Our Story
My name is Rhys MT, and when I was 8yrs old -
everything in the world was Multicoloured. I truly believed that there was a place called Multicoloured Land where below the surface of
anything - was a million and one different colours. If I saw a
rabbit, a house, a car, a man, a woman in fact anything I could dream of I saw in Multicolours
Then when I was 12, a teacher pointed out that
there were only three prime colours in the world, and all the colours were made
up of these, so my dreams of Multicolours shattered into a million different
pieces
My childhood ended then
Now I'm trying to get the Colour back, and to reawaken Multicolured Land in the world through the story - Colour Bleed
Colour Bleed is a 3 part transmedia story that
combines dance with a well crafted script and spans Film, ARG, Social Media,
Graphic Novels and Live Performances to create an enthralling, exciting, mind
blowing experience.
It's the story of two people trying to dance the colour
back into the terrible evil of a grey world
The Impact
I want
to bring colour back into everyones lives. We're all struggling to live through
the financial depression plaguing our world - I want to give the world a moment
to escape into the joy of experiencing in Multicolour Land!
What We Need & What You Get
In
this campaign, we are trying to raise money to create the first stage of Colour
Bleed
This
first stage will be three fold -
- To shoot a short film that tells the story of a dance battle to bring the sparks of colour back to Multicolour Land
- To create a live dance performances - of colour battles, to be taken around nightclubs and youth centres around Wales (which will be filmed and spread through the online social sphere)
- To create a short Graphic Novel that tells the story of the colour crystal - that powers Multicolour Land
For
the short film, we have already secured the services of Dawns TAN the largest
community dance organisation in Wales, alongside a highly experienced
choreographer, and will be funding their involvement ourselves
We
need to raise funds to shoot the short film (locations, equipment, transport,
food) and to this end we are looking for $3000 to fund this strand
For the
live dance performances, as above, we have secured the services of Dawns TAN -
the largest community dance organisation in Wales, alongside a highly
experienced choreographer. We will be funding the filming of these performances
ourselves
For
the rehearsal costs, transport, venue hire, food and equipment - we are looking
for $2000
For
the short graphic novel, we are already in discussions with several up and
coming graphic artists, and are looking for $2000 to fund this part
The
overall goal for stage 1 is $7000
As
this is a dream to bring the colour back into the world - if we don't reach the
goal, we will use any funds raised to shoot short colour dance films, using
mobile phones, to begin spreading the idea of colour throughout the social
online sphere. we will also use any funds available to create taster colour
dance battles in various live venues around Wales
Further stages for the project include an ARG - where players will try to gain access to the Grey Lands nerve centre - culminating in a live performance streamed across the web
There will also be a series of Interactive Films (where the viewer will be given the opportunity to follow the story of their own chosen character, alongside playing that character in an online game set in Multicolour Land)
There will also be a Pervasive Game - for players to experience anywhere in the World
Further plans include iPad apps, console dance mat games and a large scale worldwide participatory Multicoloured Dance performance in venues across the world & streamed online
