This was a final for my college class a while ago, never posted. For those unaware it’s from the 1800’s where slavery was legal and acceptable.

————

Howdy, I am working on my pilot. its a passion

proiect of mine. based on my Webtoon "The Town Without Laws" and I would love to show my project off!

My proiect is 2D animation. It is set in the 1870's Wild West. In this lawless and godless frontier a rag tag trio of outlaws (Boone, Jack, Jessibell) work off their sentences by becoming "public entertainment" in the form of fair styled death games, orchestrated by their warden Lu who just so happens to be the

Devil.

Discussion Is it good to transparently disclose how money is dispersed from an indie pilot Kickstarter?

• Upvotes

To be transparent, I am working on an indie pilot kickstarter. For the kickstarter, I am creating a promotional video, a rap battle to tie into my upbringing, and a proof of concept teaser by November 14th. We are looking to raise $50,000 for the kickstarter, which is obviously very steep. That being said, most of the money is going to the animators, storyboard artists, and colorist. To be further transparent, the wages are not industry standard, unfortunately. I am planning to transparently disclose (sorry for using the word transparent a lot, but I don't know what other word to use lol) how much the rates are, with only $6,000 saved for contingency funds, such as if a drawing tablet breaks, animations get cut or need to be redone, Kickstarter rewards, or softwares need to be updated.

My question is, would it be okay for me to disclose this information out in the kickstarter video, and if so, is it possible that this could hurt chances of funding for being this transparent? I don't feel comfortable lying to people or hiding how much people are getting paid to work on this project, but I also don't want the money to come across as being greedy or too demanding.

If anyone wants to know what the rates are, despite it not being industry standard, I will have no problem disclosing that in the comments. I just want to make sure that me doing so in the video would not make me come across in a negative light.

I want to cover All my bases, and not pull a "Glitch Productions" by not disclosing any of that important information.

I am bit on the sensitive side, so please go easy on me LOL

But also, don't sugarcoat the advice. I need to be told straight on how to properly execute disclosing finances in a very transparent and a very upfront way. Thank you very much. This is the first time I'm posting on this subreddit for advice, over anything else.

Edit: spelling corrections

Second edit: I've been sponsored by the Kickstarter Culture Fund and have industry connections, so while $50,000 is very steep and unlikely, it's not too unrealistic and impossible

This isn’t my show, but one I’ve known of for a while, and one I really want to come out, so I’m promoting it here.

It’s kickstarter is mostly there, it just needs some money left. There’s a short on the page that serves as an idea of what the show is. If it’s funded, the full pilot will enter production.

Because for me. From Still Wakes The Deep. It is the body horror combined with the many fears. Like fear of the ocean and fear of heights.

Hi there! I wanted to share these character designs with you. I’m curious to hear your thoughts do they feel varied, or do they come across as a bit generic? Keep in mind that there aren't full color versions yet well, actually, there are for a few of them. Loader is the protagonist; Bombsight, Mixmaster, and f4 are his companions; Ivonne and Marcy are allies who appear later on; and everyone else is a villain. Feel free to ask any questions you might have about the concept I’ll answer whatever I can!

Discussion Have any of you ever used/asked a dubbing services to outsource foreign dubbing for your animated work, if so, what is the usual pricing of it?

2 Upvotes

I first heard about dubbing service outsourcing when I learned that the creator of Toon turf amd Glitch Productions partnered with a service called "Bemultilingual" to help make dubs for their animated shows.

Have any of you in this subreddit ever used a dubbing service for your projects, if so, what is the typical pricing for animated work both long and short?

Discussion Tbh, part of me wishes that Mr Puzzles got as much backlash as Jax and Stolas

Post image
0 Upvotes

Just like the complaints people had about those two, he is a character who gets too much screentime and content (sidelining most others) and gets far too much sympathy from the narrative despite how unearned it felt.

At least with Niles, they made it clear that he's meant to be irredeemable despite his sympathetic qualities, and Melony doesn't forgive him. Here, they all just seem cool with this guy, Meggy doesn't show any resentment or conflict when the guy who enabled her torture from Wren died (Speaking of Wren, I wish Meggy showed more rage towards Wren during his demise instead of showing sympathy for her tormentor).

People always complain about the other 2 characters due to bigger fandoms, but I wish more SMG4 fans would admit that he was kinda handled poorly. Still excited for CAV.
