We began together, Maya Erdelyi, Paul Fraser, and myself, as a trio of folks interested in collaborations and what the folks we knew could do with just the rules of an Exquisite Corpse to hold it all together.  We pulled together between our friends and fellow artists to collect an impressive list of people who were willing to get together to make it happen.

Sound Artists (in order of "appearance"):

WHY WE NEED HELP ON KICKSTARTER:

The primary intention we had in making this film was to get it out to as many people as possible by submitting it to various screenings, in film festivals and art museums.  We want to show everyone that its possible to use everyone's collective genius to make a film, a piece of art, a song.  Our awards won't take long to deliver, because we just finished production!  Exciting stuff!

Festival submissions alone per festival are $50-$75 each.  The amount varies, and is not that expensive, but when you apply to 15 festivals, the price starts to take a toll.  Not only are we applying, but we also have to provide the festivals with different formats of the film depending on what they request, and it takes a bit of money to make those too.  Last but not least, we have invested some money out-of-pocket to make this happen, and it would be great to recoup our basic fees, like our Drop Box and our hard drive costs.  

There's no reason you won't be energized by this film, so consider it an investment in your own happiness (and in ours too) and click on an award to your right.  Thank you for being here!

Best!

FAQ

  • What elements of this film were actually made using an Exquisite Corpse game?

    Everything!  The animation was produced by each artist passing their last drawing (of 24-100 drawings) on to the next participant.  The music was made much the same way, but in layers rather than in sequence.  Each sound artist had the film to watch, and created two tracks of sound, and chose one to pass on to the next artist.  We are super happy with how it all came together!
