What's this about?
Hi there. My name is David Blumenstein.
I'm a cartoonist/animator living in Melbourne, Australia.
Myself and a small team of special individuals
are developing an
animated series called The Precinct. It's a cartoon cop show
for adults!
You can find out more about it at the Precinct
website and blog.
At this point, we're not MAKING the show, but
we have been funded so we can prepare a
"cross-platform strategy" and take the concept to market.
Part of this strategy involves doing a bit of
market research. That's where you come in!
If enough of you fill in this survey and tell
us what you think of the short pilot cartoon we made,
we'll have some good information to provide to distributors and networks
-- which might help us
get this show happening (no, really)!
And aside from the raw data, we want to get
the word out about the show.
We don't mind if you stay anonymous when you
fill out the survey. We'd just ask you fill it out
as completely and honestly as you can.
But if you sign up to be updated on Precinct
developments, we can put you in the running for a
small but heartfelt prize, as a thank you for helping us out. Five random,
non-anonymous
surveyees will receive a nice piece of Precinct art from me.
So go on. Fill it out, watch our pilot (it's
only 2 minutes long) and let us know what you think.
Even if you didn't like it. Especially if you didn't like it! But be
sure to tell us WHY!
Thanking your good self in advance,
David Blumenstein
(Directum of The Precinct) |
