Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on May 8, 2011.

Thanks Again

Update #3 · Apr 28, 2011 · comment

Wowzers! We’ve reached our Kickstarter goal! “THANK YOUUU!” to all of the contributors and people who linked to us, friends, family, etc.: again: Thank you!

Well, we have a little over a week left in our campaign and we’re still gratefully accepting pledges to assist in this animated undertaking. Funding that goes above our goal will allow us to push the project along beyond our initial hopes — round out our equipment needs, allow us to draw even more of the movie, and even dive into the dark art of casting.  Yes, unlike my other animations, this one will have actual voices!  Human voices shooting through the drawing masks!  It'll make or break it as an emotional experience.

We really tried our best to muster up interesting incentives here: There’s still a couple spots open if you’d like to be drawn into the movie! No acting experience necessary! Or, with a forty dollar donation: a print that, after the campaign, will not be available again, ever! Same goes for the t-shirts! And, of course, we’ll be mailing out those postcards to everyone! Postcards make excellent bookmarks! Last chance!  Thanks again!
