You heard that right folks. I've been a lifelong fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It sparked my passion for animation at an early age - probably around the 4th grade. And I wrote in my 6th grade yearbook that I was going to grow up and become an animator and draw the Ninja Turtles. Well, it's been 30 years since I made that pledge, and it hasn't necessarily come true yet (I'm waiting on some news that might change all that soon - if I'm lucky)
But I did become a 3D animation artist and I've been creating animations for the past 24 years. I'm also currently writing children's book and trying to pitch them for animated features and series. I'm most excited about my upcoming kickstarter campaign for the second book in my Hidden Gems middle-grade series. I'm bringing all four of my characters to life using motion capture to present the project. Here's a very early super rough clip of part of the video - https://vimeo.com/525752347/21f324e138
You can find out more about my books here - https://www.greatdiamondpress.com/ - and you can see some of my work here - https://www.axisorigin.com/ - If you're interested in seeing my kickstarter, please feel free to sign up on my great diamond press website - I promised I don't send many emails - maybe a handful a year.
Thanks,
Kane
Hey, Kane! So good to see you again, sir! I love all of your multi-platform-ness - it's such a great plan for indie production!
Actually, have you explored the Transmedia Lounge? There are more than a few creatives there that are writing for one platform with the intention of the IP being used again: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/transmedia And of course, as you're writing your book, don't forget to reach out on the Authoring & Playwriting Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/playwriting
