Minifigs and more

Update #9 · Sep 1, 2011 · 1 comment

Hello backers,

Here's a quick update on the progress of "Robots!" Last week I passed the half-way mark (animation on part 4 just reached 50% and there are 7 parts altogether). Now that I'm back in the animating groove (with the wonderful new equipment your generous donations allowed me to purchase) the second half should be finished much faster than the first half.

I recently designed the minifigs of the $100 backers (see picture below). I can't wait to start animating them into scenes and discovering their on-screen personas. They will start to make appearances in part 5, which I will hopefully start filming later this month.

Here is an updated timeline based on my current estimates

Part 4 - "Robots, Robots Robots!"
In production - (over 70 man-hours of animating time logged so far)
Here's an exclusive SNEAK PEEK of the first half
Expected Completion - Mid September

Part 5 - "The End of Sports"
Expected Completion - October

Part 6 - "Police Show Commercial"
Expected Completion - November

Part 7 - "The Orange-Green War Continues"
Expected Completion - December

DVDs finalized and shipped out - January 2012 - Happy New Year!
Thanks for your continued patience through this process. Stop-motion animation is quick to watch, but slow to make.

With endless gratitude for your support,
David M Pickett
