I just went visit my grandparents who live by the sea in a little town where there is literally nothing to do but walk on the seashore or play card with over-70 elderly who know way too many niche rules to win anyway and I managed to write more in 3 days than I have in the last 6 months

"i'm going to sit down in bed and write" i said, closed my computer, went to sit in bed and opened tumblr on my phone

tomorrow:

I’ve like legit been writing all day lmao

i found a video explaining how to use the different calendar options in google calendar to create like different topics for your schedule/different types of tasks and im obsessed

I think one of my favorite parts of sky is the planning. I never realised how much I enjoy like, pulling up different tabs, finding the relevant data, bringing it to one place, comparing that information.

Going out, collecting new different data, bringing it and comparing it to the old data, making conclusions from that.

Taking the new relevant information, figuring out costs, looking at calenders and dates, pulling out my calculator, crunching numbers to figure out the exact numbers I need.

This shit is fun, and now I'm not stressed or panicking when the event happens!!

I love Tumblr because nothing matters here truly. There are no influencers. Having followers doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a site where people post their sporadic thoughts and rb pretty pictures. Anyone who thinks any of this matters is woefully missing the point

cleaning out & redecorating room ^_^

my only wips left are subby toji & plug eren YAYYY!!!

hi!!!! there been news articles saying that the working conditions of spiderverse were rlly rlly bad to the point of 100 ppl quitting or someting…. sorry to be liek an annoying reporter and b kinda invasive but is this tru D:

the big article that came out, for anyone curious: https://www.vulture.com/2023/06/spider-verse-animation-four-artists-on-making-the-sequel.html

there are some aspects about the article that i don't feel comfortable commenting on, but yes a lot of animators did quit. a lot of it had to do with the issues mentioned in the article, but a lot also left because disney opened a studio in vancouver (where sony imageworks is located) and had to hire an entire crew. i don't blame people for leaving spiderverse to get in on being a part of establishing the disney vancouver studio

i will also say that some of the information going around is incorrect; we did not work 11 hours a day, 7 days a week for over a year. working 7 days a week is illegal, and though some people worked sundays, they were clearly told that they could not work the next saturday if they worked a sunday. we encouraged people to not work ghost hours, and OT was always optional (except for saturday work towards the end, but nobody was punished or anything if they couldn't work a saturday). we also get paid for OT. i was on the movie for over a year but we certainly weren't crunching that whole time. like the article said, we were idle for a long time

it was undeniably a hard movie to work on and with such a large crew, everyone had a wide variety of experiences. the anonymous animators in the article aren't wrong, but i will say that there are people that felt differently, or not as strongly as them. it's a complicated issue that doesn't have a simple solution

i just hope this doesn't tarnish your view of the movie. we worked hard on it and everyone's immense celebration of the animation is making all that hard work very worth it!
