Very cool stuff. Proud to have this on VideoSift as a sponsor. I'm chipping in.

The thumbnail image for this video has been updated - thumbnail added by oritteropo.

Ha! Sponsored videos are antproof

Oh yeah? Let's see YOU add anaimation tag!

Thanks so much, Dag!
Proud to have something to put up!

rad production model! rad animation!

Hmm... well I can't, therefore I must be an ant

Hmmm... 9 minutes of animation (as awesome as it may be), the honor of helping pay for another trip to Belize (?) or somewhere, and a good feeling inside for supporting the arts and "helping us create a whole new way to make animation" (making use of sunny, sandy beaches, SPF-50, and 75° water, I guess).

I've contributed to several Kickstarters, and it's possible I'm not exactly the kind of person this is aimed at, but I can't be the only one seeing this and thinking, "REALLY?".

I hear you - and as this is a sponsorship, this might sound a little self-serving, but working in IT for many, many years - the idea of doing creative technical projects somewhere other than a cube farm in a windowless basement is very, very appealing to me personally. I would like this model to succeed because I would like to do something similar.

Well, there are rewards, like any other kickstarter. What else do you expect from one of these except to see it finished, and a good feeling inside?
The sunny sandy beaches and the adventure/camaraderie of Belize are just a novel way of paying the artists for their time. We did it instead of wages... and it ended up being cheaper. Win-win-win. So like Dag, I'm promoting this mostly 'cos I want the production model to be viable!

*promote the making of oceans.
I had the power points, but thanks for the idea, @eric3579.

Weird the promote didnt work. Maybe @lucky760 can be of assistance.

No invocations work on sponsored posts.

Perhaps @dag may want to make it Sift of the Week or something.

Sift of the week!

I don't normally do this with sponsored videos - but I want to for this one because:

A. The more of these kind of of quality sponsorships we have, the less we need to rely on the other kind of advertising (you know the kind).

B. The idea in this video aligns with my work ethic. Work on something great that you believe in, with like-minded people, just not in a carpet-cube wasteland. (where's my red swingline?®)

Thanks @dag!~
We'll get this thing finished eventually, even if the indieGogo doesn't reach its goal. At such time, I'll be happy to sponsor it (the complete film) again.

I just got the call... animation (my part) is wrapped! Polished it off last night. Now two weeks more of effects, and then off to the races. By which I mean fests.

When will we get to see it?

Should've known that question was coming. Well, rest assured that I will post it here when I am allowed. I think film fest exclusivity agreements are bullshit, so I will be pushing our director to put it on the internet for free ASAP.

The short is now free on youtube! On the occasion of Earth Day. I hope you like it. I also hope someone decides to sift it for me. (No self-link, and I would prefer to have the video in the proper channels and open to invocations and all, so no sponsored...)
