Going through old posts and finding this gif reminded me of just how good the animation in the Tangled cartoon was.

Was incredibly lucky to get to storyboard for one of my fav games, Cult of the Lamb. Thank you to Half Giant and Massive Monster for the amazing opportunity!

On a more positive note as a fan of regular half life the hl2vrai trailer is so pretty and feels like a hl2 trailer for me

besides the obvious memes like Alyx smoking or The Giant Truck and chuck e cheese it is so fucking impressive and gets my half life brain rolling

The transition with the strider leg infront of the chuck e cheese was SO cool. hell taking the classic chuck e cheese map and making it destroyed with the citadel in the background. ive never seen a shot with a strider leg that close to camera. im sure someone else has done it but its So fucking cool

One thing they KNOCK OUT OF THE PARK is the lighting in the cinematic shots. oh my god

Breen sitting at his desk in that pose with the atmospheric lighting and the Breen statue bust (the sfm eyes always look a bit odd and super bright but what can you do)

Kliener/Bubby(?) in the dark with just the screen illuminating him

The shot of the combine in the foreground and the two others searching civilians in the bg

The guy in his bar wiping the glass illuminating out of the ground

RAVENHOLM OH MY GOD RAVENHOLM IS SO WELL LIT. I am interested in what the giant green jelly bean thing is.

and the MOVEMENT of the characters too. The guy stumbling when the headcrab shell lands. Alyx leaning against the wall. The guy getting beat by the circle of combine. I know its supposed to be haha funny thats way too many combine for one guy but the close up shot of him is SO impressive. and they edited his texture to have scarring and bruises and a missing tooth!! they did the effort!! THE TWO GMEN. UGH SO GOOD THE MOVEMENT AND LIGHTING. I mean even the giant truck!! the way it moves and the way the camera moves and the way the smoke moves and the way the seagull reacts its all so fluid

The over the shoulder shot of coomer on the train. in this lighting. with this music. The HL1 model looks SO correct. it doesnt look out of place at all. it looks NATURALLY out of place. he is not supposed to be here. but the lighting works so well on him.

This is half life 2 trailer quality for a jokey web show im so impressed

Does it ever feel pressuring (no pun intended) to work on a show with such a legacy and history as SpongeBob?

VERY much so, but in a good way, if such a thing exists! one of our mantras on our little storyboard plussing team is “pressure makes diamonds” and it is a very applicable saying

when i first started, i was TEEEEERRRIFIED! i really felt like i had no idea what i was doing, and there have been so many times where i’ve turned in a section and genuinely thought “oh my god they’re gonna fire me for this it’s so bad.” working in animation is frazzling enough! but not only are we working on a cultural mecca, with not only the kids of today to entertain, impress and inspire, but to maintain the integrity of the series and entertain/impress/inspire the kids like us who grew up with the show, we are also working with literal animation legends and animation veterans!! it’s pretty surreal to be working on the same show as someone like Bob Camp, who’s been in the industry for 40+ years… and even more surreal when he says he’s a big fan of your work 😵‍💫‼️‼️‼️‼️

THANKFULLY, i’ve made a lot of strides in curbing some of my storyboarding stage fright. it used to be really bad when i started, like genuinely panic attack inducing! the constant patience and guidance and encouragement of my peers and consistent practice from these past three years have really allowed me to grow and blossom. now, when i feel a bit claustrophobic in remembering the pure scale of what we’re doing, i weaponize it for good!!

i think of how inspired and amazed and obsessed with SpongeBob i was as a kid. how it inspired me to draw, how i remember drawing along to episodes and commercial breaks. my brother and his wife are both elementary school teachers and routinely update me about how their kids are still crazy for SB (and they both brag about me to their kids heheh). i think of all the kids watching, all the kids realizing that getting to draw these characters and interact with them and live in their world is something you indeed can do, all the kids who religiously catch each new episode like i once did… it just fills me with so much confidence and hope and love, and that motivates me to deliver and do my best and try to do what i can to help make each episode be better and more fun than the last

SpongeBob is for everyone, obviously! that’s one of the great things i love about working on it: i get just as much enjoyment watching our finished episodes as our target audience. but i do bring up the kids particularly often because, at the end of the day, that is who we are doing it for and i also just can’t help but think back to how my SpongeBob obsessed self as a kid would have had her world rocked to know i’m doing what i’m doing. i want to give those kids, who i used to be and still essentially am, the same joy and spark and all consuming inspiration i felt and still do

there are definitely some days where the gravity of what we’re doing hits harder than others! some days are a lot more difficult than others. this is an absolute dream job, i’m not just saying that, i always fantasized about maybe one day being able to work my way up to working on SpongeBob and now it’s my first animation job—but it is very easy to get overwhelmed by just how big of a legacy we’re carrying on our shoulders! how many other mega talented people work on this show! there’s a lot to juggle. but we juggle it well. there is so much love and heart and care poured into this show. we do everything we can to maintain the integrity of the characters and the show’s core, and it just makes me love what i do all the more and makes me more determined to do it

TLDR: YES! but i’m much better off for it, because it reminds me of why we’re working so hard to begin with. we all want this show to be the best it can—to maintain its core 25 years later, but still have fun doing it. i mentioned this on Twitter, but when i met Bill Fagerbakke last month he was saying how cool it is that fans who grew up with the show are now able to work on it and i couldn’t agree more. it’s the greatest honor imaginable being able to carry such a monumental torch, and i hope i’m able to keep at it for a long, long time.

A little late, but nonetheless.

Five years ago, on June 11th 2019, I launched the Sunbow Marvel Archive website as a "digital library" for animation paperwork.

Thank you to all those who have contributed material and lent their support.

Okay but what if:

Season 5, the finale episode, just before Nya kills the preeminent

[camera pans over the ferry to reveal the ginormous preeminent]

[shot of the inside of the captain’s cabin, Ronin pushes open the door]

Ronin: Nya! The boys need you!

[shot of Nya back as she is steering the ferry, Ronin is speaking offscreen]

Ronin: let me steer, they need the water ninja-

[nya turns around, with almost tears in her eyes, as she yells]

Nya: I’m not a ninja!

[shot from the front of Nya who has returned to facing frontwards, focused on her clenched hand, her eyes are just out of shot. Ronin is in the background]

Nya: my powers won’t be strong enough to stop that thing. I’m not strong enough.

[ronin scratches his head]

Ronin: I dunno what to tell ya

Ronin: You’re the one in the green gi, which means that right now, you’re the green ninja. And what’s the green ninja’s motto?

[nya rubs her eyes. To clarify, she is still wearing Lloyd’s clothes]

Nya: …ninja never quit

Ronin: exactly. Look I saw you kick those ghosts where it hurts and it looked like you were having fun

[ronin extends his hand towards Nya, with a confident smirk]

Ronin: so tell ya what, if I’m right about you kicking that monster’s butt out there, then you owe me your shares of the tea shop as well. And if I’m wrong then you can inherit all my junk when I kick the bucket. Deal?

[nya pauses, before grinning and shaking Robin’s hand]

Nya: you really are a scoundrel

Ronin: if you’re a ninja then I have to scam ya like the others too

DnD is so insane because you can play a game for like 10 hours total and know already that it is going to consume your every waking thought for the next three (plus) years

I really didn't think I would like this anime this fast since it didn't really look like my kind of romance. HOWEVER episode one has already got me kicking and screaming on the floor I cannot handle this hfhdhshsh
