Kickstarter

Hi guys!
It's been a while since I've updated you on ZMED. Here's the skinny! This is a long one...sorry.

- We got our t-shirts in yesterday! We're waiting for the last few pieces of art to be completed and then we're sending out your rewards! Some of you will receive your t-shirts before your posters and character prints, but don't worry - those are coming to you in a separate package in a few weeks!  I was so excited, I had to pop them in the mail to you right away :)

- As you know, the series has distribution on Machinima. The trailer launched on Sunday and we're at 95,000 views and counting. We've been getting some press from FEARnet, NerdBastards, Quiet Earth, ZombieRama, and more! Check it out: http://youtu.be/JbdfDzSa8z4

- Your generous donations helped us fund the first episode! It came out AWESOME! You really helped us get this ball rolling and for that we're extremely grateful. It premieres on Machinima on Monday!! http://www.youtube.com/machinima

- Releasing on Monday with the episode is a bonus video: Chance On Vampire Diaries - Before the zombie apocalypse, Chance was a star. These are bloopers from his appearance on the hit CW show The Vampire Diaries. http://www.youtube.com/sonicbunnyanimation

Scout...out

Hi guys,

We've been super busy getting this episode in the can!

I wanted to share with you some of our new zombies - check 'em out! A good majority of them are based on people who donated $200+ and got drawn into the show. A special thanks to them! They rock.

We will be sending out all of your rewards at the end of this month too!

Hope 2012 kicks 2011's ass...zombie-style.

ZOMBIE MURDER EXPLOSION DIE! was successfully funded! I wanted to personally thank all of your for donating your hard-earned dollas to our little dream. We actually exceeded our goal which is just awesome because we are now able to pay everyone who worked on the project for free. That makes us and them extremely grateful!

Right now, as you are reading this, we have 3 wonderful animators working on ZMED.  We've got 7 out of 46 shots complete - still a long way to go, but we will get there and it's really coming together! We will be giving you updates periodically through Kickstarter so you can follow our progress.

FOLLOW THE SHOW: Episode 101 will air in late January or early February on Machinima's YouTube channel. They have some really cool stuff, so you might want to subscribe now to see what they're all about. You can also subscribe to the Sonic Bunny Channel for bonus videos (behind the scenes, Robbie & Harold vlog, etc). AND you guessed it, we're on Facebook too.

We hope that we will get enough fans and subscribers to get sponsorship and do 5 more episodes in 2012!

So from the bottom of our undead hearts - THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US!

BY GRABTHAR'S HAMMER....IT'S OUR LAST DAY! (Bonus points if you can name the movie reference!)

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! You've been a huge help!

I attached a little taste of the animation so you can see how it's coming together. Also, Episode 101 features an epic arcade dance battle on our Dance Magic Dance machine! If you can tell...things might not go as planned.

We'd love to get a few more donations today so we can pay all the cool people who worked for us for free!

Email/Message about your rewards forth coming!

Hello, morning face :) I'm up way to early on Saturday morning, but that's what we workin' folks do. First of all, a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who donated! I can't believe we've exceeded our goal! The extra money means that our prop builder, storyboard artist, background artist, choreographer, and composer can get paid! That means a lot to us because working for free happens way too often in the indie film world.

I wanted to share with you our VERY FIRST PRESS. It comes by the way of Chance Raspberry who's an animator on The Simpsons. He does a monthly newsletter and featured Zombie Murder Explosion Die!

PRODUCTION: We have three talented animators working and the shots are coming in - they are looking bad-ass :) I wish I could share, but you'll have to wait until it's finished!

On Monday, you'll get an email from me requesting information on how to deliver your perks...so stay tuned!
