speaking of cool animation stuff on youtube, this week's interesting thing is this test animation and animatic from a cancelled netflix pilot! it's 2d animation superimposed over fruit puppets and is one of the most inventive things i've ever seen. It's for a Neo-noir called "Pulp" and the characters are fruit, so when they get beat up and stuff they just get all mashed up like actual fruits and veggies. It's so inventive and fun!!

Last week was music youtube shoutouts, here's some animation youtube shoutouts! I'd also recommend following all these creators, though some of them post very infrequently!
#MoStopMo, a channel a friend introduced me to last week that screens stop motion films and interviews artists! Their digital film festivals are TOP NOTCH in quality!
A Studio Digital posts shorts by lots of different artists and they're SO MUCH FUN! I love all of them!
Moss Lawton's Fritz animatic, based on their series of Graphic Novels Hellaween!
Aimee Steinberger's really sick Our Flag Means Death music video animatic!
Brianne Drouhard has lots of cool stuff on her channel, but I specifically love her painting process vids! She occasionally will stream on twitch too, so if you like really soothing vids of people inking or painting I really recommend her twitch as well!
Miguel Baltazar is a storyboard artist at Walt Disney Feature studios and posts his animatics and process breakdowns!
I'm sure I forgot some super cool ones but I can always do another post later. if you're craving more cool animation work, also be sure to check out the things I have listed in the sidebar!!

I stumbled on this youtube channel uploading their old creepypasta animation content:
Their work is so earnest and fun! It really brings me back to 2010s youtube in the most delightful way.
