I’m currently putting together a 2D animated music video for a DDR song. It’s exciting to slowly see it come to life.

‘Doug’ creator Jim Jinkins explains the meaning behind the characters’ different skin colors: “I wanted all skin colors to be beautiful. The Doug universe is a parallel world where it doesn’t matter what color you are—it’s who you are on the inside that matters.”

So hyped for this!
Directors Joel Crawford & Januel Mercado hope ‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’ can help remove the stigma that animated films are only for kids. “It’s accessible for everybody but there’s a sophistication & an edgier feel to it that I think soon we could have mainstream PG-13 animated films.”

Jfc the reactions to this, today I learned that so-called film snobs apparently both know nothing about and deeply hate story artists lol what the fuck
There is still no Academy Award recognition for Storyboarding.
