Sorry for the radio silence (again) managing social media while producing an animated short is harder than expected 😅 Here's some more rough animation to keep you invested! Sneak peeks at completed shots coming soon

Yes, this. A stunning number of people will default to "because it's illegal." Teaching an intro-level bioethics course will demonstrate real fucking fast that a lot of the population just lets legality stand in for morality.

This is how any corporation functions. First, increasing profits is done by attracting more customers. Then, once they have all the customers they're going to get, increasing profits is done by increasing prices or cutting costs.

Here's a compilation of all the rough animation we've finished so far!

Food for thought

[esoanem]

Yeah, this sort of stuff serves several purposes, including:

Confuse the masses as to what the actual law is

Get people to obey in advance

Demoralise the opposition

Signal intention to supporters

^^ I was thinking, like, "surely we all remember this from last time," but then I thought about it again, and realized that there are people who voted this year, who wouldn't even have been in their teens during the previous Trump rodeo.

So yeah, if you weren't following it last time, there will be a lot of Executive Orders that get walked back, struck down, or, once subjected to even mildly rigorous legal interpretation, turn out to have little or no effect.

When you see that Trump has signed an EO about something that seems drastic and scary, take a breath and wait a few hours, then see what the experts are saying about it.

What a lovely village! I sure hope nothing bad happe- ....oh no

“tik tok is brainrot I’m glad it’s getting deleted” YOU are ignoring an early warning sign of fascism bc silly dances and asmr annoys u. tik tok ban is a part of a MUCH bigger bill that indicates any foreign app, if deemed a threat, can be banned if the owner does not sell it. aka the government is mad bc they cannot censor & their capitalist puppet masters are mad they aren’t making money from it. and if ur ok w that……hm

[assiraphales]

give it a lil read thru if u want to and then try and tell me it’s just about tik tok

[wizard-email]

Also even if it WAS just TikTok that’s still years of cultural context being erased. Also importantly a vast majority of Palestinian fundraisers and news operate through TikTok! Losing access to an American audience is going to be devastating for them

Small update: We are changing our title!

This project will now be going by Infinity's Peak! Elements has been a placeholder for quite a while, we think this new title is quite the improvement. What do you think?

[elements-project-24]

Hello everyone! We've been quiet for a while, but that's because we've been super busy! We can now share with you the first actual animation in our *animated* short! This shot is still very much a work in progress

[willgrahamscock]

the level of censorship around this man is ridiculous, what happened to free speech? It’s just his name.

[willgrahamscock]

calling her a “copy cat” when she didn’t do anything other than repeat 3 words is insane. her bail is set at 100,000.

[willgrahamscock]

as of now she’s facing 15 years in jail for ‘threatening’ the ceo of the insurance company that denied her claim. and isn’t that ironic? since women always get told that ‘threats don’t mean anything unless there’s action’ when it comes to reporting stalkers, ex and present partners who threaten abuse. but now a threat warrants this disproportionate action?

Florida woman faces up to 15 years for saying ‘deny, defend, depose’ to insurance company

The woman's bail was set at $100,000 at a Dec. 12 court appearance.

Since we keep getting "live action" CGI remakes of already perfectly adequate animated movies, and because people need to understand that animation is a medium and not a genre, I have prepared this primer about the importance of Visual Language for Conveying Information.

Can you tell what the personalities of these two mice are?

Can you tell now?

Which of these two tigers feels safer to be around?

Which of these three dogs is the funniest one?

If you can answer these questions, then you already have experience with the idea of visual language and stylistic choices being used to impart narrative meaning. If you can understand why these choices were made to impart meaning, then you can understand why animation is a medium for telling stories that has its own inherent value, and is not merely a "placeholder" for the eventual implementation of photorealistic presentation (aka "Live Action" CGI). Animation does not need to be "corrected" or "legitimized" by remaking it into the most representational simulation of observable reality.
