funded… and beyond!

Wow. We did it! YOU did it! This film is gonna happen. We’ve met our funding goal, pushed across the threshold by a generous pledge from none other than director Guillermo del Toro(what!), and the support continues to roll in. So, what next?

Films are hungry beasts and will devour as much budget as they can. We want use the extra funding to make this animation faster and better. Our new stretch goal is $65,000 – reaching that threshold will allow us to level up the production in a lot of ways, including:

• Bring an additional animator on board! More hands means we can finish the film faster, and have more animation in each scene. This will make a huge difference.
• More studio space! A black out room dedicated to just animating, saving on set up time and allowing construction and shooting to run in parallel.
• Time in a studio to record live musicians for the score!

We only have one shot at this, and we want put these funds into to making the best film possible to share with you all.

NEW ART REWARD!

We have some lovely new rewards coming up, the first of which has just been added to the campaign! With the project going so well, Ellen has been working hard on preproduction art and we have a new tier of concept sketches available as rewards. These will be graphite landscape sketches of the backgrounds we are developing for the film. If you’re keen, get in quick – the other concept paintings got snapped up fast!
