$8000 IN TWENTY-NINE DAYS - January 25th, 2012

Painted Replacement Face, Stopmotion Puppet © 2012 Jeff Lafferty
Well, I launched it! Make that $7,950, since I’ve already got $50

I figure $8000 will get me six months of working exclusively on the film. Hopefully by then I’ll be able fan this tiny little spark into a brush fire.

Hopefully, the project will gain attention, gain momentum and gain a vast and loyal audience.

By then, maybe … just maybe, I’ll be able to monetize that audience with DVD, book and original art sales. Along with ad clicks here on the site and on my youtube videos ... and maybe I’ll be able to keep going.

Its all just one big pipe dream and is probably impossible… I know it,

…. But if I would of listened to that scared little voice telling me a can’t do it, I would of never gotten this far with the animation … for that matter I would of never learned to draw or paint, and never became an artist!

… probably never would of got my wife to marry me either, or accomplished anything else great in my life.

Impossible? … well it seems like everything I’ve done, that’s been worth doing, was ‘supposedly’ impossible at one time.

So, I guess sign me up for the impossible then.

See you all tomorrow.

That part? That's the best thin I've read all day.

So damn happy you reached your goal. Can't wait to see how far the project goes. Just thinking about that is pretty damn exciting.
