We would like your help to produce a action packed, story driven scifi animation.

Help us turn our Tech Watch Comic into an animated series! We are looking for funding for the first 3 webisodes! 

The above animation is the promo for our first graphic novel titled "The Children of the Phoenix" and is an example of the quality we are able to achieve. The full length animation is 3 minutes in length.  


THE TALENT

I, Radi Lewis, the creative mind behind 'The Children of the Phoenix' have teamed back up with Artist Ernesto Vicente and Colorist Mike Borromeo to bring Tech Watch issues 1 & 2 and now, with your funding, hopefully, a Tech Watch animated web series.

Tech Watch tells the story of a secret para-military group that goes around the world strong arming scientist into signing over their creations and working for the groups founder Isaiah Grey. When the scientist rejects his offer, he sends in his black ops team known as A.N.T.S. (Assault Nano Tech Soldiers) to recover the invention then erase any traces of the device and the scientist that created it, which usually spells death for the inventor. Eventually he crosses path with a scientist who is not only willing to sacrifice his life for his beliefs but, more over, is ready and willing to go head to head with Isaiah and his A.N.T.S..

This story promises to be action packed with really great art work to back it up. Ernesto Vicente really does a great job of bringing the characters and technology to life with his illustrations, while Mike Borromeo adds his finishing touches keeping the coloring and tones in tune with the story. Tech Watch is a different type of story in that it doesn't have a clearly visible hero to root for. Tech Watch tells the story from the prospective of the would be bad guys. 

 So if you like military style sci-fi drama's with larger thank life characters then this is the story for you. 

Why you should donate? 

Tech Watch is a beautiful blend of action, art and storytelling. The art and colors from the comic series are beautifully rendered and really make each scene come to life. Because of how great the art was received we are going to maintain that highly detailed art and transfer it over to the web series. So if you like mechs, advanced technology and tons of military style action then look no further.

SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

Over in the top right corner of this page is the goal. That's how much I will need to complete the first three webisodes of TechWatch. If the goal is reached, production on the project will begin immediately. If the goal is not reached before the end of the 30 days, though, then you will not be charged anything. You only pay if the project reaches its goal before the deadline!

WHAT DO I GET OUT OF IT?

Obviously, I wouldn't expect you to give away your hard-earned money for free! Participating in this Kickstarter project will net you lots of nifty rewards, many of which are available nowhere else. Along the right side, you will see categories, with dollar amounts. By pledging that amount, you will receive the rewards listed in their respective boxes. Here are some examples of rewards:

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GET FUNDED?

If we are fortunate enough to reach our funding goals we will begin pre-production work immediately. Because you guys are our investors you will receive weekly updates on our progress via email and videoblog! Once pre-production has been started our next step will be to start mailing out the rewards to you the investors. 

WHAT IF WE BEAT THE GOAL?

Beating the goal would be awesome because it means we will be able to produce even more webisodes That also means a lot of writers and animators looking to get their feet wet in animation will be able to do just that.
