My work gave me a pre paid card as a holiday thank you and it basically covered the entire tab for the booze I picked up yesterday.

With just a few days left in 2018, we’re looking back at some of the most popular Overviews we created this year, and this low-angle shot of Chicago, Illinois, was definitely a fan favorite!
Chicago is the third most populous city in the United States, with more than 2.7 million residents. This Overview shows the Chicago River flowing through the city center, diving The Loop (left) and Near North Side (right) communities. Stay tuned for more great 2018 Overviews in the coming days!

there is this refreshing feeling after you draw your thoughts, i promise..
Into the Spider Verse is finally doing what mainstream CGI animation should have been doing for years: creating visuals only possible BECAUSE of the chosen medium.
CGI is a modern crutch. It’s cheaper than 2D by a landslide, and easier to churn out with the support of a studio.
But the actualization of a medium clicks when the medium is being used in ways that only it can. Focusing on rendering every hair, on recreating beautiful photo-realistic landscapes, that’s fine. It’s impressive. But the approach reaches a point where we’re left wondering:
“Why didn’t you just make a live action movie?”
Spider Verse brings the aesthetic, the aim, and the FUN of comics to the screen in a gorgeous way. I’m fucking thrilled that Miles is getting such a beautiful, unique, and frankly revolutionary introduction to the big screen.
