Outstanding!
Prepare to enter a mythical world where magic is real and a princess will become a warrior. Maya and The Three — a Netflix Animated Event, from the visionary director of The Book of Life — premieres this fall.
I'm honored to be on life's journey with you, brother.
When @keyframedave and I get together, a sense of calm and cows are bound to happen.

Any recommendations for an HDMI KVM switch that supports a dual monitor set-up, where one monitor is a 4k Cintiq and the other an older 1080p display?

Hey fellow animators... you're all following @MelindaOzel, right? Why am I even asking? Of course you are! ☺
Visual phonemes don’t always look the same. Don’t rely on just one reference per sound. Diversify for different contexts -like mood & surrounding sounds. Screenshotted comparison shots of myself talking after noticing how exaggerated the bilabial bounce was for “p”💥 #facetheFACS

More fascinating reference from @wonderofscience. The speed of the lip & tongue movements in particular caught my attention. #lip-sync #animation #animtip

Very cool reference. #animation #animtip
Cats have a precise method of walking called direct registering. Their hind paws fall inside the place of their forepaws, minimizing noise and visible tracks, while ensuring more stable footing.

Hey folks. Dan is a top-notch animator with a great deal of experience. If you're hiring or know of someone who is, especially for remote animation work, please reach out to him.
The studio I work for just laid off everyone. Given I’m building a house (which is now in jeopardy), I’m looking for Utah or remote positions. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Animator with 12yrs in game development. Thank you.
On my way to work this morning in Sparks Maryland, I felt the unmistakable presence of @simonstalenhag.
Outstanding!
DANCEY....... another animation assignment from 2 weeks ago !!

And here it is! Pre-orders now available for Game Anim: Video Game Animation Explained, with the release in early February. Get up to speed on nearly two decades on the cutting edge of game animation for less than the price of a AAA game. RTs appreciated. gameanim.com/book/
