This, Is A Magic Frog

With great excitement I can finally unveil: Glass Roses!

This is my year long student film, with Echo the Dragon and Harper the glassblower learning to communicate and get along. Best enjoyed with sound as it has a custom score.

The story concept was mine and I got to be the art director and story lead on it. I did most of the animation on this, I designed Echo the dragon, and gave feedback and direction on color palettes, layouts, and VFX. My awesome team pulled out some awesome work and overall I think our final film is absolutely stellar.

Please feel free to reblog this! I spent so much pouring time and love into this! If you want you can leave me a tip on Ko-fi, and I have an Echo design up on Redbubble if you like my little dragon!

I don't think that's true like at all. I think that's another Liberal Trite Aphorism, with respect. it's one of those Sage Wisdoms which gets bandied about in Academy Award Winning films and biopics about Jackie Jackoff and his story of how Love Conquered The Power Of Hate and Led To A World Filled With Tolerance. This is a lie sold to you by the liberal capitalist ideological ecosystem in an attempt to assimilate your political consciousness into a shape which can accommodate abiding the existence of capital.

There is nothing inherently "Good" about "Love." There is nothing inherently "Bad" about "Hatred." Both of these things are just Things. Like Force, or Violence, or A Hammer. A hammer can build a home or break bone. Force can liberate a people or imprison them. Love can be used as the justification for brutal fascisms and can be the basis of people's revolutionary convictions. Hatred can be an emotional driver towards liberation even as it can be the basis of violent reaction. None of these things are inherently anything. It matters what they are used for and why. To say that "hate begets hate and the cycle never ends" is to be, respectfully, woefully credulous to an ideological framing which exists quite clearly and specifically to stifle and de-legitimize valid attempts at social change through the use of force.

You must free yourself from the analytical prison of the disconnected, un-constellated points of "wisdom" which paint the sky of liberalism's cosmology. There is something beyond this. You must learn to actually understand how the world works, seeing past the veil that Ideology has drawn over your eyes. You must, because the stakes are to be blind to the basic realities of the world around you. You must Jack Out. Wake up, Neo! etc etc etc ad infinitum.
