I was on Kickstarter today, when my attention was caught by this gorgeous video clip for a movie project currently in development. Mauricio Baiocchi has created a children’s storybook and short film about cicadas’ short lives, using miniatures and puppets, that is absolutely beautiful. Having grown up in Japan, I’m used to hearing the cries of the cicada during the summer. Along with the intense blast of heat that turned the air into an invisible humid web, their cries seemed to remind everyone of the season when we all melted. I guess you really don’t appreciate the experience until it’s gone.
While the project has reached its full funding request, there is still time left to help Mauricio and his team of talented artists make it an amazing experience for us all. At this rate, he’s on target to hit 1,000 backers. Here the link to Cicada Princess on Kickstarter, as well as the official project site. Go join the emotional ride of the cicadas and their creators. I’m pretty sure that it’ll make me cry.
Thank you for a great post.
Creative inspiration like this just needs to be shared. I’m happy to report that yesterday Kickstarter announced this project’s successful funding at 185% of their request with 1,097 backers.
