OLD DRAWINGS AND NEW ENERGY

Hello! Hello! First, my deep apologies for the long radio silence. I've been extremely busy with lots of different projects. I am determined, however, to update this blog regularly so followers and crowdfunders (past and future) can keep up to date. This short film is one of my priorities and I shall treat it as such.

Just for fun I thought I'd leave you with some very early development sketches and doodles. I have more (rougher ones!) and I'll make sure I scan them and post them here. Again a reminder that the character designs were a four hand piece by the amazing Magnus Møller (who also has recently updated his blog) and myself.

On a different note, I was invited by the editor of Flaneur - the independent art and culture online newspaper, to write articles about the life of an independent filmmaker focusing on this particular project. My first article is out today if you'd like to take a peek.

I have some excellent news about yet more amazing talent coming on board (no pun intended) but I'll have to reveal it later...! Thank you dear bloggers for reading.

CROWDFUNDING - AN EXPERIMENT

I have taken the plunge into the crowdfunding world and have set up a project for 'Final Call'. If you are new to crowdfunding it's an online platform to fund films and other artistic projects. The author puts up his project and there are contributors or patrons who give small (or larger) amounts in exchange for memorabilia, DVD's, film credits or other rewards and perks the artist can afford to give. Please do take a peek at the RocketHub project for 'Final Call'. I would be very grateful for each and any donation! If you could also spread the word that would be magic too. I really want to make this film and I have such a talented team already attached, I can't wait to be able to do it! Thank you!!!!! :-)
