At that convention, I'll also be announcing the launch of my Kickstarter.com page to raise funds for it! Chell's rig is getting a makeover from the ground up, being redone by an actual feature film pro, rather than my buddies trying to learn The Setup Machine as they go. She's getting such a tremendous tune-up, and she is gonna be awesome!!! Lithe and limber, like a good Chell should be!
So that guy's going to cost money. Also, I shouldn't try to do music and sound effects by myself. It's been well over a decade since my radio production days, and I never had to take on something like this. More money! And matt painting! More money! And if these guys are getting paid, then the animators should damn well get something! More money!
I've got a few notions about backer rewards (the incentive gifts that give back to the donors who helped make the film possible), but I'd love to hear ideas from others. I'm looking into the possibility of Chell figurines, 3D printed from the film's character rig, posed all cool and action-y... as a high-end backer reward, of course.
