Peridot Learned Something New

I don’t know if this idea is stupid or absolutely beautiful but! What if the rottmnt community remakes the whole movie? I’ve seen all the scene redraws but I doubt this word will get around. If it did get around I would seriously do my best to organize it. If you like the idea reblog this and if you’re drawing a scene then make sure to start from the very first one. If this does end up becoming popular I’ll be making posts about what scenes have been taken. And yes I mean every scene even the funny stretched out ones. If this actually works out I would put all the stuff together! I would post it on yt under this account. To make this easier for me use my asks to say whether or not a scene is taken. I’ll update the posts every hour if possible.

tbh sometimes i see three colors that aren't even pink green and blue and i still go like oh my god. sashannarcy.

What if the reason doof became evil again isn’t something funny like wanting to fight Perry. But because he learned that Perry would be relocated because he didn’t have a nemesis. And doof knew Perry would be sad about this so he quickly went of social media and posted he was evil again so Perry could stay.

here's a quick guide for understanding how to shop for computer parts

_____

CPU - This is your computer's brain. More advanced brains mean more complex things can be done, but CPUs have gotten so advanced in general that you don't actually need a top of the line CPU for most PC functions, even for playing graphically intensive video games (with some exceptions).

GPU - This thing is what makes the graphics on anything you run on your PC. You also don't need a top end one for most PC functions, but if you want to crank that video game to max settings and see the pores on your fave's face, you will need a good GPU. GPUs used to be cheaper many years ago, but when crypto became a thing, people bought GPUs to mine cryptocurrency which drove the prices up like crazy. (In the rare case a video game is said to be "CPU-bound", it means it doesn't matter how good your GPU is, that game's performance is going to be more affected by how good your CPU is instead. )

RAM - This is your computer's attention span. The more RAM you have, the more (or bigger) things your computer can do at once. Programs that ask your computer to calculate a ton of stuff at once have higher RAM demands. Nowadays, you want to have a minimum of 12 gigabytes of RAM if your computer is purely for work, and 16 if it's for gaming. Even mere internet browsers are heavy on RAM usage nowadays.

Storage - Your computer's memory. The bigger your storage, the more files and programs you can save. These come in two types. 1) HDDs are cheap, stable, and slow due to being old tech. Perfect for storing all your files. 2) SSDs are more expensive, not as stable (if they fail it's a lot harder to recover the contents as opposed to an HDD), and way WAAY faster than HDDs. It's better to install your programs on SSDs if you want them to load like lightning.

Power supply - Your uh, your computer's power supply. Plug it into a wall and your computer can turn on.

Motherboard - All of these parts have to combine to form a computer right? The motherboard is the big circuit board you attach all these parts to, the skeleton of your PC. Not every computer part can fit on every motherboard, so make sure yours fits!

Fans - Fans attached to your computer to prevent your precious and expensive equipment from melting into a sad puddle because you decided to play Monster Hunter Wilds. Some are loud, some are quiet, as long as it keeps your parts cool, you're good. Some PCs dont use fans and instead have complex liquid cooling systems (and some people stuff their motherboard into an open freezer).

If you don't know what you're looking at with all the long numbers and weird names, simply find out what part it is, google that name + review, and you'll get nerds on the internet telling you if it's worth the price.

For example, a thing says 'RTX 5090'. That thing is a GPU. Just google the exact model's name + review and nerds on the internet will tell you if it's worth it (it's not, don't buy a 5090).

If it's your very first time and you've got a tight budget, google "PC build for under X dollars" where X is your budget. You'll find many suggestions, sometimes with builds tailored for specific purposes (video editing, office work, PC gaming, rendering 3D, etc)

I still have no idea what to call this au if you have any ideas please tell me

I’ve been cooking up a fantasy lapidot au (by fantasy I just mean magic and monsters but there is some basic tech)

Peridot is an aspiring inventor but isn’t very good at it she’s better at making her inventions explode than work. Thankfully for her a Prince Steven (rose quartz became a “queen” after the revolution) took her in and let’s peridot live in a shack in his backyard.

Eventually the crystal knights (I’m considering making them creatures but haven’t decided yet) decide peridot needs to do something around the house instead of just tinkering in a shed so they send her out to get water from a nearby lake, but when peridot gets to the lake she sees a harpy chained up

Peridot tries to avoid her at first (peri is still a bit of a jerk) but after a while peri starts responding to the harpy’s cries and they start talking the harpy reveals her name is lapis but peridot leaves after getting the water (again jerk)

The next week peridot comes back and sees lapis again and they talk more lapis reveals her backstory about jasper chaining her up. Peridot starts going to the lake daily to chat and free lapis as a romance friendship forms.

Hello! I’m trying to make a pilot of my own to submit to a studio to make a show. Problem is.. I can’t draw, let alone animate, and I’m broke. But I want to make an animated show from the bottom of my heart. What would you recommend is the best way to pitch a show and find volunteers to make a pilot?

Most pitches just start as loglines, scripts, or concepts if that helps. Just play to your strengths. Long answer ahead

This is one of the number one things I always tell students when they're making a portfolio and also why I didn't fully animate my pilot. I've had so many folks who are trying to get into storyboarding show me animatics from their portfolio that they edited themselves. Unless it's an action scene with very specific timing, or if the artist is also a skilled editor, I'd rather just click through a PDF. If the editing is bad, I'm gonna be distracted by the editing and not view the board properly. It takes away from the actual skill you're trying to showcase. Showing more often creates more room for error and makes your weaknesses much clearer.

I'm not a great animator and I knew that if I tried, it wouldn't come out the way I wanted and all the inevitable errors would have been distracting (it also would have taken FOREVER and would be expensive if I tried hiring other folks to help me with it). But I know that I'm good at storyboarding so I stuck with that.

All this to say, you don't need to create an animated pilot to pitch. There are so many different ways to pitch and get your idea out there. In most cases the pilot is made in development if the studio likes your idea anyways. If you truly have no money, just use the skills you have at your disposal. Unless you're 1000% sure that a fully animated will help your chances and that you can find other people with the skillset to execute it, I wouldn't do it.

But if you DO really want to do it, ask artist friends or people you trust to help out. Most of the people I worked with for my pilot were friends who, even though I offered to pay, helped pro bono. If you don't have artist friends, you can post open casting calls on socials, but make sure to be super up front about it being unpaid work, COMMUNICATE, and also write contracts. If you're working with strangers, having a set agreement that states that you will be using their work to pitch will help you avoid potential legal issues in the future.

That's my 2 cents! A fully animated pilot is a 2+ year commitment AT LEAST (if you're lucky). I'd just do what you're good at and fill in the gaps when you actually get a development deal

Q & A:

Can we still make and post Rise content until then? YES! As long as we flood the internet with as many posts as possible on August 16 and 17. Make sure to stockpile and then release all your posts into the wild!

What else can I do that would help Rise’s chances? Stream the movie and the show on those two days. Having the viewership suddenly increase on Paramount and Netflix would also greatly increase its chances! ALSO! Like and support as much Rise content/posts on that day! Every little bit counts! Even if you can’t draw, write, or create, you can ALWAYS like, reblog, retweet, and share!

“Nat 20 baby!”

My man, Heinz Doofenshmirtz, deserves this victory guys. We have to do it for him. We have to do it for the revival

"He can stay second place, that'll be fine" NO, HE WON'T BE, THIS WOULD BE THE KIND OF THING THAT WOULD BE A BACKSTORY
