Montreal based Binky Productions has recently launched a fundraising campaign on Indiegogo for their all new Fantasy web series entitled ‘Sapphire Prophecies’. This original project is not only Non-Union, but will potentially be Montreal’s first Independent web series completely funded through crowd sourcing.
This current campaign covers Pre-Production. The team will need to raise $15 000 CAD in order to be able to go forward with Pre-production, and this mostly to acquire medieval style weapons and armour, costumes, props, and magical artefacts.
The campaign not only has Achievement videos in store and a neat selection of perks, it will also be featured at this year’s Mascara and Popcorn short film festival, here in Montreal, with an interactive booth which will include other nice surprises. And let’s not forget the music, specially composed, that inspires success.
This campaign also has us “pledge” for a Fixed-Funding type of fundraiser, meaning that each contributor is charged only once the goal of $15 000 CAD is reached.
With successfully raised funds, the project can proceed on schedule, and Binky Productions and their team can begin designing its costumes, armour and weapons, and can reserve its locations for the foreseen shoot in Summer 2014.
Binky Productions has been producing independent titles for ten (10) years now and are taking things to the next level. Having been self-funded up until now, their productions include satirical parody clips, a tragedy feature film, commercial videos, a comedy web series, and a wide range of pre-production and video post-production services.
In conclusion, I leave you to discover the magical secrets of the ‘Sapphire prophecies’.
“It is told, by the most ancient and revered of Elf Seers, that a day will come when a Mage Seer will overthrow the tyrant Lord. The prophecy refers to this Seer as the Emerald Eye. The prophecy also speaks of a sibling Seer who will help overthrow the tyrant Lord and take the throne in his stead and will rule fairly. These prophecies are known as the Sapphire Prophecies.
But beware, for another Seer saw a different fate for the Emerald Eye. A fate of captivity and torment in order to ensure the tyrant Lord gain more power to rule over more lands. This is why the Sapphire Prophecies have been kept secret for many years. And the Emerald Eye, hidden.”
