We are minutes away from pushing the button to launch our 2013 production Kickstarter campaign!
I’ve been going through last-minute checks of our Kickstarter campaign, making sure we’ve got all our ducks in a row. This is an ambitious goal for us — we need to raise $42,000 to pay for finishing the models and animation on our pilot episode. That will probably take a couple of thousand backers, so we’re going to have to work very hard to promote the campaign if we’re going to succeed.
For us the stakes are high — it would be difficult, if not impossible to ever finish the pilot if we don’t get past this point. On
the other hand, if we do, the path towards launching the series should get much easier (since 3D animation requires a lot of front-loaded expenses, the first episode is going to be the hardest).
As I’ve mentioned, it will be a big help if we can get some backing early. Kickstarters that get backed on the first day or two get a lot more attention — and therefore get seen by more potential backers. We even have a special “early-bird” DVD package for up to 50 people, with a signed card, for just $20 as a special incentive for early-backers.
Thank you so much to all of you who’ve supported us this far. I really hope we’ll be animating before the year is out!
