I only just noticed that the princes in Stardust have their literal fucking name number embroidered into all of their clothes
Like look at this:
Primus
Secundus and Tertius with their little 2 and 3 stripe intervals
Septimus
The ghosts have it too
EVEN QUINTUS, WHO IS IN HIS PYJAMAS.
HE HAS TINY 5′s ALL OVER HIS NIGHTSHIRT.
FUCKING NERDS, THE LOT OF THEM
THAT IS SUCH A COOL LITTLE DESIGN NOTE THOUGH LIKE WOW I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!
HAHAHAHA
There’s a Making Of where Neil Gaiman is pointing out all the TINY details in the entire set, like little demonic cherubs in the witches’ mansion, and how no one will ever notice them, and he kept on apologizing to the set designers.
So I didn’t want to make an official announcement till it was paid for and in my driveway, but the owner accepted my offer and I’m picking it up tomorrow. I’m gonna have a van!
I have a TON of work ahead of me before I can start the paint job, but I needed a winter project anyway.
Part three of my SU mini fan comic. If you’ve read this far, it means you’re a saint and you’re invited to my wedding if it ever happens. I hope the beast kept you entertained and that it all made sense, cheers!
As WWII escalated, Lamarr was motivated to find a way to steer torpedoes by remote control using changing radio frequencies, which she called “frequency hopping,” so that the transmissions could not be jammed by enemies.
She donated her patent to the U.S. government, but the Navy rejected her designs, convinced the mechanisms would be too large to fit into a torpedo.
They responded with, “You should go raise money for the war. That’s what you should be doing instead of this silly inventing,” (which she did, raising war bonds by the millions). So she silently watched her invention become a reality under the credit of others and never made a dime from it.
Over 50 years after her original patent, Hedy did FINALLY get some acknowledgment – even a few awards – but she didn’t show up to accept them. By then, botched plastic surgery made her very reclusive. She died alone in Florida at the age of 86. Her obituaries began with her beauty and made only brief references to the invention she had hoped would prove her mind was beautiful, too.
Today, frequency hopping is used with the wireless phones that we have in our homes, GPS, and most military communication systems.
watch his hair blatantly intersect with the lockers
my college animation professor worked on jimmy neutron and he was just like “listen yeah we knew and we just didn’t have the time or money to care”. the power would go out at the studio at least once a week and they would just have to leave until it came on the next day. jimmy neutron’s production team saw some shit
i’m looking at this story and this gif and now i’m just constantly imagining an animator staring vacantly at their computer. they turn to a coworker and ask “do you think nickelodeon would notice or care if we just animated a whole episode where everyone stayed in a t-model the whole way”
“i’m so tired,” they add
Between my boyfriend and I, I cannot tell you all the shit I’ve seen while working in 3D animation. Such shit. Horrors beyond horror.
So many all nighters, So many server crashes. Tech people who leave work early to avoid having to fix said server crashes. Massive loss of data. Programs that crash for absolutely no reason. Impossible client requests. Impossible clients. Having to do not only your own job, but the jobs of your incompetent co-workers. Working from home just to meet a deadline and not making overtime. Killing yourself to make a deadline just to discover the following morning that the deadline has been pushed back and now you’re ahead of schedule. Not getting paid in a timely manner. Or at all.
Let me tell you, there are two very important things you absolutely must have in a commercial animation studio that you rarely get: a) Working, up to date technology and b) A leader with time management skills
Bless everyone who works in 3D animation, whether they enjoy their jobs or not. Bless them all.
