"But can't AI just be used to complete unimportant backgrounds or clean up animation?" No. Those are entry level positions that turn into long careers. Bg painters become art directors. Clean up artists become animation leads. Stop trying to cheat.

Can't even imagine storyboarding with AI. It's such an intimate process that requires know-how, artistic vision, and collaborative effort between writers and boarders.
Oh yeah it's also fun but I guess that shouldn't be a factor anymore in creative projects...
Martin Scorsese is now a partner and advisor for a generative AI startup
He says he's using AI during preproduction to help storyboard projects
“I’m interested in the intersection of technology and storytelling, and seeing how that can push the bounds of creativity to create deeper and richer experiences for audiences ... cinema is a young medium ... we have to be open to how it can evolve"

Pat show "Pick Patrick's Path" board thread!! I did the bomb scene and had a ton of fun with the expressions! This was around the time I was becoming more comfortable in the business and I can feel the confidence rising in these drawings!

You lot are too gun-ho on boycott. You need to pay attention to what is or isn’t happening and not jump to conclusions.
WB is not distributing this film. The film is an intense labor of love and if you truly love animation you will support the film and its crew when it releases!

Our roundtable conversation uncovered some hidden gems from the craft of storyboarding! Thanks to Lauren Auty @bimmling, Jez Hall @jezhallanim and JP Vine @jpvine. For day 20 of #MAFAdvent we ask what's the best thing you learned at MAF?

The audience’s visual attention is a laser pointer dot and the audience is a cat. You have to control where the audience looks every second.
The Wander Over Yonder titles (directed by @CrackMcCraigen or @ownerofwendys I think?) is masterful eye control.

Almost my entire animation career has been working on reboots/sequels/IP and there are still people out here saying artists shouldn’t draw fanart lol

Going to keep sharing anything I see relating to how boycotting movies/streamers etc has NOT been called for by the unions and could in fact harm the cause.

Acting is reacting! Here's what that means when I storyboard:
1. New information comes in,
2. Brain understands the information,
3. THEN the emotions hit.
Absorb, Understand, then React. And the pacing of each step is the secret sauce to unique performance!
