Used all my life savings to survive 2yrs while I animate 14-18hrs/day, 7days/wk, for the duration of production. Also paid out of pocket thus far spending 35k. Not accounting for my time, budget of this film is 35k. No savings left & need help finishing! kck.st/424QakH

Again, I made an anime influenced feature film without the use of gen AI all on my own using blender which is free. It's a 2hr feature film which I wrote, storyboarded and animated. No using data sets of stolen art work.

Used all my life savings to survive 2yrs while I animate 14-18hrs/day, 7days/wk, for the duration of production. Also, made sure the contracts for everyone had a no ai clause so nobody can put this into gen data sets. Watch this solo animated film here: watch.eventive.org/wd/play/68b1ee…

I used blender to make this solo 2hr animated feature film with a budget of 135k. I can’t imagine what I could do with $30mil… that is insane. The films will be public for 15 days only right here: watch.eventive.org/wd/play/68b1ee…

This film is most 40 TB. I need two 20 TB drives to back the film up once.

I've never sent out an animation or directors reel. Never applied for a job in the industry. I always get job offers after I've released a personal film. I rarely get job offers after working on someone else's projects. I think personal art projects are maybe your best resume?

We are at 55%! You all are seriously making me cry! It may be the 3hrs of sleep a night as I'm still animating the end of the movie but I'm getting super emotional here! Thank you!!! ❤️🙏❤️❤️ #kickstarter | kck.st/424QakH

Besides animating bg crowds (and there's tons..), I think I'm done... Runtime: 2hrs 3min without end credits.

Why is midjourney following me? Are they planning to scrape my art without telling me?...

One of the things I fully 2D animate in close up are hands. Nothing like a traditionally drawn hand.
