(click for sound :>) I made this little tune here and then for some reason threw some of my art and animations at it to make some kind of diashow music video. What do you think?

Hi! I’m Bruneburg, an animator and film director currently developing a small anthology series of animated shorts as my master graduation project. Have you seen something on my blog that sparked joy (or fear) in you and feel like helping me keep making and posting things? There’s ways of doing that via Ko-Fi, Redbubble, and Patreon. Reblogs help too! Thank you dearly.

beastly reminder

Almost. Years ago my computer suddenly stopped working and lost everything on it. Fortunately a relatively recent backup still existed bc of my family, a recent parts switch, and dumb luck. But last year a friend of mine got hacked and lost close to everything he had done creatively in the last 17-ish years. Art. Novels in progress. Entire conlangs. DnD character Sheets. Music he had made. All gone. He never backed any of it up. Few months later I started this habit (or ritual, almost) of drawing a reminder beast any time I would make a full complete backup. In hopes that seeing these things might remind others and myself. (Another factor here is that I am an animator and some of the stuff on my computer took literal years to make. And the film university I go to urges us to take this stuff seriously, too.)

Remember with backups the 3-2-1 rule:

Keep at least three (3) copies of data.

Store two (2) backup copies on different storage media.

Store one (1) backup copy offsite.

So, for instance, I have the data from my computer backed up to both a local file server and a cloud storage solution. It does it all automatically, and if my computer dies, I still have everything. If my cloud storage solution goes out of business, I still have my local backup. If my home burns down I also still have all of my data

3-2-1

Oh my god I love this. so. much.
