Up here it’s #nunavutday ! head to @inhabit_media for stories and perspectives you can’t find anywhere else on this planet. Based in Nunavut! One of my favourite small press publishers ⚡️🔥 they have YA, graphic novels, nonfiction, all kinds of new fiction, you name it. Some stories are new, some are hundreds of thousands years old...

I haven’t forgotten. Kelly Asbury brought togeth

I haven’t forgotten. Kelly Asbury brought together such an amazing story crew for ‘Gnomeo & Juliet’, many of them are still friends of mine over a decade later. Kelly was one of the rare ones, always on, very present, and positive in the face of all kinds of pressure. I learned so much talking with him over lunches, the occasional after work session, and watching him act on his own advice in the story room. RIP, Kelly. Lest we forget. .

Posted @withregram • @jenhurler @diversetoons is a panel series that travels to schools and cons in NYC and the surrounding area, featuring Black and other marginalized creatives working in the animation industry. These panels are where the real talk is happening. Where real experiences good and bad are shared so that we can all navigate this world and industry better. And also just talk about the work and the art. Their next event is virtual—June 20th—on their YouTube channel—which has lots of great excerpts from past events. Sign up for their newsletter while you’re at it. DT was founded by Monique Henry-Hudson (@simplyrobotix) and Jade Seaberry (@prjade).

Outtake of a working draft of @spiderversemovie boards drawn during crunch. finding a character requires iteration, just like on-set ‘takes’ during a live-action shoot. I love trying them on, spinning lines, see what lands. Here Gwen was dialed a bit harsh and pulled back in final; I think any lady can justifiably harbor some anger issues tho. Available on VOD everywhere! .

Thanks to @ghuwevans for the movie tour! I managed

Thanks to @ghuwevans for the movie tour! I managed some studies from ‘Heroes of the East’ (1978) over the weekend.
.
This match between Chia-Hui Liu’s king fu character and Harada Tsutomu’s kendo expert character was worth looking at for a couple of reasons.
It’s expertly directed by Chia-Liang Hu and edited so well that it has everything you could want.
Highs and lows, differing rhythms from each character based on their backgrounds, and key pauses to track the emotional arc of the Japanese master as he goes from a determined killer, to fury in realizing he’s being toyed with, to honorable humility at meeting his sportsmanlike equal, to attempting seppuku out of shame.
All of this due to Chia-Hui’s character being Chinese and not understanding what these intense and militant Japanese want from him.
A fun action-comedy rooted in arranged marriages, language barriers and culture clash that erupts in violence! Great compositions from cinematographer Arthur Wong, I just had to pause it and appreciate the busy/quiet/straights/curves in so many shots!
