Hey kids,
Dave from Copper Pot here. I think many of you probably supported the Kickstarter campaign (thanks, by the way!) so you're probably aware of the status of the film, but if you didn't get a chance to support it, we wanted to make sure you knew the latest on the film. Basically, it's done... more or less. We're at a stage known as picture lock, where the picture is completed. Now, we're waiting for the music and animation to be done. Once those items are done, we spend a week in color correction and a week in sound mixing. Then the film is done.
Sorry for our absence from the boards and sorry that we haven't been able to update the Kickstarter blog more. A number of factors--most notably making the film as good as possible--have kept us ridiculously busy (and not for nothing, but Copper Pot is made up of three of us--and we each have at least one kid in the 0-3 age range--it's exhausting--and that's coming from the guy with just one kid, the others have 2!). That said, we are truly thrilled with the film and think that it won't just please the average audience, but believe that it will really speak to the hardcore fans and give you a look at Caroll that helps you understand why, in anyone else's hands, Big Bird would be so completely different.
Anyway--if you have any questions, feel free to shoot them to us here on the boards. I'll answer them as quickly as possible, though be aware that might take a while
. Your voice is very important to us--please don't take our occasional silence as anything more than complete dedication to the movie!
Thanks, guys. We hope to make you proud!
