tragic when a thing gets hate for being 'woke trash' and you look into it and its not even that woke. like cmon man i was promised monacle popping gay commie propaganda. this is just a video game with a woman in it.

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.

Please stop what you're doing right now. Stop everything. If you're eating, put your hands down. If you're drinking, stop what you're buying. If you're playing, stop playing. If you're on a trip or at work, please just listen to me for a moment. Please don't ignore what I'm about to say.

What's happening here today is unbearable. Gaza is not well, even after what you call a ceasefire. We still can't return to our homes, and we pay exorbitant rents every month. We buy food at very high prices; we even have to pay for water. The war hasn't stopped. Every day there's shelling and gunfire. Please, don't let the Zionist media deceive you into thinking Gaza is living in luxury. We are suffering. There's no infrastructure, and there are none of the basic necessities of life.

Israel has spent $900,000 on media outlets to spread the false narrative that Gaza is doing well. This Zionist project, targeting pro-Zionist Western influencers, has been expanded to an estimated $3 million to conceal the truth from you. Please don't let them deceive you. We are not doing well here; we are suffering and need help. We need your donations. Please help us and donate to us.

Please listen to Nader and don't ignore what he's saying. Nader is suffering in a war that has lasted three decades. Please don't ignore him and please donate to him.

please dont assume somebody else will donate! please feel free to help nader, everything counts!

Please donate. We've been waiting since yesterday and no one has donated. Please donate to us. We need your help. Please don't ignore us. Please donate.

Please don't ignore us, guys! We need 4200 euros to reach our goal. Please donate now! Please keep donating and don't ignore us!

Nader and his family are getting closer to their goal and need all the help they can get to reach it! Please, continue to share and donate what you can!!

Now there are two of them-

If you or someone you know has enrolled in an ROTC college program where you will end up owing money if you choose to drop out and not enlist in the military, you CAN pay the money back the same as you would a loan. The rates will probably be better than the loan rates you would have gotten for normal student loans. You are not "locked in." You have a choice. You do not have to join the military.

also, if you are in ROTC and haven't yet gotten scholarships/completed field training/signed on the dotted line, you are free to leave without owing anything. You can drop your ROTC classes Right Now and there will be no consequences from the military (now depending on when you drop, you might end up with a withdrawal on your transcript, but that doesn't really have any consequences outside of the school)

You can drop out of JROTC at any time!! ROTC is NOT a military contract, you are NOT bound by anything except maybe a student loan if they've paid for some of your college. Paying off a loan leaves you with WAY better options than staying in the program.

I know multiple people who incurred permanent disabilities in ROTC that prevented them from going into the military, so they ended up having to pay the loan back anyway. They wish they had dropped out before they got hurt!

Do not join the US military.
