With indie being prominent subject right now don't just expect indies to pop up, help support it , help share it. You can't just expect it. indie isn't sustainable due to how expensive and long it takes without that support
A word of advice for anyone interested in indie animation.
It takes time!
Its gonna possibly take years and that's OK, the key is persistence. Don't give up and don't quit.
We aren't big named studios, and we aren't established individuals with contacts.
You are doing fine
A young girl sets off on her dream to be a superhero while learning valuable lessons and juggling her new secret life,but when a new evil threatens the city its up to Jackie and her friends to put an end to it and save the day!

Share your Indie Animated Pilot by either replying or Qrting with your Indie Animated Pilot (either in production or already released!)
Big studios can cancel years of work, after paying for it spending millions
Indie devs can't fund a single pilot after years of work.
Support indie animation like you'd support big studios.
Literally a simple share goes so far!
We interrupt your regular broadcast to bring you some exciting news!
I got the unexpexted confirmation this morning. It brought a huge smile to my face. Thank you Big Mouth for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I look forward to the journey ahead.
Btw I was kicked from BBS mid way for stating I "Would not be creating legal documents as an assistant director as it wasn't in the description. "
Then proceeded to try and gaslight.
I remained professional during thay convo, and if they wanna share be my guest.
Not to be a downer hear, but if yall want indie devs to create you gotta commit to and support indie devs.
To put into perspective, over the course or 13 years, ive spent over 8k of my own personal funds over time just to get it to where it is today.
I really can’t wait to see what indie filmmakers create during this time.
Without Hollywood.
Without superstars.
Without capital.
But WITH full creative control and WITH community.
If your only following the bigger indie productions you really aren't a suppoeter of indie animation. Im sorry, but you can't claim to be a supporter if you won't share, like or comment on a smaller creators posts
There will be folks who don't like you, or your project.
There will be folks you think are supportive, but will ditch you later and
There will be folks who want to see you fail at every turn.
The list goes on
But
Keep pushing, keep fighting, and keep your dreams alive.
I dont understand removing folks once you get a big role/few big roles. It's weird to me
I want to celebrate my fellow VA victory the same way they celebrate mine, To celebrate together is the ultimate victory
We shouldn't even have to publicly stat that we won't use AI in our projects tbh. It's kinda of sad that these statements need to be made. I think it's obvious at the time that our community doesn't agree with AI. And anyone who does will most likely face scrutiny.
I unfortunately said I love you last Friday for the last time to my grandpa. I've been having a rough time recently with the loss of my dog, and this news was extra hard because of it.
This is why I needed that break.
Rest in Peace.
This statement right here!!!!!
A project just recieved 2mil, and there are still projects that struggle to even reach 1/4th of their goal line.
Supporting doesn't just mean donating it means, sharing, liking, donating, reposting, commenting etc. Do what you can to support.
The call to indie animation in regards to the strikes shows a clear lack of understanding of how indie operates.
Everyone wants to be inide until its time to support indie projects
I'm sorry, but also I'm not. They had everything coming to them, they used minors, they bullied people, and we as a community do not condone such actions. We don't want your shows if you and staff are being used to manipulate and hurt others.
@EliseMeggie
Fun Fact. If the email is tracable, and legit, blackmail is a federal offense. And if you wanted to be petty and get this person, you are well within your legal rights
I can finally share
BBS is the studio I constantly ridiculed. Piss poor behavior and honestly it's worse than I cod have imagined. We tried to warn her don't fuck with minors. (During my very brief time before all this) Just another indie studio giving indie a really bad name.
Boldbird Studios, a indie animation studio known for their upcoming projects ‘Lionbound’ and more, is being exposed for toxic mistreatment over their workers.
The document calls out the unprofessional, toxic, inappropriate mistreatment going on at Boldbird Studios.

@josh_saitogami
has been killing it latelt.I've seen more role announcements by this guy on my feed more than others. Keep at the good work.
And for those who haven't announced you will get your time to shine! I beleive in you more than Naruto beleived he'd be hokage
It was an honor to record with
@GMVoices
and
@chris_dituri
for Zenless Zone Zero
Thank you
@WhatHeSaidVO
for being an amazing director and giving me a chance! I hope you work with you all again!
SAG is still on strike btw. Don't let these super cool movie announcment and projects get you to cross the line just because the writers guild came to an agreement. SAG supported them and we should support SAG until an agreement is reached

@FightingAllOdds
Don't ruin peoples opportunities just because you don't like them, or that you didn't have the best experience with them. That's incredibly petty and it's incredibly unprofessional.
(Obviously this doesn't pertain to cases in which crimes are involved)
Not going to lie. If the industry decided to make the bold move and offer pitches from indie community members we'd have a lot better shows. There are so many gold mines in this community.

There you go, fixed your description
It is with a heavy heart that Luna has left this Earth. She went peacefully in my arms. I'm just glad I was able to give her a life that no one else could. I'm not gonna be here for a minute while I mourn and recover.
If your wanting to be in the Indie scene then support and follow other indie creatives! Honestly getting real tired of the fake support I see from some others and then expect their series to be supported just cuz their concept is popular.
Throwback Thursday for the FAO/Stars Align crossover art
Stars Align by
@theaartsz
Art by the wonderfully talented
@kaldraws8280
who also makes
@BlackPinesKY
Make sure to follow and give them some support as well!
If you want to make an Indie Animation studio that's a fine goal.
Focus on 1 show at a time. Too many times do these studios stretch themselves too thin with 5+ Projects and don't have any that are complete or close to complete.
It takes time finish 1 before you start a second
It's time for another casting announcement - please welcome

Ah yes. Because I laid out the facts and numbers defending trans people, while he is calling them predators, I'm the bad guy.
Normally I wouldn't give him a platform, but I've been feeling extra spicy lately and honestly I'm fed up with crap that my friends are dealing with
If you liked the fact they had ASL then you should check out
@FightingAllOdds
Our MC is HoH and uses ASL.
We ACTIVELY consult the Deaf community to make sure our signs are as accurate as possible. This is just a small snippet from a few years back.
Last thing I'll say. I wouldn't work for BATB or SpitFire even if Bold has said they will be independent. They were made by bold and working on them would be working for bold.
She unfortunately has shown know signs of changing and would rather delete everything than own up.

We shaved down the face for the front.

@FightingAllOdds
An action/adventure

This type of support needs to be across the board on indie shows now just big popular ones.
right now one you can def support is
@Sunflowerclub_
Little Wolf
I unfortunately will be saying goodbye to my biggest supporter this weekend. She'd lived a great life and I'm so happy that I could be with you till your end.
Unfollowed over 200 folk. I did not remove mutuals, but if you've found yourself removed it's most likely an accident and you can reach out, or comment, and I'm more than happy to refollow.
It finally happened and it makes me happy.
I googled my name and The Old Robert Preston actor didn't pop up.
It was me The New Robert Preston actor instead.
That actually brought me so much joy
I always encourage folks to make ORIGINAL indie things. too many times to I see people put years of work into a fan game/fan animation only to be hit with a cease and desist, cutting and scrapping years of work and effort. You can be inspired, just don't use existing IP
Hey friends who do the drawings.
My friends d&d group is looking to do a big comm piece here soon. Can yall drop your samples including rates I'll share them with their group so they can pick! It's either gonna be a map, or characters , or items
I'm quoting this to showcase how NOT to treat your colleagues in the voicr over realm. Having heard the voice recordings these are incredibly unprofessional. It comes off as he has no regard for anyone's time but his own, but thats my two cents in this matter.
Remember: No Indie studio/projects should be making you sign any legal document that makes you unable to work on other projects that aren't produced by them.
Remember also: that unless you are paid in some way you aren't legally employed, and thus can work on whatever you want!
