My Twitter notifications and DMs are all bots now. I barely see artists there anymore.
I think Iām going to switch to Bluesky permanently and lurk on Twitter every now and then. Iām @jeandenishaas on all socials btw.
Twitter has exactly become the predicted useless place after Manchild took over.
That also means The Animation Minute will take a backseat. I do want to post about job listings though, so Iāll figure something out for 2025.
āHow To Train Your Dragonā is coming along really well, awesome looking work! Canāt divulge project schedules but letās just say Iāll have time for the channel in the near future again. Lots to talk about, review, demo, so Iām very excited for 2025!
See you soon!

Delayed āAnimation Minuteā this week, sorry, not feeling too well, might be tomorrow or Wednesday.
Iāll start up the workshop uploads again and potentially lectures and analysis clips in September. Been super busy working at Blizzard and now on the new job for a month but temporary relocation might be happening in September which would come with more extra time for the channel. Crossing fingers! š¤š»
