When I was a kid, sometimes on PBS between the afternoon programs they’d play a short video on how the stop motion Wind in the Willows was made. That.

I love this aesthetic, it kind of reminds me of this page from the Klutz Book of Classic Board Games

This one was my aunt's, as a kid I played with it so much during visits that when I landed the job at LucasArts she sent it to me as congratulations

This is so fucked. The plan was pushed *hard* by the Biden administration and those who signed up for it have been completely hung out to dry.

In 2007, I borrowed $100k to go to graduate school. In the time between graduating and the covid loan pause in 2020, I paid back $95k -- but thanks to compound interest, I currently owe $214k.

…I had to consolidate all my loans in order to enroll for this plan, which capitalized the $80k interest that had already accrued into principle. Hooray compound interest!

Welp today marks a full year without any VFX work. Do US-based studios just not need in-house tracking/matchmove artists anymore?

Maybe, but this is really an industry wide development. It’s employment for vfx artists though, I’m not knocking it.

β€œBeauty work” is the official term, so blurred out wrinkles, touched up bags under the eyes, erased hairs sticking out, often slimmed the actors’ face etc
