This was a series of posts I'd created in 2016 to try and illustrate to people how important Python is to the film industry by focusing on animation and VFX pipelines, and showing the kinds of projects a developer can contribute to a film. These have been updated so I figured it was worth sharing again. Updates: * Added some more projects that I'd written up a while ago but not posted about * Updated the content in the old posts to be a little more detailed * Added more behind the scenes videos * Moved to a new site (using Gatsby instead of WordPress)

Cool! Maybe you should have titled it as a Show HN? Fwiw, a lot of the images / references aren’t showing up for me (Mobile Safari). Hug of death?

  I thought Show HN was more for projects? Or is it for just sharing any personal content? I was unclear on that. Edit: looked it up https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html) and it says "blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead." And I am not sure why the images aren't loading. The server isn't under any undue load it looks like, but Someone did mention that if javascript was blocked some content would 404. It could be that perhaps? I'll have to test the site more, but thank you for letting me know!

Just a heads up, for me the "posts in this series" links (towards the top of the page) all return 404 errors. It seems they have an extra "python-for-feature-film/" in the URL. This happens when I have javascript blocked. If I enable javascript the links appaear to be re-written to be valid.

  Oh that's good to know. Apologies for that bug. I'll have to see how noscript compliant I can make the site since it's based on gatsby, which does some amount of client side rehydration.
