True Tail - Original Indie Animated Pilot
Project Overview
True Tail is a series that follows the adventures of Caleb, a kitten who wants to be the greatest hero SplitPaw has ever known.
His story takes place in the medieval land of SplitPaw, an enchanted fantasy Kingdom full of magic, where one of the greatest professions a young child can strive for is to become a Hero! Luckily for Caleb and his friends, there is True Tail, a school for heroes-in-training. Within the school’s walls, a young hero can learn how to save a damsel, practice their swordsmanship, and discover what it takes to harness the magic in the land of SplitPaw.
With their many different skills these young heroes are eager to start helping the people and the creatures that call SplitPaw home. However, since they are still learning, the audience will get to watch them overcome their mistakes by problem solving and working together. Another major focus of the show is to explore different cultures. By having Caleb meet mythical creatures that are part of folklore, in our own world, viewers get to learn and experience the customs and traditions of others in a fun and engaging way.
The final product will be a 6-8 minute animated pilot. Currently, we are aiming for one short, but if our Kickstarter reaches its stretch goals, there is a potential for 2 more additional shorts.
Recording will be throughout August. The session will include the main short, an animated teaser, and any additional promotional work for the Kickstarter.

(Annoyed/Excited) UGH! When do we get to go on some real quests? You know, excitement! Adventure! I want to feel the grass beneath my feet. I want to hear the ladies screaming my---<girly scream>
(Disgusted/ Freak out) Eww, Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!
(Sincere Kindness) Hey Doh-Li. I’m sorry for messing everything up… it’s my fault we’re in this mess. What I’m trying to say is. No, What I really want to tell you is...

(Angry) Hey! You’re interrupting my beauty sleep!
(Pompous) Well, in my experience one must always travel by carriage and never sleep outside. Only animals do that.
(Sad) I never intended for it to get this out of hand.

(Bossy) It’s not my shopping list! We are getting ingredients for our botany project. I, for one, plan on our team making high marks on this assignment. Unlike last time, where you caused everyone to break out in cherry blossom pox!
(Annoyed) NO WAY! I’m not giving up my A in botany because Viktor botched this mission!
(Threatening) You don’t understand. If I mess this up you might be stuck together forever!
