That awkward moment when you take off your clothes...

Sex + Animation is a new comedy web-series that will bring you into the secret female world of an almost 30, still single, decidedly oddball artist. Gabby is attempting to find her man while unknowingly watched over by four of her artistic creations living within mural on her bedroom walls. They are the animated Head, Heart, Loins and Mother.

Take a peek at our teaser below to see how the Sex %20 Animation works. 


The story is told from the perspective of the four 'figures'. They live within a hand painted mural that spans all four walls of Gabby's bedroom. And so they live within the surreal, colourful world surrounding Gabby's room. Gabby has no idea that she is in fact the only form of entertainment to an opinionated and somewhat bored group of animated onlookers. 

Simply, because we love a good reference, we're hoping to bring you Bridget Jones in the world of the Mighty Boosh!


WHY GIVE US CASH?


We've scripted and finely tuned six episodes of Sex %20 Animation. Episodes are each 3 minutes, easily digestible, though we intend to fill them to the brim with colour, design, music, and of course comedy. With your help, we can bring you the first two episodes of S%20A, which explore a couple of Gabby's more casual forays into the dating world.  

We intend to make you something new and exciting. Gabby's bedroom offers a wonderfully broad scope to experiment and celebrate animation. Three of our four Figures live within the vibrant landscape of Gabby's mural. 3D animation will be used to bring the hand painted brushwork to life. The fourth Figure, Loins, is a recurring pattern of a little spiky headed character on Gabby's bedspread. This provides us the exciting opportunity to animate a weird little creature onto the moving fabric covering Gabby as she 'snuggles' her love interests. 


We've begun casting and have gathered an extraordinary crew of talented professionals from within the Western Australian film industry. Read about them below! 

I hope you can help us bring the world of Sex + Animation to life. We're going to be pulling out all the stops to get this production made. We're hustling, sweating, creating, promoting S+A. We'll be furiously hunting down funding opportunities to see the whole 6 episode season realised. You can set us on that path by providing the cash to make the first two episodes. If you love the unusual, the awkward, the surprising, then please support Sex + Animation and donate today.
