A long time ago, when I was a fledgling animation major frustrated and angry with how all the big animation studios in my country had ditched drawn animation for CGI, I came across a crowdfund campaign for a series of steampunk-themed animated shorts, drawn by hand and directed by former Disney animator James Lopez. Desperate to help show that there was still a market for what I saw as a beautiful and expressive medium unfairly kneecapped by the very companies who depended on it to rise to the top, I threw some money at the project and hoped that Lopez and his team would someday see it to fruition.

A lot has gone by in, what, a decade? But now, coinciding with a new wave of indie animation online, the first of the Hullabaloo series has finally arrived.

I look forward to seeing the rest soon, as they are released.

#James Lopez #Hullabaloo #2D animation #Veronica Daring #Jules #was hoping for some more story but perhaps that will come later. I can be patient. I've waited THIS long #it does feel more like a trailer than an actual short film

Guys i gotta be real... idk why every artist complains about hands so much I love drawing hands. Even when I was starting out and just complete shit at drawing them I always found it fun.

#i used to spend so much time just staring at my own hands and drawing them #i know ive got at LEAST 1 spread of my own hands in every single one of my sketchbooks #i wanna make like some artsy fartsy experimental animation short film about my hands one day #i have a vision in my head about iy #hands are the subject but i think its more about anxiety tbh 🤔

A tiny Frazer Hines pops up as an unnamed bellhop in Overseas Press Club - Exclusive!: The Littlest Sergeant (1.10, ABPC, 1957)

#fave spotting #frazer hines #jamie mccrimmon #doctor who #overseas press club exclusive!#1957 #the littlest sergeant #classic doctor who #a teeny tiny frazer!#only one decent (and not that decent) pic here #but the others included to emphasise just how teeny he is #this was far from his debut; he'd only been acting for two years at this point but had racked up more than a dozen credits #including some feature film appearances. alas he isn't the title Littlest Sergeant here‚ that honour goes to another child actor #david hannaford‚ who'd been even busier than Frazer in his short career (this was actually one of his final roles‚ he apparently retired #shortly after this ep was made). Frazer only gets two brief scenes bringing in telegrams to Alan Gifford's harried newspaperman #and is there really only to set up a final joke where Gifford throws him forcibly from the room (!)#poor little frazer already doing his own stunts

While there are things to criticise mash for and those conversations are important to have some of what I read can be explained very easily by reminding yourself

It was a TV show

On a budget

From years ago

From America

Written by a variety of human writers

Who used characters and plots to tell stories

Within a certain number of minutes

#mash #m*a*s*h #this isn't about anything specific #and there is also worth in taking and analysing mash as a whole #but sometimes you have to step back and remind yourself its a tv show #not in the 'its not real' way but in the 'it works like a tv show' way #I think the only specific thing I could use as an example rn is the criticisms I've seen of them not changing locations more often #and yeah the m is for mobile but do you know how insanely expensive it would be to film more bug out scenes?#and how insanely boring they would be to watch all the time #And when it comes to the tonal shift and its effect on the message that is a very good conversation to have with important criticisms #but I also saw some criticisms mostly in articles and books you know that boiled down #to why isn't this later episode exactly like an earlier episode :/ and I was like uhm because they already wrote that episode?#long story short: NUANCE #note: this post has been in my drafts for a while and I just wanted to free it

no time like the present relating to the Oscars, from What’s Cookin’, Doc! Bob McKimson animates most of this, with Rod Scribner doing some of Bugs’ gesticulations before switching back to Bob with the scream. Bugs leaning against the confines of the screen on is a great touch

#i posted some of them on my Twitter but having seen cels storyboards BGs etc for this short in person was insane #Clampett in a thank you letter endearingly labels it ‘the finest cartoon we have yet made’ which is…… hilarious considering half of it is #cheater footage from live action films or just a full on segment from Hiawatha’s Rabbit Hunt #but it’s sweet nonetheless and while i had no major feelings about this short before getting to be more intimate with surviving aspects of #its production really makes me appreciate it so much more #lt #what’s cookin’ doc #clampett #vid

I’ve heard people say like “Watcher expected their parasocial fans to just happily pay the fee” but if anything I think the opposite. I feel like the whole subscription thing was them thinking “of course our fans will be happy to pay more for the expensive shit we want to do, because we have vision, because we are artístés” and they were actually surprised when everyone was like uh dude your film degree means nothing to me. I think Watcher was under the impression their fan base was about the art, not the artist. Which is so funny because this is a ghost hunting show. It’s like a grocery store romance novelist being confused that people want to see romance scenes and missed her subtle nod to the deleted scenes in Citizen Kane.

i think this very firmly hits one of the main points on the head. i do think that they severely misinterpreted what their audience prioritizes (high production quality > personality and comfort). i think a lot of their staunch supporters throughout this also fell into this trap a little bit. i saw a lot of "it's their channel, they can make what they want and don't have to listen to the demands of their audience" which is again, technically true, but that doesn't make them entitled to an audience.

if anything, i feel like this debacle just highlighted the honestly astounding amount of people who have continued to support them despite not even having a strong interest in their content since the move to watcher. and maybe that's not what they wanted to hear, but there are a lot of people who would love to have their audience's love and dedication

#again im still going to watch their stuff since it will remain free on youtube #but even i didn't watch everything watcher produces #there are some series that i haven't watched a single episode of #i think their simpler endeavors tend to be some of my favorites #i think that if they really want to make some bigger more expensive productions they might be better off doing something like that #on a less frequent basis #like short films or something #that could be interesting #answered

mob psycho(logical horror) 100

#Chatterbomb #There are some terrifying concepts in there they should be stretched more #That comic reminded me of junji itos The Long Dream #I’ll have to do a rewatch and write some stuff down #The mental prison stuff? Terrifying 10/10 #Shigeo in fabricated world for six months is terrifying but I feel like being trapped in a static environment that only gets longer even #Though real world time has barely passed and you are all alone and you can’t escape and you can’t change the environment besides clawing at #The walls #day and night don’t pass with the sun and moon but your body is aging anyway #Nothing changes and you are running out of resources.#How long until you accept no one will come and save you? How much are you willing to starve while waiting for someone who left?#What if the world that trapped you won’t let you die? Starving for centuries without a sign of life #Thinking at some point you must have escaped. Or was it a dream within a dream? Can that happen? How many times have you fallen asleep?#How many dreams deep are you already in?#WHAT IF HE STARTED ROTTING #what if he was living in his own dead body!!!!! Would that be fucked up or what!!!!!#Something about reigen sparks a desire to see him experience pain disconnected with reality #The dreams in train hell are only getting longer. None of them are peaceful. He can’t tell if his hair is greying from aging or how much th #Dreams take a toll on him. How much time has really passed? Can he even rely on how his body is changing? Is it truly time who is #Responsible? Or is it him? Or the train itself?#What if all they found of him was a dryed up body with a beating heart and pulsating brain. Laying limp and clothing scattered #If I really indulge myself the scratched out days. When looked at from farther away. Still marking the potential days reads #Abandon all hope #ye who enter here #Which yeah that’s stretching into being ridiculous but it would be cool TO ME #Dante’s inferno you are so silly and special to me #I got really autistic here but <3 big fan of horror huge fan of suffering <333 #ALSO!! taking inspiration from “heck” short film but the days might be counted by “sleeps” as time cannot accurately be measured in a place #That defies universal law #Ok I think I’m done now ok I’m normal probably

i bet white london vine/tik tok would be absolutely insane

#obviously red lonson would be wild with all the magic stuff #but there would be so much more of a hierarchy and influencer-type stuff #because a lot of people would be reaching for that higher status and showing off #theres more of an emphasis on staus in red #whereas in white people would just go wild with it tbh #some of it would be horrors beyond our comprehension for sure #but most people there would just be normal albeit desperate and traumatised people #the comedy would be incomprehensible and bizarre #if holland had one his only content would be short videos of every single animal he comes across #or maybe also videos of the danes in the same vibe as that one vine of the guy filming with the other guy doing the “bop it twist it” song #hing in the background #just him blank faced while athos is doing some stupid shit in the background and astrid is not giving a shit #i hope anyone reading this know what vine i mean because idk how else to describe it lmao #i have not had enough sleep #i love holland so much i want to cry #give that man an instagram lets see what he posts #probably some pictures of plants #and the neighbourhood cat #adsom #shades of magic #adsom memes #holland vosijk #white london #astrid dane #athos dane

hm the diversity everybody seems to be ok with (all white cast and a token) is what forced diversity actually is, not when the best person for a lead role just so happens to not be white/mostly not white cast but we all know what people mean by "forced diversity" so I'm not gonna lament too much anymore

#i was looked for gifs of a specific short film only find some reactionary racist shit abt the little mermaid remake #like i did at one point start to think maybe they did cast halle so there would be more buzz but shes actually genuinely #the best for the role #i always knew she was!!! and if anything disney doesn't need diversity points to make money they will make it regardless #if you want to say something like 'ariel being black makes the story so much worse' then actually..... talk about it don't just say that #because you wish a white girl was playing ariel 😂 ofc its white people saying this so they could never actually #delve into it. like we can 100% talk abt how alot of the dynamics have changed in the live action movie because of the race #of characters but if you do not know what language to use or you're just using it to hide being racist idgaf abt what you have to say lmfao #im only say this because the person was convinced halle was cast as ariel because disney wants diverity points and not because #she was the best for the rolw #its never they were the best for the role when actor isnt white is it?

also fun fact. you can effectively punch holes in plastic glow in the dark stars using a push pin and a rock and just pressing it really hard into your carpet or something so it doesn’t damage anything once it penetrates the plastic. in case you ever needed to know that
