Short Summary

Matthew and Ophelia are two friends that have a short show on YouTube for YouTube Kids. We read a story every episode and explain a lesson or moral afterwords based on the story we read. We also teach letters with The Letter People from the old PBS Show which I will explain more about below. We add new friends every now and then.

We have had people mention how they feel about this show and say it reminds them of Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood, Reading with the Lions, and Sesame Street.

  • Ophelia and Matthew read books with a lesson and learning and are the main stars of the show.
  • Torrence the Turtle who draws and is the beginning artist learning how to. Edgar
  • Edgar and Elizabeth read Not-So-Scary Children's books and stories. 
  • Goldie reads The Little Golden Books
  • Lily reads books for beginning readers and kids just learning how to read with very simple words and books for early development. 
  • Octavian will be reading almost chapter books for more advanced children. 
  • We will make short films all family-friendly. 
  • We are working on Claymation as well for the show. 
  • AND MORE TO COME LATER ON!

My name is Matthew Mark Hunter, I am an Award Winning Independent film producer with a variety of successful film productions starting intothis  new genre. I started this show about 5 weeks ago and have a new episode come out every Saturday at 11 AM on YouTube. Since August 8th we have 3 episodes out so far.

I will be 100% honest with this campain and idea of why I am doing this. I love kids shows and cartoons and educational programs. I will be uploading this to YouTube and maybe make some DVD's. I do not own the rights to The Letter People and other things on the show but I also do not get paid for creating the show at all. The money raised will be used for me to get new props, costumes, backdrops, food for crew, and equipment to make this the best it can be. I just want to do this and see if it makes people happy and teach kids something and bring happiness back into the world we live in.

I want to also make short films based on family-friendly ideas. I am working on Claymation as well for the show and getting orignal stories from Children Writers.

FUTURE EPISODES!

 

What We Need & What You Get

  • We need money for a lot of things behind the camera and for our puppet pals. The first couple episodes it has only been Myself, my mother and my two friends doing the puppet work. I have a lot of ideas to do in the future and need more hands on deck to make my dream with this come true. 
  • I want everyone to be part of this project and the perks and cost for many of the rewards will be cheap to get more people involoved in the project. I really want to make an impact from this show and need all the help I can get. 
  • If we don't reach the goal then it is totally fine! We will use anything we get to get the things we need and make it as great as we can. If we go over then there will be a load more of fun and things to bring out for the show.

The Impact

The one thing I hear from people watching this is they are happy to see this kind of show being watchable with most cartoons not as they used to be back in the day. 

  • Help me impact people that watch this in them learning something every episode. If I can create content that makes parents and kids happy and be able to help kids learn something new. it's all I want as a reward in return. 
  • I have wanted to do this for some time and now I am happy I am doing this while I also balance out College and my Horror Films as well. 

Risks & Challenges

  • Doing Hand Puppet Work and crew jobs and acting with a total amount of people being 4 is hard and we would love to get more help shooting these.
  • Doing this and not getting paid from YouTube is fine with me but I need funds to feed crew each time we shoot and new props and costumes.
  • I am still in college and paying for that as well and am doing this for enjoyment and seeing people happy to make me happier and help me with personal things. I love seeing people be happy and would love to do that for the rest of my life. 

Other Ways You Can Help

Money is tight with Covid. I understand fully which is why the perks are so low and cheap.

  • Share this project if you can't help at the moment which would mean the world to me. 
  • Share episodes from YouTube onto pages and with family and freinds. 
  • Watch every Saturday at 11 Am to boost our views and like and subscribe if you can please. 

And that's all there is to it. PLEASE LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND GREAT AS IT CAN BE!
