days to listen to me voice [REDACTED]’s [REDACTED], my first named feature-length AND animation character!! πŸ’₯

Watch here: watch.eventive.org/wd/play/68b1...

Today is the last day to buy tickets! If you buy a ticket today, you’ll still have 5 days to watch the film!

I only had enough savings to survive for 2 yrs without an income so it was a crazy mad rush from beginning to end to make this film. No time to second guess or think.

Ticket sales end tomorrow but if you buy a ticket, you’ll have it for 5 days then it’s gone!

The Worlds Divide | The Worlds Divide Young Natomi is suddenly transported from a post-apocalyptic world to the magical world of Esluna, abundant with vegetation. Here she must take her place as the rightful ruler by facing the evil Queen...

Only a few days left to catch this brilliant animated film made mostly by one guy over the course of 2 years. It's PWYC so no reason not to go check it out before it's gone.

I am SO glad I watched The First Monolith before watching The Worlds Divide. What an absolutely stellar duology with a mystery that was SO fun to put together piece by piece.

You got a couple more days to support @djaxx.bsky.social's Esluna project, so please do yourself a favor and do it!

Here are some bg paintings I did for the worlds divide. The camera moves down these backgrounds which is why they’re so tall. You can watch the film here for a limited time only:

5am post (my time), yes I'm still awake

I watched The indie animated movie The Worlds Divide and it was pretty good

I've also decided I'm gonna participate in this thing called Animatictober someone over on Instagram made.
Maybe if I make a nice looking animatic I won't be a nobody artist anymore

The Worlds Divide showcase the unlimited potential of true independent animated movies. Despite its micro-budget which explains the slightly lower quality animation, this movie is very immersive and imaginative worth seeing for!

Everyone go watch this movie online and then read my review. Or read my review and watch the movie. Whatever order, just make sure you watch if and when you can.

More background paintings for the Worlds Divide. Some different times of day for each. I animated 1881 shots for the film but because of some bg re-use, I don’t actually know the number of bgs I painted. Was a lot tho… link to film below

Fun Fact: prior to making the film, I was in talks to shop it around. The process to just get a greenlight to development would take yrs. Even then, to get another greenlight for pre then production, it’d be over 10 yrs with no guarantee it would ever get made. So I just made it.

Watching The Worlds Divide, an animated film made by a single person. Very cool!

One week left to stream!

With the adventure and warmth of Miyazaki, the mechanical flourishes of Oshii, and the ingenuity of Shinkai, @djaxx.bsky.social has created something wholly original in Worlds Divide. Highly recommended before it leaves streaming.
