Verdant's Secret Base

Oh look, you've found my "secret" base. The only reason it's a secret is because not many people know of its existence. Regardless, feel free to ask and talk to me. I'll answer any of your inquiries.

Whenever I think about the Twilight movies my mind instantly goes to the scene where Bella first steps out of her father's car holding a tiny cactus. And then I remember the parody movie they made of Twlight where the main girl steps out the car with a gigantic cactus.

Exercises for all the homies who want to have a long career drawing.

The true problem with being an artist and drawing all day (as I wanted my whole life) is that human backs are not designed to hold that position, so it is very common for artists and designers to have really stiff shoulder blades, creating a chain of muscle strain towards the arm AND the back… and a lot of pain.

These are some physical exercises for artists and honestly anyone who works at a desk.

I appreciate that they actually got Robert Reich to participate (although I imagine he was easy to persuade as his whole shtick is this kind of thing)

a couple snippets from a presentation i gave at school this past week on storyboarding!!

‼️DISCLAIMER: I am still a student and have only worked on student and indie projects! This is just stuff that I personally find helpful as an amateur, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt!

Happy boarding, friends! ✍️💕

These are such great tips! My storyboarder friend and I were just talking about this the other day, so I'd like to add a bonus tip to that last one, from the perspective of someone who works later in the pipeline:

If you're going to raise or lower the camera, try to save high angles (looking down at the characters) for when there's less leg movement or a shorter shot, and use low angles (looking up at the characters) when there's a lot of leg movement so you can make use of foreground elements.

You can do this in a way that adds a cinematic feel and scale to your boards, while also saving your animators some legwork (literally). A show that absolutely nails this is Legend of Vox Machina. They drop the camera a lot or add raised elements in the foreground when lots of characters are running toward camera, or doing difficult fight choreo, etc. Here are some examples of low cameras + raised foregrounds:

This one is actually a very slightly high camera, but the foreground is used in a really clever way so none of that pesky walking-on-uneven-ground needs to be animated:

The entirety of s2ep9 is a masterclass in this; there are so many running crowd shots but it's boarded really brilliantly and keeps things feeling really impactful, but they're not wasting animator time on a bunch of weird-angle feet:

None of these feel like a "cheat"; they all really add to the depth and even the mood of the shots! But they also make things a bit easier for animation. Absolutely applause worthy stuff.

>password sharing is estimated to cost them several billion dollars

KEEP SHARING THEM PASSWORDS

[boggblog]

Password sharing actually doesnt cost them anything, every time u share a password they dont have to pay u for that. Its free. They just use that language bc they say that not having everyone buy into their service is a loss of a customer they /never even had/ and are pretending they would have made money from those non customers

[sadphonics]

They aren't losing money, they're just mad they aren't making more money. Absolutely share passwords with friends and people you trust.
