We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on September 3, 2012.

UPDATE #2 - WE DID IT!

Update #2 · Aug 17, 2012 · 3 comments

We hit our goal in 12 days! Thanks to everyone who contributed from around the world. We are profoundly grateful. The SGU lair is buzzing with activity as we write the new scripts. I even specked out some trees that will be turned into new spears and atlatls! 

Now that we have our base funding we can continue to improve the overall quality of the series with more support. There are many ways to improve production value, such as bringing on a professional director of photography, improving the quality of our costumes, sets and props, hiring more extras and getting a behind the scenes cameraman…you get the idea.. Our budget dictates how far we go with all of these. I also want to add special effects to an interesting part of the story that will make it so cool! The bottom line is that the more support we get the more we can do - we have no limit of ideas and enthusiasm.

      "The SGU lair"? I thought it was called the Skeptilair. :)

      Thank you for this, I fully support it! If you don't mind a comment that I left of Steve's site:

      The “stupid” cavemen are probably represented by the exact demographic that these videos, in large part, are trying to target–”hick” America. It might actually be better to have the “snobby” other cavemen “so sure of themselves,” and have a hick-ish main character as the only one with his head on straight. This would subtly allow people to overtly bash the educated liberals, but give them a sense of superiority in that they get the real message. And, of course, the real message is exactly what we’re trying to drive home.
      The protagonist comes off a bit know-it-all, and instead of sympathizing with him, I found myself slightly annoyed.
