Let’s hope that’s not the Easter bunny… Happy Easter everyone! 🐰 I'm happy to share this making of movie of Julia Alena Schneider‘s (@/animatizzle) diploma film THE CURRENT which will be published soon. This clip is created by Julia, an amazing motion designer and animator, and it‘s packed with storyboards, character designs, inspiration found on Pinterest, early animation stages and of course a few sneak peaks on the film! I had the wonderful opportunity to be asked to work on this project by Julia a few years ago, and I'm looking forward to show you the full thing once it will be finally fully published! <3

THE CURRENT is a dystopian metaphorical portrayal of how a perfectionist can experience criticism on their artistic work. Can you relate? The amazing team behind THE CURRENT under the cut!

oh damn

so I know I'm not super-active on here anymore, but i hit 300K followers on here, and i'm feeling a little sentimental at 1:30 in the morning.

13 years ago, I started this tumblr out of sheer desperation. I was 21 years old and fresh out of college, I knew I wanted to be a voice actor, had no idea how that would ever be achievable, no one knew who I was. I decided to make this Tumblr to practice voice acting and I pledged to make an audio post every single day. I did this without fail for years.

I started out doing fandubs and comic dubs and reading shitposts, anything I could think of. My Lackadaisy dubs were the first thing that got real traction, I'll always be thankful to Tracy for reblogging those (and yes, it is insanely surreal to think that a decade later I would be voicing Mordecai in an animated version for real).

I improved exponentially by posting here every day. I was entirely self-taught, I've never taken a class, I just practiced every day (even when there were countless days I wanted to give up) and through sheer force of will, I started to improve.

Everything I have achieved in my life so far is because of this Tumblr. I truly could not have ever dreamed of being where I'm at now and what I have accomplished. So whether you know me from my old shitposts or comic dubs or Goofy posts or Vines or YouTube videos or my professional voice acting roles, I just want to say thank you for your support. It's been a crazy ride. Looking forward to what comes next.

the georgies barker will see a pathetic wet rag of a human being with no support system and the most opaquely mysterious and dangerous backstory and say "is anyone else gonna immediately provide this walking panic attack with bed and board out of their own personal resources" and not wait for a response

moment of unspeakable beauty today when one of my coworkers called another coworker "judas" for not splitting a can of white monster with her, and i got to watch the guy who sits next to me open a new google tab, type in "jeudis," and say quietly to himself "french thursday...?"

actually i’m going to keep trying

Do you like tarot cards (even if you don’t actually believe in them)?

[chromxena]

hey, did you know that the world is a better place because of your creations and art and writing, no matter how niche or how many people see it

[chromxena]

Honestly I can tell you finding out art was made by AI really does immediately, legitimately sour it for me, like people will trot this out as a Gotcha for anti-AI people but it's just making it clear they don't consider art to be the conversation that it is lol. It's similar to the way Harry Potter immediately soured for me because engaging with it while knowing the kind of heart Rowling is writing from changes the way the work feels; there isn't any moralizing or whatever that I have to do, it's easy to drop it because it's rotted in my hands.

"Oh but you LIKED this song before, nothing changed!" The conversational partner did. A very large portion of what is interesting to me about art is thinking of why the creator chose that instrumentation, or what made them want to make the thing in the first place. Finding out I've been talking to a wall completely removes an entire third of the force that art is to me, and I can't argue that anything about art or its consumption is Objectively Correct but I can argue it's fucking boring lmao
