Wow!!! This is the first animated film project on kickstarter that I've been truly drawn to. It speaks to me, of good versus evil, of the strong defending the weak, of brute power with tender heart.
I like the feel of the name in my mouth, too.
Old-timey, days of Roman and Greek gods, epic saga stuff.
But Sci-fi style, with a robot as the hero.
You just don't know how much and how loudly this speaks to me.
My friend Sam Johnson would have been all over it with me. A love story between an aging battlefield robot and a motherless 9-year-old girl? And it's animated? Wild horses couldn't keep us away.
One of the best things about it? The folks doing it are all local.
Alex even blogs about the progress on his webpage, so I can watch the work come together. He even has his storyboards, both of them, posted there. So, I have a good idea of the action to occur, but not the dialogue or music cues or sound effects.
I saw a trailer for the film during a student showcase (!!!), but that just whet my appetite fiercely.
Oh, I am so eagerly waiting for this one...
