Will, merch needs to follow the shorts. I'd set up a kickstarter campaign, use the merchandise you have as rewards for those who sign up. Follow largento's model, based on his experience you should be able to put together some first round founding for a pilot. Or better yet a Zandoria channel on youtube.

Starting round 27 with my bonnie Irish Lass! It's a wonder she still puts up with me!

Married?? Well congratulations and welcome to the club! I've given thought to the kickstarter idea myself, but it seems to get interest going there needs to be some niche that the project can fit into that would get it visibility. I'd love to use it to fund a pilot for tv network broadcast, that would be my end all be all.

All the best as you age one more year!

Darkwing, that is one phenomenal image!

I wasn't digging the decals I used, so I re-worked the inlet and used a darktree copper material. Robcat, I'm liking the motion you used. I had thought that the top portion seemed too stiff. testa.mov

I've been invited to give an advanced tech talk on developing an edi system for healthcare claims in June. It has to be done as a power point presentation, but me being me I don't want to do just an hours worth of slides, so I plan on doing several slides interspersed with the tech speak with some animated slide s. One of them is an illustration of the system as whole as a rube goldberg like machine. This is a test I just threw together of the first piece, which will be an inlet belching envelopes onto a conveyor belt. test.mp4

Indiana Jones!!!

That is how I rendered the images as shown in my previous post I only had a problem when I had stereo ON. why not participate, then have someone else render for you??

perhaps this works for ya

Put it in the main A:M forum, and put the zip directly in the post, not ftp. It's only 20MB, make it easy to find and easy to download. And give it an obvious title like "2012 A:M Forum Collaboration Project" It is here

just watched it. Fantastic job. Project is launched in new thread folks!

That's right folks, we are now, officially getting this old boat underway. You will need to do a few things to get started. First and foremost, you most watch the intro video that robcat put together (many thanks Robert). This video will bring you up to speed on the set, how to use it, and how to render, submit etc. Very well done. View it Then you need to get your very own copy of the project. Here it is: RearWindow_Assets_B.zip So with much anticipation and ballyhoo, I declare this project off to the races. [Edit] Uploaded the project to the forum, instead of ftp...

I think they are fantastic. Showed them to the wife, who was duly impressed. Her only crit, the grass looks like astro-turf, and the pavers look like ceramic tiles... ah well, can't please em all!

A good bit of research to do is to look at other like projects on kickstarter, note how they posted, what they are giving at each level, how much they are looking for, and how far they've gotten.

Congrats! Makes one wonder if this is a viable way to fund sum A:M shorts I have in mind...hmmm the gears they are a turning.... again congrats, and I'm looking forward to the DVD!

I am, as of a few minutes ago, an official Lieutenant Commander of Stalled Trek. Woohoo!

animate him! have him breathing heavy, looking towards the floor, then sloooowly move eyes up to camera, and an evil smile beginning to form.. get goosebumps seeing that guy, great job

how about a formal library/study

Will, how are you doing with this? I'm willing to jump in and help you out where ever I can. My strong suit is on the business management side, script writing etc. Could also do voice work in necessary. I'm willing to take the long view on compensation, looking more for creds more than anything else, though at some point cold hard cash never hurt!

All right, so I'm going to call this discussion a wrap. The camera remains fixed where it is, it's time to start animating.

While it may not be totally true to the movie, why can't we set up the voyeurs window/apartment to have a wall of windows, like the penthouse? That way the camera can be moved to simulate the observer walking from one end to the other to view those hard to reach corners?

yeah I like the idea of promoting/educating svn, but it is a bugger to learn. So if that were a goal we would need a good write up on it's uses, how it might be applied to A:M. An alternative ftp site would definitely be needed, so thanks for the offer!
