About this project

Hey there!

If you are new to this blog, let me quickly tell you about it.

This blog chronicles with daily posts the making of a 2D-animated fantasy/scifi feature. Currently we are in "pre-pre-production", as it's just me and my partner making this. We are looking for a producer to help really kickstart development, and in the meantime are working on creating as much concept art as possible and fine-tuning the script.

What is it about?

It's about an innocent character who is forced to lead an invasion in the country he was born in. This so that his boss can feed his chocolate addiction, as the country they are invading is mostly made up of cacao farms. The world it is set in is a fantasy style world with a lot of robotics.

What is the style of the movie?

It will be hand-drawn 2D animation with painted backgrounds. Our "golden standard" is the movies of Studio Ghibli (The Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away etc). Although that is a big influence, having grown up in The Netherlands and Belgium I'm also influenced in terms of character design by Belgian comics (Spirou, Tintin, etc).

So when is this coming out?

Well, it depends on when we can really start development. Two people can only do so much. We are trying hard to make this happen, but sci-fi especially is not popular with European producers. This blog hopefully will help create a large enough group of interested followers to make the alternative of crowdfunding possible should we not be able to use the traditional way. If you want to help the project, please share it with a friend. Every time you do, you put some wind in our sails!
