♡ ABOUT THE PROJECT ♡

Hi! Thank you so much for checking out my Indiegogo campaign. This campaign is to help fund something I've been cooking up for a while - a Strawbunny & Friends Season 1, 8 episode YouTube animated mini series! This happy, slice of life series revolves around Strawbunny and his friends in new cute, wholesome scenarios/adventures every episode. This series can be enjoyed by anyone of any background, with its silly humor and positive vibes! I am hoping with this Indiegogo, I can get better funding for making this series, and therefore be able to deliver a better project!

Through Indiegogo, I am hoping to help with funding the following:

• hiring storyboard artist(s)
• hiring animators
• hire concept artist(s)
• hire background artist(s)
• fund the rest of the voice recordings from the voice talent

I am aiming to make this series a true work of art - as both a stand-alone comforting and wholesome mini series on its own, and a stepping stone for fleshing out the characters and dynamics to be able to, in the future, make more detailed animation work of them (teaser poster of a possible mini movie sequel, after the series, pictured below):



I am really hoping to expand these lil animal pals, but for now, the first big and most important part and step is finishing the mini series, first and foremost.

Below I will list the current line-up for the voice talent of the series!

♡ VOICE TALENT CAST OF THE SERIES! ♡ 

• Strawbunny - Jason Hall
• Tangerabbit - Chanisha Somatilaka (singing voice by Grace Fitzpatrick)
• Honeybun - Sarah Anne Williams
• Sandy - Maganda Marie
• Chip - Kira Buckland
• Cubby - Daisy Barajas
• Pip - Phoebe Chan
• Lolly - Lizzie Freeman
• Daisy - Lanaisha Jones
• Sprinkles - Nola Klop

With better funding, the entire project can expand! Through funding, the art and animation style of the series can be top tier! That is truly what I am hoping to achieve with this campaign and project: to make it the best series it can be and to push the envelope.

♡ MAIN GOAL ♡ 

$10,000 - Reaching this goal will ensure we can pay for the remaining work left to be done for the series (storyboarding, voice acting, background art, and a small animation team).

HOWEVER, the goal for this project is a FLEXIBLE GOAL, meaning in the end, we will receive whatever funds that was raised, regardless if the main goal is made. In this instance, we will be using the funding to cover the rest of the voice talent recordings, storyboarding, and background art.

♡ REWARDS ♡

(DISCLAIMER: Strawbunny Mini Plush Strap Charm is a stretch goal with the goal to unlock him being $2,800).

♡ TIMELINE ♡

I am hoping to be able to work on the series immediately so I can start uploading episodes as soon as I can, since I know many have been waiting for this series to be finished! Here is a tentative/general timeline for the project and series:
