This is why i love Kickstarter

Super-Natura is the title for a project I am starting work on right now. Its a stop motion animation film, and I am using real insects to make puppets for a slightly surreal story about nature. That means getting my hands dirty with bugs, armature wire, hot glue, and other materials to make insect puppets that consolidate various insect bodies into new and slightly unreal characters. What I want to do with them is simple, animate them in nature in a stop motion film which documents their would-be experiences to create a world that is part science, part imagination, and all kinds of beautiful. The photo above is an example of a puppet I have made in the past while testing this idea, but I imagine this is only a starting point with what I could make for this film.





Back it!

Woah that is incredible! Ms. Kelly has many, MANY mad skillz. And she's almost to her $3000 already!

My friend Becca makes fun whimsical bug Frankenstein monsters, and at first glance I wondered if maybe she was behind this.

Less than five hundred dollars away! Awesome.

Thanks peeps! I'm hoping to get ou tof my own network so I could make sure everything for this film is going to be there when we need it. If you can help by posting this somewhere else, that's the kind of thing that's really helpful right now.

Awesome bug sculptures! I wonder if she animates...

Minimum goal for project is met!! That means it will be funded, so PLEASE PEOPLE! Get the word out for the final 9 days of this project! Both amazon and Kickstarter take fees so your help getting as high as possible is going to pay off in the production of this film! HUZZAH! Super Natura Pre-production by Gina Kelly — Kickstarter

like this, like Supernatura, donate $1 and those three things could cash in huge for this project. Its currently the second most popular animation project on Kickstarter. If it makes number 1, it will be featured on the front page, and that means free world wide advertising. Help a fellow gigposter gal out! There are only four days left, so empower the project now! Cheapest thing ever!

16 hours left to raise funds folks... this money will go toward paying fabricators to help me gut out the internal yuck from insects and replace their insides with more movement friendly materials, a seriously big job for just one person. Anything you could donate will make a big difference toward getting people involved with the construction of puppets for this film, and without good construction we're in trouble...if you look at this, and donate just a dollar, I bet I'll get to the $4000 by the end of the day!
