I am producing and directing an animated series called "Lunatics!" about the first permanent settlers on the Moon, which attempts to be as realistic about this as possible, drawing on present-day technology, and much of the organizational culture around it.
It's a *free-culture* project: CC By-SA 4.0 licensed for episodes and most behind-the-scenes content. And an open movie project in that source files from Blender, Kdenlive, etc will be released with episodes. For this to be truly meaningful, we also rely on *free/open-source* software to produce it.
There is a #Pixelfed for the project itself:
@lunatics
and of course, a website for the series:
https://lunatics.tv
and the project:
https://lunaticsproject.org
This is my "professional" account, so I focus on topics related to my project: #Animation #Film #ScienceFiction #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #Copyright #Copyleft #Art #Blender #Kdenlive #CreativeCommons #FreeCulture #ShareAlike
I often post little progress reports and work-in-progress here.
I try to avoid partisan politics and other acrimonious subjects. Also trying to watch my language here, keeping it PG-13, let's say.
If you would like a less filtered version of me, I do have a personal #Hometown (basically #Mastodon but not quite) account as well:

NOTE: #Misskey allows a longer post length and also up to 16 images per post, which makes it a lot more convenient for my project posts. Buy you'll only see the first 4 images on Mastodon (there are 7 on this post, for example). There are subtle differences like this between #Fediverse platforms!
