WHAT MAKES THIS PROJECT DIFFERENT
|
|
We are attempting something pretty extraordinary. We are combining several animation disciplines, to produce a unique ‘look’. 2D Characters, soft and vulnerable in a hard 3D and dangerous world. We will be targeting all major film festivals as well as several children's and fantasy themed festivals. This will also be pitched as a pilot.
This is an origin story about a young hero-to-be pitted against the back drop of a brutal place called "The Northern Lands" where legacy, honor, and identity mean everything; there can be no mistakes.
Join us on a project that will be very special. Familiar yet very creative.

| HOW THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED |
| We have made it through pre-production on our own with a 15K investment.
What we need now is funding to continue the fight into the animation stage. Largely, we need sponsors or animators willing to work with us to accomplish this project.
I have access to a MoCap stage, and state-of-the-art post facilities (including, Avid Nitris, a machine room, and foily stage once the project has been rendered, we will get this done to the highest standard.
Also we are looking for a web designer.
