Teaching Kids to Figure Things Out for Themselves!
I'm Mar Sorell, an experienced VFX animator in Los Angeles. I am putting the finishing touches on a Sizzle Reel to pitch a Collaborative Children's Animation Franchise. After first presenting it to our Hollywood connections, we will then offer the 22 minute PILOT DEVELOPMENT to the Universe in a Crowd-Funding environment yet TBD. We would prefer however, that a Savvy Angel "glom-on" to our franchise and Partner us to Market with force and brevity.
Here are some key elements of our intentions and needs.
INTENTION
At the behest of a variety of our teacher friends we are offering;
a brand new, visually exciting teaching vehicle for 3-7 year olds.
...now we're completing our Story Sizzle Trailer, take a look below!
OUR TEACHINGS
Respect for Others
Respect for the Natural World
Lessons in cooperation and revolving leadership roles are explored.
Discovery
Discernment,
Discretion.
The kids learn that it's up to them to learn and try new things.
OUR STORY IDEAS
OUR ANIMATION SYSTEM
OUR CLOUD BASED FUTURE
--- www.LerGO.org ---
Our characters will offer training lessons and/or advice on an endless variety of topics via LerGO's Cloud Based Learning Environment.
This will require co-sponsorship between Toy Manufacturer's and Learning Institutions.
Crowd-Source Ideas to help kids understand themselves and others
Take a look at this site, and the two demo reels available to view below. We need a few great writers to collaborate with. In addition we are looking for a musical talent to compose an opening theme that we can run with. We also need a few altruistically oriented financial backers who can make sure this project keeps afloat while I work day and night to get our Reel to Sizzle! When it's HOT, we'll float that to the Universe. The more of these small monthly out-of-pocket expenses we can get covered, the faster we can bring this colorful and exciting teaching vehicle to market.

No MAGICAL THINKING HERE!
Hi, I'm Mar Sorell
Creator of The Twinkle Lights
I'm positioning my company, SorellFX, to be a leading provider of animated story-based learning content, in the emerging field of Cloud-Based Animated Learning.
Our CG PipeLine is in Place
---- One 60 sec. Spot is Complete
Our Pitch Trailer Animatic is in Place
---- See for yourself above!
Our MOCAP System in place
---- Animated gesturing speed Increased
Our Character Toolkit Upgrade is in place
---- new Rigs & Looks are possible!
Our Mobile "ThinkTank FORUM" is in place
---- Speech to TEXT idea drops...
---- Right on your phone!
We are positioned to assist in the build-out of proposed Cloud-Based Children's Learning Networks.
Most importantly, I've got my head in "the Cloud"and I'm already doing it AND lovin' it!
Through the use of standardized formats for the transmission of 3D data, we are able to custom design characters and sets that would be compatible in interactive learning environments.
No need to hire anybody right now either,
...because I'm the one doing all the design, scripting, voice recording, animation, video post, toy design, as well as attempting to handle the legal ramifications of intellectual property security.
I work for FREE. It's my gift to teachers and kids.
We are NOT just starting this Trailer and Pitch,
we're looking for help to finish it with finesse,
...and in a timely fashion.

Hi FACEBOOK Friends!
Could you LIKE us?
Could I use an experienced Mentor? -- Sure I could!
But all I need right now is some help ensuring we have servers, connectivity, and appropriate plug-ins and licenses to allow me the peace of mind to create a killer presentation that will dazzle the imaginations of kids around the world!
Story Based Learning for Ages 3 - 9+
The Twinkle Lights Line of Eco-Friendly TOYS!
PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY through TOYS?
Modern VFX animators need to really get the idea that an Animated Children's Series is simply a commercial to promote toy sales. Really?
George Lucas got it... ---Marvel gets it!
...did I mention the toy dolls being planned so that the project will be sustainable in the long term? We fully intend to make our toys of natural eco-friendly materials and sourced in appropriate micro-financed organizations overseas.
We'll commission one shortly, but NOT with this round of funding!
Micro-Financed Manufacturing Overseas
We encourage anyone representing Micro-Finance agencies to contact us with opportunities for the sustainable manufacturing of toys by small localized communities around the World.

crowd-sourced venture!

Writer's FORUM---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Story
We are asking for ideas for the three stories embedded in our PILOT show. Our PILOT Development will follow this Sizzle Reel project we are currently seeking funding to finish. We will then have an "idea party" and try your idea on for size. If the team likes it, our V.O. actors will pick it up and run with it! If you are in LA, you could be there to be part of it!
You could find yourself as co-partner in an internationally syndicated children's series next year. No promises. Let's see how inspired you are! ...and we'll get to see how skilled I am at doing it...
Our plan is to make teachers, parents, and kids ideas shine for the world to see!
Theme Music Needed!
Composers, --- this is a kids creative project that will look good in you Portfolio, try it out and run with it!
Finesse Funding
Freelance projects fill in the rest, but take up very large amounts of my time. $1,000 will cover the two months of production. $2,000 would cover our initial Trademark costs. $3000 would get us a toy proto-type, and a bunch of kids t-shirts to use in our Pilot Funding Campaign. In 90 days I will have this trailer at a level ready for the scrutiny of the crowd-funding public.
I'm in it for the long haul! A savvy Angel would understand...
