any updates?
Any news? The last update is already 3 months old...
@Sharp
Yep! We just sent out a big update to all backers 3 weeks ago. Click under the blue "Updates" tab, towards the top of the screen. Thanks!
Hey there. Any updates as of late? Or a predicted date for the finishing of the film?

See that 25 at the end of $109,025? That's there because I increased my pledge by $25 in the last minutes. That's my $25. You're welcome. :)
One hundred nine thousand. Well done, comic fans.
Congratulations, everyone!
Holy mackerel! Congratulations, team Stripped! I'm so impressed with your fund raising abilities. Can't wait to see the film.
Is $109,025 close enough for all those nifty extras?
Congratulations!
if only i had more money id have gone all the way to $500! grats guys!!
good work everyone!
Awww... Well, missing the ULTIMATE goal by $975 isn't too painful, I guess. At least I upped my pledge last night. And WOOO! 109k!
Yep, finally upped my pledge too. Make me proud guys. :)
I upped my pledge to get a second DVD to give as a gift; I added a few dollars on top of that to bring things (temporarily) to an aesthetically pleasing nice round number. It's so great seeing the odd numbers at the end of the total and imagining other people pushing things by just a dollar or two more.
Less than 2k to go! I've upped my pledge!
Let's make this happen!
'k. My pledge has been upped, too.
ok im going as high as i can go! *kermit the frog freak out* donate!!
Ok, ok, I upped my pledge! Make Guigar stop with the twitter feed PUNS!
Upped my pledge.
Oh heck, I saw someone just mention they updated their pledge because of Web Comics Weekly. That's enough to get me to shift up to the $50 range ; )
I know it's a bit late (with just four hours left), but I finally posted information about the project on Facebook. Maybe a couple of my friends will come through.
Okay, I added another $5. Dave/Fred, I'm guessing that if you don't reach the $110K (only about $5K short as I'm writing, with about 5 hours to go), it means you'll spend $25K instead of $30K on the additional animations?
Like others, I'm hoping you manage to convince Bill Watterson. How about Gary Larson, Lynn Johnston, or Bill Amend?
just upped my pledge to £85 for the 75 reward, were so close!!
cant wait for my download!
I also upped my pledge by $5. Come on people!
Dave, just upped my pledged by $5 because you put out a WW for us last week :) Super helpful, and I can't wait to see this project I've been teased with for so long!
Also, if you want to interview (skype, whatevs) any of us new on the scene artists for that bottom up perspective, I'd be happy to make myself available. ^_^;;
Can't wait for this. Happy to support the cause!
Any chance you guys are gonna meet with the Explosm team?
I *just* upped my pledge by $5.
Come on everyone, follow me!
I've thought about doing this for a while and FINALLY pledged. Can't wait to see the final film! I'll try to get my two teenagers to watch with me, but I can't promise.
Hey, if everyone added $1 to their pledge, we'd be over $100k!
Aaaand if everyone adds $5 to their pledge, we'll have met the ULTIMATE GOAL! ;)
I've got my finger's crossed! There's still time!!
Hi Matt: I'm happy to say we're planning to sit down with Mike, Jerry & Robert. Thanks for supportin' the film!
- Dave
I can't wait for this thing to be done! And I can't believe how many people you interviewed. Did you skip Mike & Jerry of Penny-Arcade on purpose? Also I thinkg Robert Khoo would've had some interesting things to say. Then again they've got enough video on PATV. But I digress... Looking forward to it gentlemen, looking forward to it.
No worries, Sophia: Thanks again for supporting the doc, and for the kind words! Woooo -- we're gettin' close!
Thanks Dave! It was just a semi-random wondering thought. :) WE ARE SO CLOSE!!! Go Dave and Fred, go!
Stephen: Thank you! That's very nice of you!
Horizon: I highly, highly doubt Watterson would ever sit down with us on camera, but we're going to extend the invite anyway.
Alex: Not yet, no.
- Dave
Do you have an idea about what the poster will look like for the $100+ pledge groups?
You guys really, really need to try to interview Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes) and Chris Onstad (Achewood). Neither will happen, probably, but if you got either, it would be an amazing coup.
It's really easy to add a few dollars to your pledge - just click "Manage Your Pledge", edit the amount (and possibly your reward selection), then you will be asked to confirm the new amount when you click 'Continue' at the bottom of the page.
Hi Sophia!
The $100 pledge, and anything above the $100 pledge, will build off the level *just above it*: The DVD + book combo.
When it comes time to ship everything out, we'll be sending out a questionaire for backers to provide current shipping addresses, etc. At that point, if you have a huge, huge preference for the other option...we'll do what we can to make it happen.
(Here's the broader, honest answer is: I'm hesitant to super-pinky-swear on it, as the shipping is going to be logistically tricky. We''re going to have *thousands* of items to fulfill when the time comes, checking off a huge list of (to date) 2,115 backers...so a unique request might fall through the cracks.
But we will try, if that's your wish, yes! :)
And thank you for your support of the film: We really, really appreciate it!
- Dave
Now that you have 2 $50 reward options, does "all of the above" for $100+ still mean the "signed, signed" $50 option, or is there going to be a choice between the two DVDs vs the signed DVD+signed book?
Jasper: I'm happy to do it!
Jack M: Thanks for checking it out, and for supporting the film!
Stavros: I just did a check, and you'll be happy to know there are THREE Stavros' backing the project!
- Dave
Lots of takers for the signed copy. Dave's arm is going to break off.
found this on Looking For Group (Lar deSouza retweeted it)
I can't help myself but help!
Oho! Another Stavros backing this film! Greeks represent! (also, belated happy name day, bro).
David: Woohoo!
Stavros: Thank you!
Eric: We just put one up, here: http://ww.libsyn.com/
Thank you all for continuing to spread the word. It means the world to Fred and I!
- Dave
Woohoo, I'm the 2,000th backer!
Came in through Zach Weiner's SMBC comic, and I am absolutely thrilled about it.
I just can't wait to get that DVD on my hands.
