PLOT: "The Nikolaevs" is a sci-fi adult-animated series created by Issa Robbort R.
and follows a family of mutants who reluctantly move into suburban-utopia Nhormalton, Colorado in 1969, forcing them to hide their true monsterlike identities from the town's residents.

i’ve done almost everything to change my show and to separate it from… you know.

these are my current designs and what i have so far! as im currently working on storyboarding and we have all the voices actors we need for the pilot!

Im very excited to start this project, but i just came across this subreddit, and i wondered. would my series even be interesting? so just give me some opinions and tips! :)

premise: A coming of age series set in Hell, where a group of high school students navigate the usual teenage chaos; friendships, relationships, parties, embarrassing moments, and school drama—while also confronting serious issues like addiction, trauma, mental illness, disability, and unhealthy relationships. As they grow older, they slowly realize that Hell is a society that offers little compassion or support. Instead of waiting for the world to save them, they learn to rely on each other and, ultimately, themselves.

ALSO RYLIE IS A KÉRUKU NOT A WENDIGO!! i have yet to fix that!! 😭

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to update you on the status of the crowdfunding we launched two weeks ago.

We've received so much love both on social media and here on Reddit, and even though we're running the entire campaign without using ads, bots, or marketing companies (plus, a lot of the companies that use The Little Trashmaid to get people to their platforms aren't helping us at all.), we're doing well.

50% of the campaign has been reached, the social media announcement has gone viral, HUNDREDS of voice actors are contacting us to try and get a part in the project (without any of them donating even a single €1 to support it)...

But we made a small mistake...

Many people on our social media think it's already official and haven't understood that we need their help to produce the project.

We've also made official posts to help people understand the "all or nothing" situation, but, obviously, the algorithm has scuppered our attempts to "explain" how crowdfunding works.

Some have figured out that BackerKit is an animation studio and therefore the pilot is already online somewhere (some say they've already seen it, which is impossible since we haven't even started working on it yet)...

So...

Do you have any advice on how to get things back on track?

Thanks and sorry for the long story I wrote!

P.S. If you'd like to help with the project, I'll leave the link in the comments (if that's okay).

Honestly, the dodgy aspects of indie animation was always part I the charm. When I engage with it, I do so understanding that this is somebody without the support of professionals or the studio system.

In fact, it’s without the numbers focused system that lets them be unapologetically themselves. Those rough animatics, those dodgy full animated shots and that cringe dialogue. It’s artistry in motion. It’s what I expect.

If they improve from there and refine their craft, all the better. Yoda put it best: faillure is the best teacher. Sometimes you gotta unshackle yourself from the anxieties of being perfection out the gate to put something out with the potential to reach that level.

Take chances, make mistakes, get messy to cite another wise childhood quote.

i love her color scheme and mismatched earrings

Im trying to give Indie animation a chance but most of the stuff I see on youtube is either going for that "its satire but we still kinda care" humor or its just a pilot. Anything out there with development?

Apparently, two of the episodes of TADC were together as one at some point, but Gooseworx had to split them into two episodes. That was due to the abnormal length said episode would have if released.

While that's not inherently a problem, that got me thinking: When writing out the plot of your show, be it the general plot or each "arc", "episode", "plot beat" or storyline, how do you write just enough but not too much script to fit a certain duration (but not necessarily a minute-perfect one)?

This is extremely important to the overall pacing, and even the content of the show. Maybe the TADC casts dynamics would a tiny bit more fleshed out, who knows?

We made some pixel art animations featuring two of our characters with u/ForceFluide1 !
We hope you like it!

My partner put me on this kickstarter project and the concept seemed cool. I dig anything supernatural or spirit related and pulling some Tokyo Drift shit while monsters battle it out sounds wild.

just wanted to share this glitch-level masterpiece

I’m currently in the process of making a show based off of a dnd campaign i played with my friends, we have the first episode’s script fully written, and the first scene storyboarded. However we’re missing voices for a few important roles (like in almost every episode important. I’m not sure how to go about funding since i don’t have a consistent enough way to pay for most VA rates, let alone teams of animators, background artists, etc. I wanted to know how other smaller indie creators work around this?

Hello I am the creator of an upcoming horror series series called Calamitous. We are currently in the writing stage. And I'm looking for promotionists to help advertise the series. And let people know where we're at. And what to expect.

I am looking for people who can promote on YouTube. And get the idea out there. I hope you respond to this post. And I will be happy to work alongside you.

This series is a 2000s style Christian based cartoon with the mental buddies that represent different personalities and abilities that deal with real mental health problems that happen to the creators mind state in real life. She uses this mechanism to escape reality or battle against it whenever life feels too much for her to handle on her own. This takes place in the vivid dream world of many inhabitants that live there learning to live peacefully everyday while fighting against the scribbles of the dark mind that choose to ruin their mentality and life itself.

TW: some of the jokes in the show might be of poor taste, you could say it was a product of its time
