Animator draws parallel between X's AI film community and the early-2000s Drawing Board forum that produced top talent
DavidmComfort · x · 2026-10-23
Animator Gabriel Valles compares today's AI film and animation community on X to the Drawing Board, the message board Shane Glines started in the early 2000s that produced artists who went on to create TV shows, movies, and NYT bestselling graphic novels.
His observation: many humble creators on X right now don't realize how good they are, and if they stick with it, several will go on to do great things. The post resonated as an optimistic take on the emerging AI filmmaking ecosystem.
