DIG IN Looks to Be a Cuter Version of DANTE'S INFERNO Now On Kickstarter
Something’s Awry Productions is a small animation studio that has worked with Funny or Die, NBC Universal, Disney, and even LEGO. Now, they have a new animated short they’re trying to make called Dig In about a boy who dives into his giant birthday cake in something reminiscent of Dante’s Inferno.
DIG IN is a 7-minute CG animation about a boy who receives a birthday cake so huge that he has to descend through its layers, in the style of Dante’s Inferno, to rescue his pet lizard. He travels through 9 distinct layers of a cake where the stakes get higher as he gets closer to the bottom.
The catch is that they need some monetary help getting the animation finished soon instead of eventually. That’s why they’ve started a Kickstarter campaign that you can back now. The film does look promising and I’m certainly interested to see the final result.
