Our Goal

Our goal is to equip our animators with Cintiq tablets, allowing them to work quicker and increase the quality of our indie animated web series.


Who We Are

We are Somnium Animation, an independent animation company based in Las Vegas. Founded in 2012 by core members of our sister company, Somnium Productions, we are a passionate group of like-minded artists who were raised by cartoons and dreamed of one day creating our own series. That dream has materialized into our original, indie-animated web series, “The World According to Ninja".

Our aim is simple: raise enough money to buy the key members of our animating team much needed equipment that would exponentially increase their productivity. We have the passion, we have the drive, we have the dream; we don’t have enough quality tablets to go around.

What We Need

$6,000

WACOM Cintiq 13 HD Digital Tablets


Our goal for this campaign is to reach $6,000. The funds raised will go to purchasing new digital tablets for the core animators/artists on our team.

Wacom currently sells their new model of Cintiq tablets for $999 each. These tablets are vastly superior to the older model tablets currently in use by our team. 



They provide a larger workspace and the ability to "draw" on the screen, giving the artist a more accurate representation of their work. They also reduced the amount of cords and adapters needed to connect our computers, once again freeing up our artists to focus on their full creative potential.


The new HD screens provides our artists real time High Definition images as they draw on the screen as well as increased pressure sensitivity giving them even greater control.

Of the $6,000 goal, we will use $5000 to obtain five Wacom Cintiq 13HD tablets. The remaining $1000 will then be used for the campaign rewards and film festival submissions.

Why this is important to us

Nobody said making cartoons would be easy. However, without the proper equipment, creating a five-minute cartoon becomes a near-impossible task. We love creating, and love the feedback from fans of the first two episodes of “The World According to Ninja”. With your help we will be able to create episodes much quicker; the ultimate win-win situation. 
If our funding is successful, it will be a win for “The World According to Ninja”, Somnium Animation, our fans, and the entire indie animation community. Indie animation is growing in popularity and, as technology evolves, it is slowly becoming accessible to the budding artist. 

With your help, we can show the world that there is support for indie animation and that it is possible for non-professionals to create professional quality products in the 2D medium. We hope to be an inspiration to others attempting to create indie animation. With your support, the world will see that with the right equipment it can be done on a high level. 

This is a very realistic goal. For what we’re trying to do, $6000 is a modest budget. We’ve already produced two of the 10 episodes of “The World According to Ninja” on a budget of zero, working on second-hand tablets. Imagine what we could do with a shiny new set of Cintiqs!


Tell a Friend! 

Not everyone will be able to contribute to the campaign. However, if you're a fan of “The World According to Ninja”, passionate artists, indie animation or even just cartoons in general, then you can still help us out! 

Spread the word! Get the message out there! You have a Facebook or a Twitter? Let people know what we’re doing, and how vital the project is to the indie animation community! Tell a friend! And if you don’t have friends, knock on your neighbor’s door and tell her and her many cats what we are trying to do!!!

You love cartoons and we love making them! All we ask is to do what you can! Like Captain Planet said, “the power is yours,” and as Uncle Ben said, “with great power comes great responsibility”. Please exercise that power and help us achieve our dreams! We will be eternally grateful.

From all of us at Somnium Animation, thank you for taking the time to read! We’ll see you in 60 days, when we are 5 Cintiqs stronger!
