Artists and animators of the TADC fandom,
The last few weeks have been a lot for this fandom, and Gooseworx, with the stress of the theater release and the leaks and everything going on online. Today, the Digital Circus finale released in theaters and in a few weeks, it will release on YouTube and The Amazing Digital Circus will come to a close.
I think we're all well aware of the toll this series has taken on Gooseworx. The mass amount of attention it received, the entitled fans bullying Gooseworx online, the leaks, all the drama... I wouldn't be surprised if after the finale releases on YouTube, Gooseworx washes her hands completely clean of The Amazing Digital Circus and disappears off the internet.
But The Amazing Digital Circus did so much more than create some of the worst drama the internet has ever seen.
It changed the game when it came to indie animation. It inspired so many people. It inspired so many different animated series. It showed other creators that it IS possible to create an original show on your own terms that can outcompete anything Disney or any other big corporate studio spits out. It opened the floor for other indie productions like it to be made, it brought so many people together, including some of the most talented artists, writers, animators, and more in the world. It's done so much good for all of us. It's made such a huge positive impact, and I want Gooseworx to know that.
A huge Multiple Animators Project, where we reanimate the original TADC pilot and present it to Gooseworx, as a thank you for everything she's done. No AI or anything, all human made with love and passion. It's like a letter to Gooseworx that says, "Thank you for inspiring us. Thank you for giving us this series." And one that shows just how much of an impact she had on us and how many people she inspired.
I'm not sure how the execution of a project like this would work, but I'm actively working out the details - the re-animated pilot wouldn't necessarily have to be just one medium; it could be multiple, like 3D, 2D, even stop-motion to make it more unique, and give as many people as possible a chance to contribute. We could also include a collage of (SFW) fanart in the credits from the past three years of TADC, and maybe even do some behind-the-scenes interviews or stuff.
If anyone is interested, anyone at all, message me or send me an ask or comment or something. I'm looking for people to help host and execute this project and anyone who might be able to contribute anything at all.
