Had to scratch a personal animation itch this week and create a 2D Wednesday Addams! Found this birthday themed audio which perfectly aligns with my making August all about me, in true Leo style 😂 I used Moho of course! The hands, mouths and the flame were all frame-by-frame, the rest is a rig!🖤🖤🖤

Why is everyone so excited about Moho? Perpetual license, no AI, developed by artists, with amazing animated brushes, a simple interface, the best rigging system, and much more! Visit us at MIFA, booth A15, and discover NEW WAYS TO THINK IN 2D!

I have just been offered a rate 0.3x LOWER than my last lowest rate, and way under a rate from a 'micro-budget' indie project I worked on in 2017!! Where does this end?? I've heard people say their studios think I might be 'too expensive' but I'm literally just trying to not slip into poverty 😭

Developing AI tools is not in our plans. This will continue to be our position, at least until potential ethical and legal issues are resolved in a way that does not harm artists. Moho will continue to be a tool for artists. We still believe that the future is 2D. And it is also human.

I had the absolute pleasure of appearing on the Animation Action Hour podcast again! Banging on and on about Aardman AGAIN. It’s like de ja vu but better. Thanks for having me on guys! :D

I started a project-based course last night, The Animators Way on Adam's Animation Academy. He's not on bluesky that I can see so I can say what I want 😂 Thus: OMG. OMG. SPENT ALL NIGHT WRITING. COULDN'T SLEEP. I was struggling with a thing and he said 'lean into it Dani, lean all the way in' and

Also it solved a problem I was having with this specific idea that feels so thematically perfecttt I could backflip. aaah. creating is SO NICE. Aiming to finish a short film this year. Not just aiming: committing. By my 40th birthday. The deadline is August. I will not enjoy eating these words 😂

and and and i love it!!! i love it, I love what I've written. Even placeholder, it's so aligned with me and my dark little soul 😂😭 I've pitched so so so many times and I always get the 'Dani, we can't have this ending' so over time I have started unwriting my ideas and always worry about being 'got'

JANUARY IS SPEEDING BY I can't catch hold of it 😂😭 what's the rush buddy? I have given rescue breaths to my youtube channel (four videos queued wow) went on a womens march, had a photshoot, gained a safeguarding certificate for my paddlesport instructor alter-ego, and animated 2 things for fun!

Also had two fun podcast appearances, handed in all my coursework for my coaching diploma, all while working on two projects!! I had a goal of cramming my weeks with stuff so I wouldn't notice that 'freelance january funk' and it sure worked!

Wait, so the UK goverment lied to its people, claiming it will take things into consideration, then ignoring their own February 25th deadline, it simply decided to go ahead and accepted one of the most devastating and destructive shifts to IP law globally? Am I correct in that?

Ed Newton-Rex@ednewtonrex.bsky.social

The UK’s AI Opportunities Action Plan, published today, proposes legalising the mass theft of IP by AI companies. And the government has already accepted its recommendations, revealing the ongoing consultation on AI & copyright as a sham. More thoughts here fairtraining.substack.com/p/the-ai-opp...

I’ve been using Moho for nearly ten years!! And there are still buttons I haven’t pressed 😅 I spent the weekend pressing some, and attempting a half rigged, half hand drawn workflow. So much fun! But there are loads of things I’d do differently next time! Hope to get a tutorial on this out soon! :)

If you’ve recently bought Moho in the Black Friday Sale, I made this micro tutorial to get you up and animating QUICK (I love a quick win😅) Using the Transform Layer tool to animate an object will teach you how Moho sets keys, how to change keys, use onion skinning, get used to the timeline etc etc💜

How to animate a crowd? For Wolfwalkers, Cartoon Saloon picked Moho. A process that could be overwhelming became fun and flexible! Rigs, point animation, FK & IK and more gave all these people a few seconds of life #mohoanimation #2danimation #wolfwalkers #cartoonsaloon #rigging

My first post on Bluesky!!! Hello. Anyway I spent a day indulging in a ridiculous whim 🤣 Recreating the character Niddler from the Pirates Of DarkWater 90s cartoon!! I wanted to rig him in Moho for fun. Also played with how to add lighting and interior shadows to characters which is … a check box😅
