Capsule
This end - move short film is a heartbreaking look at loneliness in space , when an Astronaut ’s hypothesize 2 - tenner delegacy turns into a 50 yr - tenacious trip through space .
The history of Capsule will be told using traditional stop - motion techniques and in - camera particular effects . No fleeceable screen . No CG characters or backgrounds . Everything you see will have been build by hand and revivify frame - by - underframe in front of an literal camera . It ’s not that we dislike modern effects , some of them are really dumfounding and require as much aid to detail as any stop - motion film , but the story of Capsule is best told in this formatting . The hand - touched nature and paper of each shot will be a reflection of the maintenance Howard has for his mission , and the scrupulous floor of tending he has given it .
A $ 15 pledge gets you a digital sticker ( I am frankly not entirely sure how that works , but there you go ) , a thank you tweet and a digital copy of the photographic film .

Boneyard Pets
Our designers and crew grew up with hands - on plaything . From erector sets to capsella to LEGO , all of our favorite things involve the pleasure of put something together . We have been developing a serial of designs based on the punch - out balsa wood wood dinosaur puzzler we had as kids , but update with bright and exciting textile , intuitive gathering , and a massive increase in shell . The balsa puzzle were a joy to put together , but the final product was always a bit of a letdown- we want to make conception objects that are as sturdy and visually interesting as the dinosaurs that inspire them .
Whilst there ’s a variety of cheaper pledge useable ( $ 1 , for example , means 32 Square will whisper your name into the ear of one of their Dinos , along with the command that you must never be guttle by them and their brethren ) , the cheapest pledge at which you’re able to get a Dinosaur , in 1/8″ scurf , is $ 50 .
