Somewhere in Leeds a few peoples morning has gone from "oh wow our social stuff is getting some decent views" to "uh oh".
Just because it's on the web or a meme doesn't mean you can use it commercially. If "creative" is in your job title you should know this.
Looks like we've got a solution to the Quorn situation that everyone should be happy with. HUGE thank you for everyone's support, especially
@austenkay
for all your help. It's means so much and I'm utterly humbled by the response.
Badger, Badger, Badger fans, we hear you and we hold our hands up.
We should have involved
@TheWeebl
from the outset. We’ve now connected with him and are pleased to announce we are now collaborating on a new and improved UniQuorns video. So watch this space…
Agencies.
If you like a particular piece by a creator for a project then you might consider contacting them to see if they would be involved.
It's often their job, and who could do better at working in the style you like than the one who already does it?
@TeamYouTube
@AlarconGareca
And will you be compensating those whose videos earn less as a result of this, or is it the same YT attitude as always that consistently shows how few fucks you give about those that made your site what it is?
An example of compositing from one scene of
@thetomska
's Skate Cow video. This one is pretty simple. Lay out everything in 3D space, Add shadows to the cow, Curve the fence, particle smoke, focus blur and grade (bloom, colour tweaks and so on).
You know UK. Sometimes it's best to look around you at the huge mistake you made and say "I made a huge mistake" rather than carrying on with the huge mistake like a FUCKING IDIOT WOULD DO.
Wouldn't be doing this sort of thing without the help and support of so many wonderful people, be it mods, patreon, soundingboard or twitch subscriber.
Long live silliness on the internet. Long live not obeying the algorithm. Long live absolute chaos.
AI tools have a place in art, without a doubt. Things like AI aided mocap levels the playing field for indie productions with small budgets AND doesn't rip off artists work. Tools are great.
More tools.
Wholesale generative stuff is just lazy, boring, regurgitated slop.
So
@TeamYouTube
has demonetised my 10 hour channel entirely for "reusing others work"?????
Yet everyone else seems free to just upload my work themselves.
Doesn't seem right somehow, especially since I only made the channel to do something about everyone elses 10 hour uploads.
We will no longer be working with Ragenineteen and have cut all ties. Sexual harassment and violence is unacceptable.
I'm sorry you had to go through this
@RachelKiki_
I feel we've let you down so badly.
Everything is sorted with the Badger thing. Removed the tweets because they asked nicely and I don't like to just leave things hanging either since people still retreat things from 5 years or more ago.
Hi. I'm Nikki Perez from App Nana. I'm going to email you every day till the heat death of the universe even when you ask me to stop, several times. Try my shitty app.
First badgers I hated the snake animation I did. In the new version I purposefully made a snake animation I'd also hate.
Also the grass doesn't move in the second Rock Badger shot...
I like to disappint myself.
I realise now that the sensible thing to do while people are here is mention that's I've got an album of C64 music remixes coming out soon from
@thalamusdigital
. I'm real excited about it. It's Called SID Life Crysis.
There's a meme account on here that endlessly posts racist tropes.
Twitter just replied and found nothing wrong with this. The account has a blue tick and is monetised.
This site is totally ok with paying racists to be racist.
Hi
@unitedmasters
. I emailed you a few days ago about how your distributing one of my tracks without permission. Not heard anything back yet. Am I to assume I need to go further than a DMCA notice?
I kinda miss when the Internet wasn't like going down to a local retail park, with the same 5 shops as everywhere else.
Everything is gamified and safe with as few surprises as possible.
It's boring.
All I really want is a show where
@RealBobMortimer
sits down by a 3 bar portable gas fire with a scotch egg and a pack of Frazzles, then tells us tales of his life.
Heads up to everyone uploading my music to Spotify and other distributors. Mainly Maxwell the Cat (Stock Market originally).
Don't do it.
I'm fairly relaxed about using my music in videos but don't take peoples work and try and profit off it.
Let's try one more time.
Hi
@Psych2go
I think you've messed up with your narwhals video.
1: Don't take someone's work and then decide it's now Creative Commons.
2: Always credit and link where you can.
3: Ask permission perhaps.
You got 8+ mil subs. You should know better.
Remember when all the animators used to make short little videos on YouTube and now YouTube are desperately trying to get people to make shorts again even though theres no revenue and they already killed off everyone's channel who did make them?
I honestly cannot remember a more worthless UK government than the current one. Just endless fuckups and half-arsed attempts at seeming competent. Get Cummings' dick out your mouth
@BorisJohnson
and listen to your scientists next time.
