1989 | MPEG4 clip

There is a crowd funding page associated with this project run by Imperious Films. Simon already managed to crowd fund one earlier project. To me this crowd funding looks more like an offer to pre-order a personal copy of the movie rather than to cover the production cost. Good idea.

7777 $

Michael McNeff needed 50000 US$ for postprocessing his Snark movie. In December 2013 crowdfunding reached 7777 US$. Alas, that was not enough and the funding was stopped.

But the spin still is fun:

Let’s hope that in a few years the required computer power will be available for less then 777 US$.

Charlotte Emerson’s Shadow Cranky

This is the beautiful result of a 1st year university project to create a video to go alongside a given prose. Charlotte Emerson made a shadow cranky, animating Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark. She uploeded it to YouTube on 2016-05-12.

There is no sound. It’s up to you to add it.
