Project Name: Wassie Deathmatch & Misadventures in Wassietopia
Elevator Pitch: Two claymation series with weekly installments pitting wassies against CT Legends in a deathmatch, and also showcasing the misadventures inside Wassietopia.
Project Description:
This is an application to create two ongoing claymation series that will be written and directed by yours truly. I have a current running schedule to produce one episode weekly; Monday is for storyboarding and script writing, Tuesday is for sculpting, Wednesday would be for painting the sets, Thursday is for lighting and set dress and Friday is Shoot day! Leaving the weekend to edit and score before airing/posting.
1. Wassie Deathmatch
this will focus on pitting wassie(s) against CT Legends in a battle to the death! Think of the old mTV show: "Celebrity Deathmatch" but replaced with wassies and your faves on CT. I don't know how else to explain it but essentially the wassies will get some cool weapons, and upgrades in attempts to defeat certain chad legends inside the ring!
2. The Misadventures in Wassietopia
imagine if you could, a running animated series of all the mischief that goes on inside (and outside for the outcasts) of Wassietopia. I would like to take you there and could create weekly installments in rotation with the deathmatches mentioned previously. My passion for this is unbound, and the possibilities are endless with my claymations.
How does your project add value to the ByWassies community? As a previously active community member, I know I would love to tune into weekly installments of their favorite cute platypus duck looking lil shids getting into all sorts of trouble with one another.
Funding Request:
Am flexible and willing to negotiate but from my previous claymation sales, this cost justifies the labour or stop motion animation.
Estimated cost: $2,500-$4,000 USD per month
Financials and Task Breakdown:
This money would be used to purchase some initial startup items like a new mirrorless camera (currently everything I've ever shot has been on my busted ass iPhone 6), new lights and a few new camera rigging grips for filming new exciting angles. And regular supplies for claymation such as more clay, props, paints, and the setting accessories.
The rest would be used to keep a roof over my head, the lights on, and me fed!
Estimated Timeline: These would be started as soon as possible, and would be an ongoing series- but shoot for one year at first and take it from there.
Business Model:
I do not have a plan to monetize this series for the Wassie community. These are simply for fun and for the community to enjoy for being such based chads.
Deliverables: One claymation per week
Current Project Status: On standby, ready to get to work!
