Hello All!

It's been a few weeks since the last update and we wanted to fill you all in on what's been going on. 

First and foremost we raised an additional $4,000! A huge thank you to everyone who upgraded and passed the link on, this funding has allowed us to add some flourishes we think you are going to love (once more, if you upgraded please make sure your paypal name and kickstarter name match, or warn us, otherwise we won't be able to upgrade you!).

Due to the re-casting of a smaller role, we had to reshoot a few scenes. Since we'd already moved out of the warehouse space, we had to rebuild tiny portions of the set in a small photo studio. Each set was built just large enough to fill the frame. The shoot went fantastically, and we accomplished all ten shots that we needed.

We've also been making steady progress on the ship model although it has been taking a bit longer than expected. We've enlisted the help of master model builder Charles Adams, who literally wrote the book on turning computer generated models into real ones, and his friend Rick Ingalsbe will be helping us with painting it. In the process of turning our concept art into something that can be built Charles has added some pretty awesome details. 

There will be more updates on this front as we progress. The project is moving steadily forward, and are still hoping for a summer release!

We have reviewed all of the footage and are super excited! Two months of insanity and hard work have really paid off. Now, as we turn to the final stages of the project, we find ourselves with a problem.

As it stands right now we still have enough money left to finish the movie, but it will be tight. We have some really ambitious ideas for the miniature sequences we might not be able to do, and the Beyond the Infinite episode will have to be heavily simplified. We can pull it off, but we are going to have to settle for less than we had envisioned.

Essentially, if we could raise another $5,000 it would make the difference between getting this done and knocking it out of the park.

So here's the plan: we've set up a Paypal donation page on our website. All Paypal donors qualify for the kickstarter rewards and will receive a brand new reward: a digital download of the original graphics we designed for the bridge control displays (see the clip below for examples).

Here's what you guys can do: spread the word! Let everyone know that they can still get in on the project and rewards. If you want to upgrade your existing pledge, you can do it through our website as well (any amount gets you the graphics). The beauty of crowd funding is that every little bit goes a long way.

We are dedicated to making this movie all it can be. We have used every opportunity to push and expand our vision, getting the max out of the resources given to us.  Now with one last effort, we believe can finish in style and round off a really exciting project.

Thanks again for all of your support!

********INCOMING UPDATE********

Hello Friends, Fans and Supporters!

By the time you read this we will have finished principal photography! It appears that the intensity of this production created a strange time dilation effect in which we have undergone a seemingly brief period of complete insanity and the rest of the world has experienced two full months.

The full extent of what was achieved during this mission is still being determined, but already we have some very promising results!

On the downside, we are generally over budget and behind schedule, meaning release and rewards are going to have to be pushed back a bit

In the meantime we threw together a couple of behind the scenes treats for you guys!

We will be posting more updates as we sort through and compile all of our data.

[Here is a brief behind-the-scenes clip showing some of what we have accomplished in the past two months]

Hello dear supporters!

As February gets ever-increasingly closer, we've been working on set design, final story-boarding, and even testing out pieces of our set in the living room. Walking through half of a hallway of a spaceship en route to the kitchen is an exciting reminder of what's to come. This week will be the last one of comparable quiet before we start shooting next month. We've also made some tremendous progress in producing layouts for the sets, and for this update, we'd love to share some of our designs with you. Stay tuned for more!
