Producer Meeting

Our second meeting in LA was with producer / supervising animator Matt Manning. Matt will be journeying back to New Yortk with us to begin shooting the stop motion animation for "The Halloween Pranksta".

Directing the Actor

We landed in LA today and had our first meeting with voice over actor John Mariano. John will be creating two distinct characters for "The Halloween Pranksta". Are they human, animal or something else? We will find out tomorrow.

The Halloween Pranksta BLOG

That is correct, Team Pranksta has created a new Blog to follow the creation of the most amazing stop motion short film ever produced, staring the voice talent of Mark Hamill, and here is the link. That was some sentence.

KICKSTARTER FUNDED!

When my producers and I began creating my short stop motion animation film, "The Halloween Pranksta", we never thought it would grow up to be such a monster. Mainly this happened because we never once compromised, we wanted the film to be the very best it could be in every way. Consiquently we shot through our budget and that left us wondering where we were going to get the completion funds. Then Kickstarter came along and everything changed. We were only looking for a fraction of what we knew we needed ($4,400.) to complete the film, and ended up with $150% of what we were asking for ($6,621.). My thanks to all involved, family, friends and supporters alike. Go Team Pranksta!

KICKSTARTER STATUS

We are about two weeks into our Kickstarter campaigne, that leaves two weeks to go. The donations are just under half of our goal. But we have faith, we know we got this. To find us go to Kickstarter.com and type "The Halloween Pranksta" into the search.

PRANKSTA FILMS LLC is Formed

The title says it all. Well, maybe not everything. Myself and producer Susan Dee are now partners in Pranksta Films LLC. Our first film project together is "The Halloween Pranksta". Presnetly, all sets are completed, most of the puppets as well, and we expect to begin animation as soon as I return from LA in August to record the voice tracks.

My "Pranksta" animated film on Kickstarter

Well this is new to me, Kickstarter. In our effort to complete my animated short film, "The Halloween Pranksta", by the end of this summer, our associate producer sugested Kickstarter. As of this moment, we launched only an hour or so ago and got our first donation. I like this Kickstarter thing.
