Every Frame a Painting (for a limited time) | Patreon
Figured I should log this as a pleasant event to look back on at the bare minimum. (I’m guessing if you’re read this blog, you’ve already heard of this from other people in these circles.)
Taylor and Tony are having a little comeback / publicity tour. As part of a “marketing campaign” for their new short, they will be releasing a series of new EFAP videos!
Some more details from their Patreon.

Not only is the quality of work and what these videos are about excellent, I believe in the method of how they’re made. They peeled the curtain back a bit in their postmortem ‘video’, and it’s so clear how strongly they believe in withholding a piece of work until it’s polished enough to be released. This series is a stellar example of how much more rewarding and richer things humans make can be when they’re cared for, and not sacrificed at the alter of an algorithm, attention, or apathy. Slow and steady, keeping focus on what they want.
For ultimate vanity, and because where else am I going to put this, here’s my Patreon badge. I mostly jest, but I also want to support them however I can, and by showing there’s actually other people out their supporting them, I hope to do a small part of normalizing putting your money where your mouth is.
EDIT: Complete sidebar, but I love how they do not create custom thumbnails for their youtube channel. Each video (eh, film) is well named, and the work speaks for itself.
