In this open discussion episode, host Sam Judelson leads conversations about personal creative spaces, inspiration sources, and community resilience.
This episode covers:
- Workspace personalization: How motion designers curate their environments with meaningful objects, from family artwork and memorial pieces to collections like vintage Nancy Drew books, field notes, and anime figurines that fuel creativity
- Community over negativity: Intentionally creating positive spaces by avoiding divisive online engagement, prioritizing people over algorithms, and actively promoting fellow creatives instead of participating in fear-driven discussions
- AI narrative construction: Understanding how tech industry narratives are pushed by design to create urgency around adoption, while recognizing that community power remains strong when people band together
- Books and analog inspiration: Seeking creative fuel from physical media including art books (Spider-Man 2 concept art, Cuphead), typography guides, and philosophy texts rather than feeding from the same online sources
- Strategic online boundaries: Recognizing when social media arguments serve engagement rather than truth, choosing to invest energy in direct relationships and meaningful work instead of public debates
- Peer support systems: Building authentic relationships where creatives can share unfiltered experiences and seek advice without judgment, emphasizing that helping others grows the entire community
Upcoming Events:
- Game night Wednesday, December 3rd - Details on Discord
- Next week's call: Bring paper and pencil for a creative exercise led by Sam
