I love animation history and one of the things that always baffled me was how did animators draw the cars in 101 Dalmatians before the advent of computer graphics?

Any rigid solid object is extremely challenging for 2D artists to animate because if one stray line isn’t kept perfectly in check, the object will seem to wobble and shift unnaturally.

Even as early as the mid 80’s Disney was using a technique where they would animate a 3D object and then apply a 2D filter to it. This practice could be applied to any solid object a character interacts with: from lanterns a character is holding, to a book (like in Atlantis), or in the most extreme cases Cybernetic parts (like in Treasure Planet).

But 101 Dalmatians was made WAY before the advent of this technology. So how did they do the Cruella car chase sequence at the end of the film?

The answer is so simple I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner:

They just BUILT the models and painted them white with black outlines 🤣

That was the trick. They’re not actually 2D animated, they’re stop motion. They were physical models painted white and filmed on a white background. The black outlines become the lineart lines and they just xeroxed the frame onto an animation cel and painted it like any other 2D animated frame.

That’s how they did it! Isn’t that amazing? It’s such a simple low tech solution but it looks so cool in the final product.

the vibes dissonance of ppl online can be crazy. did you know the artist behind those cutesy crow comics that do big numbers on here ran hiveworks into the ground so hard that 100 artists who worked w them came together to put out a statement abt how they and their work had been absolutely fucked by the incompetency and malice of it all

Crow Times by Isabelle “Isa” Melacon if anyone is wondering. Please read the statements made by the guild. There were many phenomenal artists that were deeply hurt by Hiveworks.

pretty much

I do love the fact that in any other serie Falin (the big, not conventional attractive, autistic woman) would the one persuing Marcille (blond, thin, intelligent, conventional beautiful woman)

But instead we got the most girl failure to ever girl failure risking her life, sanity and an actual death sentence for illegal magic just so she see the big titties again

i'm super curious to see what the responses to this are

feel free to put why you do/don't shave your legs, or any other nuances in the tags! reblogs for reach are appreciated :)

Man, it sure would be a pity if this information was circulated widely and people were able to learn the identities of local Nazis and make their lives hell. Gosh. Darn. I'm just verklempt over the idea.

I know "stealing content from social media willy nilly" is kind of how places like People magazine keep a flow of content, but the new drama is that the writer who does solely this (Ashley Vega) stole a story from a DV survivor on reddit who was asking for advice and published it as an "article" (she copy pasted the story and a few reddit comments)

When the DV victim asked her to please take it down, because she was afraid of her abusive ex finding her, Ashley Vega blocked her and deleted any comments about how the victim actually really wants the story taken down for her own safety.

idk the point of this, other than it feels so gross to me that people just stole some poor woman's trauma for money and don't even have the grace to take it down, especially since those "articles" aren't exactly hard or time consuming to write.

The story is still up btw. People's response was basically "Sucks to suck" Ashley Vega is an absolute scumbag and disgusting human being.

She just put out another "article" without removing the one about the domestic abuse victim if you wanna leave a few comments

Civil rights pioneer

Claudette Colvin, whose 1955 arrest for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery bus helped spark the modern civil rights movement, has died. She was 86.

Her death was announced Tuesday by the Claudette Colvin Legacy Foundation. Ashley D. Roseboro of the organization confirmed she died in Texas.

Colvin was arrested months before Rosa Parks gained international fame before refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus.

I was having writers block and so I took a break and soon enough it was 3 in the morning and I had impulsively sewn together a tiny mouse you’re welcome

For those of you who asked, I have made a sewing tutorial on how to make your very own Peaches the Mouse!

I see people reblogging this with “to buy” but this pattern is free??? Someone even asked me “why don’t you charge money for it, it took you forever to put the document together” and I said “Not a lot of people have money and if they have some fabric scraps and a couple of buttons lying around they can make themselves a little mouse friend for free and that might make them happy and that makes me happier than receiving money???” Make yourself a liddol creacher! Heals the Soul!

@otiksimr if I learn to sew i will surround you with even more mice

26000 mice + however many sewn ones 😔

I love women. I’m half woman myself on my mothers side.
