About this project
"Redneck Ninjas" is the 3rd independent project that I've created. The next step is to produce a fully animated "short," that will showcase the idea, while introducing the 5 core family members.
Your Pledge will be used to pay the production team at Powerhouse Animation in Austin, TX. www.powerhouseanimation.com
They have the perfect blend of traditional 2D animation illustrators, and Adobe Flash Animation savvy to render my "animatic," or rough edit used to guide animation artists, into a fully animated piece.
Upon completion, the project be:
1) Hosted on YouTube www.youtube.com/user/drewchoice
2) Promoted on Facebook www.facebook.com/pages/UniquePublications-LLC/352221295062...
In 2006, after growing bored with the traditional "Hollywood" audition process, I created UniquePublications LLC to produce my own animated shorts. The goal is to promote both my Voice Over Acting talents and unique style of creativity, so that I can work in Entertainment.

Drew Bates was a dreamer, always with his head in the clouds. His friends and family described him as…Unique. Then one day, he discovered he could make a really cool robot voice by speaking into his drinking cup. With sounds bellowing in his ears, he thought, “I want to do this everyday." He watched countless science fiction movies, and cartoons, played video games, read Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, and National Geographic, until he found a sci-fi book at a school book-fair about robots.
Drew bought that book, devouring its content. He took it to school, showing it to everyone that would look. Alas, since most 5th graders weren’t into it, he tried sharing it with his teachers; only his English teacher responded. “Do a book report about it," she boringly replied. So he set out to writing his report, and when he got to the end, he realized that it wasn’t enough. After collecting his thoughts, he searched the house for supplies, and went to his father’s garage possessed, like a hell-bent mad-scientist in his laboratory. Using a cardboard box, a shoe-box, wood strips, coat-hanger wire, wooden dowels, wagon wheels, Plexiglas, nuts, bolts, nails, silver and red spray paint, even a light-switch, bulb and receptacle, he created a robot. Then using a tape-cassette recorder, he performed his book report using his robot voice, and ad-libbing “if you don’t give Drew an A, I, the robot, will destroy you.”
Drew founded UniquePublications LLC in 2006 to create spec animation concepts. Not your average concepts, but…Unique.
