What defines Realm as a company is never being afraid to push ourselves and not being afraid of the big project or goal. One of the mottos we live by is that of Michaelangelo "the danger of mankind is not that he will aim too high and fail, but he will aim too low and succeed"

    Stuart, that's a really good idea. It would be a great way for users to connect with each other - and more importantly a place where we can all see these lights grow and develop! Lucas - it's coming! We are working to get the LED plans out over this weekend, then it's all steam ahead on compiling the action pack (and Zomblies) for delivery.

    Hi All We have been receiving a lot of messages regarding the LED Plans and so we thought it sensible to give you an update. For those who don't know, we have been experiencing problems with our suppliers meaning we are no longer comfortable recommending them to our backers. Unfortunately this change in suppliers has meant a redesign for the dimmer circuit which means its not as simple as releasing the plans just without the recommendations. However, it is not OK that the plans have been delayed this long and so we have come to a solution. We will be releasing a primary version of the plans in the form of a video and a PDF document with the diagrams and construction materials you will need. These plans will be incomplete since they will not contain the dimmer but as soon as it is possible for us to release patches we will update you all with this addition. We were hesitant to release incomplete plans since we wanted to release something bullet proof. This way, you will be able to construct a fully working set of LED lights that work from battery power but like kenos you won't be able to dim them. Not the most elegant of solutions but this delay doesn't feel right when everyone has been so generous to us. We thank you for your understanding Mark Ruddick Production The Underwater Realm

    Oh no! We have been answering emails and tweets but completely missed this comments section - so sorry guys. The Lighting Masterclass has been delivered electronically. Anyone who has been expecting the masterclass and has not yet received it, please ensure you have filled out the form we sent out on Jan 6th over at: https://docs.google.com/a/realm-pictures.com/spreadsheet/viewform?pli=1&formkey=dExVSXFPdHpqeWhra1ZpSEp2TGZCZ0E6MQ#gid=0 As for the LED plans, we have been quite badly let down by a supplier, and we are not happy to work with them or to suggest them to all of our backers. We have thankfully now found a replacement and will be delivering the LED plans asap. Really very sorry for the delay - we just want to make sure that we give you plans for a set of lights that will work hard for you for a long time to come. Please feel free to get in touch with us directly at team@realm-pictures.com - silence is not deliberate, just an unfortunate by-product of being so (amazingly) busy thanks to all you guys.

    International Cinema Screenings for all backers!

    UNBELIEVABLE!! We have smashed the $80 target for 3D!

    We have been racking our brains as to how we can give something back to all our supporters. If we can hit $90k we will host private cinema screenings for each and every backer (with +1's) in London, LA and New York!

    These films are EPIC, they will be shot on EPIC and even in 3D! Seeing these films in a theatre will be AMAZING!

    Do we dare to dream? Can we make it happen?

        Your enthusiasm is infectious (but in a good way, not a living dead kind of way). I can't wait to see the film. Here's to hitting $90k.
