Topic: The Americas

Hey Folks. I'm still alive, and BiM is still in my bookmarks toolbar, I'm just a bit sheepish sometimes about not having animated anything whatsoever in the last year.

I've got a project that I need a little advice on. It's in motion, but I figure the people here might be able to give me some thoughts on if I'm doing anything wrong.

Essentially, I'm heading to South America via Canada in March, and my partner and I are going to be producing a doco series while we're on the road. We have the money to pay for the trip, but not for some of the excesses of production costs. In order to do it we're raising money through Indiegogo.com, and trying to generate interest in the project in as many places as possible.

Check it out, give me some feedback, and if you can just share the link around as much as possible!

Cheers,

Ladon

Re: The Americas

Sounds cool, I would fund it but I can't fund it so I guess I won't fund it.

I think it would be cool if you went to something that is in almost every town (Like a church) to compare them in every town. That'd be cool.

Sounds like a nice trip good luck.

Re: The Americas

Hey Ladon! Nice to see you're still alive. I'll definitely try donate as soon as I have a little extra money. Sounds like a really interesting project.

Re: The Americas

I really am alive! I miss brickfilming, or at least animation, but I've got absolutely no time to dedicate to it. I might get back into it when I'm over in Jay Silver's neck of the woods, but I doubt it. It takes a lot out of me!

Anyway, thanks for the interest folks! If you can, please mention this to anyone you think might be interested. Money isn't as much of an issue as an audience is right now!

This sounds like a great idea! I can't wait to see a part of the world I would've never gotten to see. You guys are awesome.

Re: The Americas

First episode has been edited and uploaded!

Cut together in about an hour and a half in a McDonalds in downtown Sydney, we have the surfers and singers of Sydney. Enjoy!

I think this may become the format, it wasn't so much stress to build a 1 minute film as it is to try and create an interesting 5 minute film... And it means more of them!

Re: The Americas

That was really nice.  I wish I could take a trip to Sydney.  It looks so beautiful.  Lovely job with the video.

Re: The Americas

It'll be great to see 1 minute snapshots like this of different places in the world. Also I love how golden the sun is there.
