I’ve introduced most of the team already, but of course, I need to introduce myself as well: I’ve been interested in space technology and science-fiction since I was a small child, and I’ve been actively involved in free-culture since before the word was coined. Lunatics! is a unique opportunity for me to put all of my skills and training to work on one project. As both an astronomer and a life-long space advocate, I’m very familiar with the reasons for going to the Moon and settling there (and also Mars and other places). And I have some pretty good ideas about how it can be done, having seen a lot of different proposals over the years.
Sathish Kumar, who was part of our Summer 2012 modeling team , has branched out on his own with his new studio, Spark Multimedia. He and his company will be partnering with us on creating many of the large virtual sets we need to create for Lunatics!
We’ve cut a new trailer for the pilot episode project, in response to fan feedback. This one is much shorter and more energetic — hopefully catchier. We’ve also revised the Kickstarter video to start with this 6-second teaser. The old trailer/teaser/demo/short is still available on YouTube and Vimeo, of course.
