The main problem is that doing this sort of thing without computer short-cuts takes a long time and costs a lot of money, they are still a very long way from target, and Kickstarter doesn't give you an awfully long time to meet the required funding level...So if anyone has access to a platform with rather wider publicity than this one, it might be worth giving the project a bit of a push. (And also pledging a bit of money, of course, which I've done -- although without a great deal of expectation that I'm likely to be asked to pay up at the end of the month.)Current Mood: impressedimpressedTags: cartoons(2 comments | Leave a comment)[User Picture]From:phantomsbride Date:May 14th, 2014 08:24 pm (UTC) **(Link)**I have heard of the new animated feature of phantom...
