Igiby Cottage tour

Who wants a tour of the Igiby Cottage? Click below for a full 360º view of the interior. (To see the whole thing you will have to be whooshed to Facebook, or to Instagram.)These backgrounds for the animated series were painted by John Loren. Aren't they amazing?Click over to Nicholas Kole's Instagram for more behind-the-scenes info on the Igiby cottage art and other fun things. :-)Team Featherhead update:Chris told me this morning that the trailer has now been viewed OVER 100,000 TIMES! ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND! That is amazing. It's hugely encouraging for the animation team to see all of those shares, because that tells them how much YOU love what they're doing. And the more shares we have, the more likely we are to catch the attention of a studio who will want to help us produce the whole series. So thank you! Keep it up!We know it can get tiresome to share the same thing over and over, though, and maybe you want something new to shove in your friends' faces. The team is working up some new exciting things to share, and meanwhile, please feel free to invite everyone to tour the Igiby cottage with you. :-)One request: If you've already seen the short, we would LOVE it if you'd write up a short review. No spoilers, please—but the next time you share the trailer, add a few words to tell your friends what it's about and what you love about it. We'd love to share those reviews back through the main Wingfeather channels, so if you'd like to be quoted set the post to public. #teamwork

Andrew and the Christmas tour have a couple of days off, and then hit the road again on Wednesday. Is the tour coming anywhere near you? Check out his music site to find out!

Bancroft Brothers podcast

Andrew, Chris, Keith, Tom, and Nicholas sat down with Tom Bancroft, cohost of Bancroft Brothers Animation Podcast, to talk about the process of animating Aerwiar and the Igibys' story. A lot of what they discuss also came up at the premiere during the Q&A panel, so if you missed that here's a chance to catch up. But in this podcast they also dive into some deeper and more technical aspects of the art and animation style, so this conversation is not to be missed if you're curious about why and how they settled those creative decisions. Get ready—this is an hour and nineteen minutes of pure animation geekout. (Every time I hear these guys talk about the process I'm more grateful for each one of them.)Head over here to listen!Have you seen the trailer yet? Watch it RIGHT NOW, and please share it with your friends!

Andrew's Christmas tour starts on Thursday! Dates and ticket info are available at his music site. He'd love to sign your books. ;-) And if you're not near enough to one of the shows, this year there's a livestream! Info at the Rabbit Room!

The trailer is alive!!!

You guys, yesterday was a phenomenal day! So many of you posted, and thousands upon thousands of people watched the trailer. We've lost track of how many thousands—last night it had been seen almost 75,000 times, but that number keeps rising! Chris and Nicholas (who was rocking the Twitter crowd all day long) are thrilled, and so am I. I'm proud of you guys. Proud of all of us. :-)You know what else was super cool yesterday? Seeing reaction videos! If you've got a video (or photo) of yourself or someone else experiencing the trailer for the first time, come over to one of our social media pages and post it (with permission)! Highlights from yesterday's reactions included an entire fifth-grade class and an eight-month-old baby (so cute!). :-)What will happen if we keep sharing today, do you think?!Keep these links going!

Featherheads, start your engines!

Good morning, everyone! I come bearing NEWS and a mighty task of great valor for all who are brave and stout-hearted across the land!The trailer for the animated short film which we posted here on Friday is now LIVE online, everywhere you can think of—Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, YouTube, Twitter—and we need YOUR HELP to get the word out! We're hoping to make a huge splash on the interwebs this week and to build anticipation right up until the short film's debut on December 26.Here's why this is so important: Chris and the team have made an amazing piece of art, but they need a studio's financial backing to extend that work into a full series. If a studio is going to risk that kind of money, they need to know that there's an audience dying to see this show. So first we have to get their attention, and that is so much easier to do when we're all working together. Imagine we're trying to empty a swimming pool of water with nothing but our hands. One of us could scoop water out by hand for weeks and not get anywhere. Several of us working together can make somewhat faster progress. But if we all get in the pool and start shoving the water back and forth in unison, we can create a HUGE wave. And that's what we're going to do this morning. Are you ready? Here are the links! Dive in and start splashing!Facebook*InstagramVimeoYouTubeTwitter*Note: Chris tells us that if you share a Facebook video on Facebook, more people will see it than if you share a YouTube video on Facebook. (Algorithms! So interesting.) So please share that Facebook video on Facebook!In thanks for your help, here is the first of our production stills, and yet another look at that glorious trailer. :-) (Feel free to share the production still all over, too!)THANK YOU, Featherheads, for your enthusiasm and support! We appreciate it—and you!https://youtu.be/fzMTp8QuTMs
