the project had not been all I have hoped for, and during that year, as it happens to many projects, it had changed and became something different. I did not have the experience, to understand what went wrong.
now, more experienced, and with broader set of abilities and connections, it seems that the movie will be made correctly. I cannot reveal the plot yet, or the concept. as this is a fragile stage of the production.
but I can say that the pitching went very well. and there is interest. hopefully, in the next year (as these things take forever) we will start preproduction. but I have to say...this production will probably take no less then four years, and thats optimistic. as you enter the world of production deeper, you start to realize that art and money do not mix well, and you must find a way to make it profitable.
profit or not, for that sake of this pitch, and as a proof of concept, we made a small teaser, almost one minute, to show during that 7.5 minutes pitch. I will show it here much later, as hopefully, we start progressing, and I can release more materials to the net. I didn't do the teaser alone of course, animation is a group sport. I made up a small amazing crew, Uri Inx as art director, Ofeer Hassan as storyboard and art (and acually some clean up), Uri Alonim and Nadav Arbel did the animation, Yonatan Albalak did the music and Uri Kalian the sound. amazing crew that worked with no money for the sake of an idea and the future possibility to be a part of this project.
the idea to do that kind of teaser came as an inspiration from Ari Folman and Yoni Goodman's pipeline. they did it for "Waltz With Bashir", a film I was fortunate enough to take a part in.
so the pitching is over. now all thats left is....to do the movie?
