Crowdfunding Update!

As of writing this, we stand at $440. To everyone who's supported us so far, you're all legends in our books! We updated the Pozible campaign with a video from our 3D Designer, Jonathan. Here's the link to the campaign: http://www.pozible.com/project/189280 We've been watching the project get shared around - to anyone that's shared so far, thank you! As said before, exposure is a battle and you're making a huge difference, keep it up! More updates soon!

Our funding is live!

Our crowdfunding campaign is finally live at: http://www.pozible.com/project/189280/ Upstairs, as I'm sure those of you following us knows, will be amazing - but only if we can afford to pull it off. We have exciting developments that I'll write about soon. If you contribute, the entire team thanks you deeply. If you can't afford to contribute, that's fine. Do us a favour instead? Share the project, this website or our twitter handle @OfclUpstairs. We need exposure almost as much as we need funds. This project has been in development for roughly one year and all we'd love to do is provide you with something awesome to enjoy!

Someone graffitied the Dirigible Alpha! (This is what happens when a 3D designer goes stir crazy).

We apologise for going dark for so long, but our Director was out of reception range as primary camera op on a similar production, The Old Republic: Rescue Mission: https://www.facebook.com/torrescuemission - Like Starwars? Lots of work has been done behind the scenes getting everything ready for the shoot. Our crowd funding campaign is due to be launched later in the month, so we have a small favour to ask. Please share this website anywhere you please. Every set of eyes increases the likelihood of us reaching our goal. We will be forever grateful and thank everyone who reads this for their time. We also have twitter @OfclUpstairs if you'd like to follow us there.

Update

Production is slow at the moment. Scripts are being revised and a lot of work is being put in to make the editing process an easy one. Our 3D dept. is working hard to get everything done. The Dirigible Alpha is nearing completion, as is another 'secret' 3D project just as a third begins. I (Liam - Director and one out of three Producers) am taking on Upstairs as my graduation project, 1) because I'm still passionate about the project, and, 2) because it will force a deadline and ensure it comes to fruition no matter what. This story and the universe it takes place in has been my baby for five months now. It'll be happening later than expected, but it will happen nonetheless. Stay tuned!

Hi! I just found you guys via twitter and have read through your character bios and history stuff and I think this sounds amazing! I would love to help out if you ever need an extra hand or person to help film :)

Hello! Thanks for messaging :). We're taking a break at the moment, with one third of our cast overseas, but we'll be jumping back into it soon.There will definitely be opportunities to lend a hand, so keep an eye out. All the info will appear up here.Also, we're building up quite a list of willing bodies - your Tumblr name has been added :).

It's been a while...

Quick update! The crowd funding shoot was postponed. We know, disappointing - but many unavoidable things came up. So far the Upstairs team has had illnesses, replacements, scheduling, work and university conflicts and even a close friend of the team passing away unexpectedly. The odds seem stacked against us, but we’re not giving up! The 3D animation team has been working especially hard on projects that will complement the series, as has our props department. The production team have taken a short break since the amount of stress in the final few hours of trying to hold together the failed shoot was immense. But, we’re only down. We’re far from out. More news will come soon!

An open letter to anyone following the production of Upstairs

As we get closer to filming our crowd funding scenes (specially picked from the first episode), the team is extremely excited - and daunted.

This is by no means a small project. We’ve been working on Upstairs for the better part of this year and it’s been a battle to get to this stage.

We are determined, but we need help.

Each new pair of eyes is the most valuable thing we need at the moment.

If everyone following our ‘little’ production could share us around their various social media, we would be extremely grateful.

The more people that are introduced, the more likely we can reach our ultimate goal - the creation of an entire season.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for supporting us this far!

If you haven’t already, check out our Twitter @OfclUpstairs - we post as regularly as possible.

Everything is coming together nicely. This was taken on location at a cottage we'll be filming in for the upcoming crowd funding shoot. It's also a good indicator of the type of aesthetic the series will be shot with. --- We're striving for quality; crisp images with high production values. Essentially, we want to avoid any cliches in Upstairs while having it look as pretty as possible. I think we're well on the way to achieving this. - Liam (Director)

Casting call?

You knew it would happen eventually.

We’re gearing up to film a few scenes for our crowd funding campaign and this is where you guys get to be involved!

We need extras. For a marketplace scene. We’ll need people dressed in Steampunk attire to add some life to the shots.

If you’ve got some of the aforementioned clothing and would like to help us out, please send us a message in anyway you please (carrier pigeon welcome) - though, our email is [email protected]

25th, Sunday, May. It will only take a couple of hours and is guaranteed to be a lot of fun!

The History Of Atora is Live!

As the title says, the history of the world in which Upstairs takes place is up and ready for ya'll to have a look at! A word of caution: There's quite a few words in it, but it's well worth the read! You can find a link to it up in the links bar, or right here! www.upstairsofficial.com/world

Hello! My name is Nathan, I'm the bowler hat guy from federation square, how can I get involved?

Hello, bowler hat Nathan! At the moment we're firmly in pre-production and winding up to film our first episode in the next month or two. There will be opportunities to get involved in one way or another, but there's really nothing to be done at the moment (we're doing a lot of boring paperwork).Keep an eye out, though. We'll post all of the things up soon :).
