Animated Short on Einstein's Refrigerator Design, E=MC3, Launches on KickStarter
Artist Victor Stabin Seeks $7,000 to finish production on this follow-up to his award-winning animation, The Bonito is Finito.
- Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA (1888PressRelease) May 03, 2018 - Albert Einstein creates a perpetual motion refrigerator that brings peace to the Middle East in this surrealist dreamscape, from renowned artist, Victor Stabin. Stabin and award-winning animator Ben Arthur are currently in production of the animated short and have launched a Kickstarter campaign seeking funds to help complete the animation.
E=MC3, the follow-up to Stabin’s award-winning animation, The Bonito is Finito, takes the viewer into an alternative universe filled with gorgeously rendered, anthropomorphized characters in out-of-this-world settings. This tale had its genesis in the strange but true story of Einstein’s work on a highly efficient refrigerator in Berlin circa 1920's. This remarkable story fused with Stabin's long-running love affair with public radio and stunning imagination to produce a historical fiction that unfolds through an NPR-style radio interview. Fittingly, the story’s characters will be voiced by well-known public radio announcers, Dave Davies, Richard Hake, Andy Lanset, and Jami Floyd respectively.
E=MC3 is already written and storyboarded. The voiceovers have been recorded. While production continues, funding is necessary in order to complete what is turning out to be a lush and complicated animation project. Stabin hopes to raise at least $7,000, an amount that would cover the remaining costs of production. The Kickstarter campaign can be found at this link and will be open until May 29: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/337367597/e-mc3-animated-short-on-einsteins-perpetual-motion
