      Pretty sure they did one for free and it got round to the IRGC and they said “Quit your day job, You got a job making movies now”

      More likely recruitment from the computer graphics industry. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Chinese are involved, but my impression is it’s just a very talented individual in Iran who wants their identity secret for work purposes. The message of “a mass-consciousness revolution will unseat a US leader who acts against national interest” is not compelling to me tbqh. The US military is acting in ruling class interest, the “working class” there is mostly allied with them. Israel serves their purposes well. It’s a good meat shield, better than Ukraine. Can’t deny those are some really nice-looking videos on short notice though. All kinds of reflective textures and shit. That’s why I don’t think it was necessarily an IRGC original project & there is a pseudonym for the head of the animation team.
