Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

Llamas with Hats is an animated series based around the antics of two hat-wearing llamas, one of whom is a murderer. The first episode was released in 2009, and the series dramatically concluded in 2015 after 12 episodes and more than a hundred million views.
Now, years later, we want to bring the characters back one last time for a surreal, fantastical epilogue.
We need your help to bring this project to life. The epilogue is about as long as the previous 12 episodes combined, and the animation involved is considerably more complicated. In the original series the two main characters largely stood around talking, with very little movement going on outside of certain background and prop elements. In this final adventure, however, the very fabric of reality has crumbled away and Carl finds himself able to move in strange and mysterious new ways. It’s going to be a lot of work!
The script has been written and pre-production is complete, all we need now is the time to finish it. The project is being put together entirely by myself (I’m the writer, animator, and voice of Paul), and my cousin Chris Alex. Chris was the voice of Carl in the original series, and he’s returning to voice the character in the epilogue.
With your support we can give those behatted llamas one final, beautiful send-off.
As of May 2nd, this project has raised $166,000 of their $22,000 goal. This project has 7 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $5, you will get behind the scenes updates. For a pledge of $15, you will get a digital download. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1556971210/llamas-with-hats-epilogue?
