Shooting: A Touching Moment

The end is within reach. Only seven shots remaining to be animated! One more on the ship, and a handful in the garden set.

Reached 100% Of First Funding Goal!

"I'm happy because we conceived of a project and realized it and that's beautiful. Getting things done, completing things, keeping your word on all your extravagant promises to the universe: that's magic." - Molly Crabapple

This is amazing. Within only 36 hours we've reached the funding goal we set ourselves! There has been so much heartfelt support coming in from all around the world for this animation, it's truly wonderful.

Tasty Delicious Celebratory Champagne!

We can now start production immediately. This means lots of computer work for now - prepping the drawings in photoshop and learning new stopmotion animation software.

This morning we took a couple of the puppets out to breakfast with us and they had a lovely time frolicking about in the world.

We were also featured on the ComiXology blog, and gave them an exclusive video of Molly drawing and talking about the giant paper city we are building. We'll be giving them more updates as production progresses. Read more and watch the video here: ComiXology Blog

A huge thank you once more to all of you who have helped us reach this moment! You're the best.

Here's a quick video video of the celebrations.

Skype Meeting!

Molly and Kim and Jim meet on Skype to plan more. Molly will draw and draw, Jim will do test animations, Kim will crack the whip and prepare the absinthe.

Things get meta silly when Jim and Kim and Molly start to use reflective objects (like whiskey flasks and iphones) to reflect the skype image back into the computer camera, creating loops of images that are travelling back and forth across the world.

The internet is amazing.
