Watchcat has been so busy with all the bad guys running around your neighborhood, it is harder to know who to trust. So if you want to support your local Watchcat, you can now purchase an official Watchcat button! Click this linkhttps://ko-fi.com/s/76a4cf085b or the photo to see more.
There is a good reason why there has not been any post to the Watchcat Facebook page. My Instagram account was hacked in April 2024 and Facebook kicked the bad guys off, but then suspended my Facebook account as well as other FB pages I created.
Facebook suspended my personal FB account, not my instagram and claimed that I could plead my case before a certain date, however they never gave me the info or a link to where I could send my appeal. So months have gone by and nothing happened and I decided to open a new Facebook account, but now very aware that this could happen again. All my facebook posts and photos from 15 years are gone and every post I have read about other people in a similiar situation lost some of their history as well.
So now, I'm very careful what I am posting and have been trying to figure out how to reconnect to my original FB Watchcat page I had created before all this happened.
In the meantime, I have been posting a lot of videos to my YouTube channel Animateducated and I still have control and access to the YouTube channel Watchcat films. We haven't added any new content there because of the FB set back, but we hope to add some new eventually.
In the meantime, the Oscars are right around the corner and Watchcat thinks he knows who will win for the Best Animated feature film. Here are the nominees: Moana 2, Inside Out 2, The Wild Robot, Wallace & Gromit Vengeance Most Fowl and Flow.
Have you seen any of these films? Which film do you think will win the Oscar this year? Can you guess Watchcat's pick?

Welcome to the New Year of 2022, a lot has been changing and even though we haven't added any new "WatchCat" episodes to this blog, we are amazed to see that people are still popping by to look at it from time to time.
Greg has become the manager of a bar/videogame retro arcade called "Player One". He and his co director are still working on finishing their feature film, "Noir". They are in post production, get the visual effects worked on by a small team of pros who have done work the Marvel films. Its been a slow, but steady process which we hope will be completed this year, fingers crossed.
As for myself, I was working part time for AAA as a driving instructor while teaching part time animation. This was a great Summer job situation for me, but it ended when the Pandemic began. A freelance job popped up where a friend of a friend needed some 2D animation. In the film, the main children actor would be drawing a tiger while in class. As he does so, the drawing suddenly comes to life and plays with the kid's pencil like a kitten.
It was a great experience to return to animating 2D again and I later learned that the film starred Dennis Quade and Queen Latifah.
I also began teaching my animation classes again but online since the University had closed their campus and sent students home. It was difficult at first, but I believe it also showed the world that it is still possible to work from home. A lot of my friends working at major studios like Disney, moved their equipment to set up their new offices into their homes or apartments.
I also got another online opportunity to teach as a 2D mentor for an Australian based school called CG Spectrum. I gave it a try and discovered I really like teaching there because its not based on grades. Students take the lessons online and are given a weekly critique of their work from a mentor. I review their work and give them personal feedback to help them improve the projects they are working on.
