Notes from our ten days of paddling, hosted by the Secwépemc nation, as a small part of @pullingtogether . Still trying to absorb and process what was shared. We’re not even back in Ontario yet and can’t draw fast enough. Some songs and stories will stay in my head as they are not mine to share. It was an honour.
.
“Secwépemc (“the spread-out people”), a Nation of 32 Salish speaking communities that have been divided into 17 bands by the Indian Act, are 10,000 people strong and growing. Before contact with Europeans, the original population is estimated at 25,000 people, drastically reduced to 7,000 due to the 1862 smallpox epidemic. Secwépemc territory spans approximately 180,000 squared kilometres (112,000 squared miles) which includes the headwaters of the two largest river systems in British Columbia; the Columbia and Fraser River valleys, and extends south to the Arrow Lakes. Secwépemc have occupied their territory, Secwepemcúl̓ecw, for over 10,000 years and have never signed away, ceded or sold their land or territory.”

🖤⚔️ Thanks to @troyquane @itsnickbruno and @jonychandra for inviting me to play on #nimonamovie during some of the final minutes of game time! Keep hauling ass! ⚔️🖤
Any midnight oil burned to push this one closer to the finish was worth it on my side. 🤘They’re a fighter. 🤘
Can’t wait till for this to debut! Much love to the former @blueskystudios Story crew for setting this one up. And by ‘set this up’ I mean ‘years of work, rework, and rework’ and not giving up.

Real allyship means actions. Disney can and should use its influence to be
an ally and show up for human rights for Floridians, its employees and
their families.
Today I support all Disney employees walking out in solidarity for human rights, including those of our #LGBTQ+ loved ones. Today, and every day, I support making schools and workplaces–and a society–safe for all marginalized communities. #DisneyDoBetter #DisneySayTrans #DisneySayGay#DisneyDoBetter #DisneySayTrans #DisneySayGay #WherelsChapek

Disney employees will be participating in virtual walkouts every work day from 3/15 to 3/21 from 3:00-3:15, with a final full walkout on 3/22. To read our full list of demands and to get more information on why we are protesting the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, please visit http://whereischapek.com

trailer shots! this sequence was drawn first by Wil Mata, then possibly someone else, then me, then possibly another person 😂
I’m always amazed at how far things progress after we in the story dept jam out so many different takes on characters, situations and script reads. The amount of piling on is like 200 more people shouting ‘Yes, AND - 🤯🤯🤯 it just takes off 🚀
Thanks @circle_persnickety and also @jmercado @joel_crawford @heidijogilbert for inviting me to play w/ the crew! I can’t wait till it comes out this Sept.
Full trailer on YT now

Behind the scenes there was a fair amount lot of rough times making this one. If you were damn lucky, you might have had a pandemic project to cover your bills and PIB2 was mine.
I was glad to hide out here when we didn’t know how anything would end (2020/21), building this little world with 50-100 other folks spread all over, in awe of the art direction, designers, lighting crew and the writing/boarding room, edging some lightness into some truly grim days.
Just look at that texture on Puss’ hat! So painterly. And I can’t wait to see this art direction super huge on a big screen 🤞 (I hope) 🤞
Forever thankful I got to play with @dreamworks and those stellar pre-prod crews for @pussinboots The Last Wish, one of those rare existential comedies. That’s where it was aimed when I rolled off, and I’m sure it both heightened and deepened from there.
I won’t even mind if the film turned out terrible - and I’m sure it’s actually fantastic - that’s how much I liked hanging with that bunch and meeting their irl cats via Zoom.
Trailer drops tomorrow, fingers crossed you like it.

Did you know that as of 2022, 29 Indigenous communities still endure long term boil water advisories?
Justin Trudeau made a promise to end all advisories on reserves yet here we are in 2022 and communities are still fighting for their basic right to clean water.
On top of that, once advisories are lifted, communities have to deal with the expense of cleaning up plastic bottle waste from having to truck in clean drinking water for so many years!
It is outrageous and communities are speaking up. Just recently, Coldwater Nation successful negotiated for the TMX pipeline to be rerouted from their aquifer. Beaver Lake Cree Nation is taking Canada to court over the oil sands that threaten their waters. And Neskantaga Nation are headed to court to stand up to mining interests in Northern Ontario.
Visit the link in our bio for more information to get involved!

Yep story work is hard (see previous posts) but it’s also really fun to try to puzzle out how to introduce a character, the setting, the tone of a core relationship, and foreshadow the rest of the picture in 10 beats then stitch it all together into one five minute pitch (not posted, this from a shelved project).
There’s not a lot of art forms like #storyboarding out there.
Students: you can both love what you do and desire better conditions to do it in. It’s not a binary relationship.
So yes to the #newdeal4animation and also yes to this job. It is like no other trade, ups, downs, and all.

I support our storyboard artists working reasonable workloads on reasonable schedules. The best productions keep everyone on their teams feel valued as artists, not just wrists.
