Since 2005, Peter and Company has been published right here as a free-to-read online comic. Over the years I have always wanted to push into the realm of animation, and now, thanks to a partnership with a small animation studio and the support of backers on Kickstarter, that dream is finally coming true!
We are working together to produce a 10-12 minute animated pilot episode for Peter & Company, with the intent of pitching it as a new animated series to major networks. The project was successfully funded via Kickstarter in May 2012, and upon completion the pilot will be distributed for free online via Youtube. We do not have a set timeline for its completion, which is actually a good thing: this gives us the opportunity to take our time, do multiple tests, polish everything up, and make sure it is absolutely perfect.
The pilot episode is coming along slowly, yet surely, as everyone on the team involved with production also has full-time jobs that take up the majority of our time. We will continue working on it as we have time, and will post updates to social media (Twitter, Bluesky and Facebook, as well as Youtube) as they are ready to be shared.
To everyone who donated to the project and helped to spread awareness of the campaign while it was going on, Whitney and I would like to thank you all once again from the bottom of our hearts. To see this pilot episode coming to fruition is more than just a dream come true. It proves to me that there are a good number of people out there who read and legitimately care about the future success of Peter & Company. In our eyes, you guys are truly some of the most awesome people in the world.
