I re animated a scene from Bigtop burger in the Rankin Bass stopmotion style.
This took a while but I think it turned out pretty neat, though not as good as Worthis imitations. It was my first time doing 3D animation so I learned a lot for my next project, as this was mostly a test to see if I could do the style.
(Edit since this got more than like 5 notes: if you like this kind of thing, consider giving me a lil sub on youtube, it helps me make better stuff and means the world to me! Also thanks for the kind words!)
The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.
Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”
