Hey guys,

It would mean a great deal to me if you could check this out. I'm a 3D artist and filmmaker, who's main genre is short form animation. I believe in giving voice to those who normally don't have one. Check out my previous short film here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH9HoOoTeCg

My new short Essence, currently in development, is about a candle flame realizing he only has moments to live. Check out the kickstarter here:

Thanks!

Some very impressive drawings in the video. How's the campaign been going so far?

Thank you! It's going okay pretty well. We have 35 days left and we're 21% there. We're trying to get it out there as much as we can, but none of us really have experience in crowd funding. Do you have any advice? Thanks so much!

How have you been marketing the campaign so far? Gotten on any blogs? Any luck with forums related to graphic animation?

Yes we've been marketing the campaign a lot. It's basically a full time thing for us. We've gotten on a couple of animation blogs

We were featured on the 3D artist magazine facebook and twitter pages, along with a lot of social media buzz.

I think we have yet to target the right people. No luck with forums yet. I think we want to try reaching out to the comic community.
