About this project
Hey hey! I've created a lot of animated projects (My Life at 26, A Guy and his Beaver, Fantasy World) and I usually do it all out of my own pocket, but now I need help funding my latest series. I have already completed the first 3 episodes of TIME TRAVELING FINGER, which you can watch at www.GiantPancake.com, but I need funding to finish the remaining 2 episodes of the series. So I encourage you to watch what I've already made, and if you like what you see and want to know how the series will end, please contribute to the cause.
I work in traditional 2D animation, so I draw everything on paper before it goes into the computer. It's a long, time-consuming process, so your donations will cover supplies (like paper and equipment) and the actual production of the project (drawing, coloring, voiceover).
What do you get, other than enormous amounts of entertainment? Rewards for donating! I'm offering credits on my site (GiantPancake.com), a chance to be turned into a cartoon character appearing in one of the remaining episodes of TIME TRAVELING FINGER, original, autographed animation cels from the episodes, and lunch with me!
If you can't afford to donate but you still like my toons, tell your friends! Word of mouth is just as valuable as money (well, almost as valuable).
Thanks!
