Through the help of Kickstarter, the project was fully funded and produced, eventually being picked up by the Russo Brother to be developed into a full length feature film. Learn how Brian created this amazing universe using a combination of intense stunt choreography, breath taking cinematography skills, and self-taught VFX done in Blender.01:11 Film School08:57 Changing paths14:28 What is Kodama19:14 Kickstarter23:17 Kickstarter24:19 Getting picked up by the Russo brothers28:40 Pickups35:28 LED Wall Wide Shot38:50 Fan Film vs. New FilmLink to Kodama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWIlsgzHNv8Follow Brian M Tang- https://www.instagram.com/b_tang/Support the show🎥📦 Get 20% Digital Assets - Code: POD20Get a CinePacks Lens Filters Check out our Film StudiosFollow Us:CinePacks InstagramCinePacks YouTubeTyler Casey InstagramAndy Chen Instagram🎧 Apple Podcast | Spotify | Youtube
