Wow!!! That looks amazing! You could probably turn it into a comic as well. If you're allowed to, of course. |

Thanks! Definitely not something that's allowed in terms of profiting off it, but it will all be drawn up just for story-boarding purposes |

The Kickstarter for my Stephen King Dollar Baby was approved which means the pre-launch page is up and running for anyone that wants to be notified when it goes live We're still a few months away but I'm trying to get everything well and truly sorted before launch. I'm going to be giving away a ton of stuff if this gets funded including some limited edition King books and a custom tray case housing an Advance Reader's Proof of Everything's Eventual that will have a genuine King signature laid into it. It's being made by Paul Michael Kane from 19th Edition who does amazing work. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/575394286/all-that-you-love-based-on-the-story-by-stephen-king |

Thanks all, I think they did a pretty good job. Nice to hear it from other people though. |

Still a little while before my Kickstarter goes live, but I think I have the bulk of the work done. I'd love some feedback on how the campaign looks and comes across and on the rewards on offer. Costing of each reward tier might still change, but that's roughly what I'm looking at. The vast majority of backers are likely to come from the US. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/575394286/1037659915?ref=2eyyj7&token=f5668624Things that still need to be done: 1) The storyboards are all going to be inked up with the "Stephen King" bit in read ink. 2) My artist is doing a custom piece that will be offered at every reward level in either digital or physical copies. It's a representation of the 14 stories collected in Everything's Eventual with The Dark Tower related story taking front and center. 3) Paul Michael Kane, a creator that runs 19th Edition, is finishing up some rewards for me so they will be listed once complete. Here's the pencil progress on the art piece, still some changes happening and then ink and colour will go down. instagram view full sizeThanks for taking a look. |

Wow, Warren! This is going ahead great-guns. Wasn't sure if I should comment on the kickstarter page or here. Maybe both, if you want? ... editing, colour grading, sound mixing, and score can really make or break the feel and atmosphere of a film,So true! You're going all out and it's impressive. Will check out the guys individual bios and (samples?). Couple of things I'd add, but this is personal preference obviously. You need more colour on the KS page headers in particular. That drippy font is great but I'd love to see it in red. This is King after all. And the poster with Michael Albrecht at the top - something about it is a bit unbalanced imho. I'd go for a tagline I think and save credits for below (like in your other samples). Content is great. Storyboarding is great. Like I said, the colour palette of the actual Kickstarter page is a little washed out for my liking. I'm not on FB but you'll definitely have my support on the KS. Already looking forward to seeing this!! Question: With regard to adapting SK's short stories, are their guidelines re actual story component? Can you add, delete much? Just curious. P.S. I read your teaser script adaption and wanted more. Typical. |

Thanks for the great notes!! Very much appreciated. I'm the only person who would see comments on the Kickstarter so here is fine really. I think they team I've got for most of the post production are really great and I'm hoping they can fineness any issues I might have as a new filmmaker. None of them come cheap but it's my first film and it's a King and I don't want it to be crap. Totally agree with the colour thing, I knew it wasn't just me! I tried the red lettering actually and I couldn't convince myself it looked good. I go away to Uluru on the weekend but when I get back I'll swap them out and see what you think. I'll take a look at moving Michael around. Thanks. Thanks. Much appreciated! No guidelines for story content so you can do whatever you want, it just needs to be shorter than 45 minutes. I finished the script quite a while ago now, but will be changing some things around and will be rewriting the ending completely. I do have a complete picture in mind of how I'd like this to look and sound, and I have already booked the filming location for December (I realize that's very presumptuous but it was a no deposit and cancel up to the day situation). The location is amazing!!!!! And will give this story a super unique Aussie feel. So fingers crossed this all comes together. |
