Disturbing Sci-Fi Horror Web Series Operator Closes in on Kickstarter Goal
There’s something about clay figurines getting attacked by biomechanical parasites that sends shivers down our collective spine in the best possible way.
The stop-motion short film Operator was released in 2013 to wildly positive reviews—which would have included our own, if we’d seen it then. Now, its creator Sam Barnett is providing a sequel, in the form of a 15-episode web series that picks up where the disturbingly icky original left off. The project’s Kickstarter is getting close to raising the necessary funding for additional stop-motion animators, and at $10,000, it’s really quite affordable for a 15-episode stop motion animated series. It’s really impressive as far as Kickstarters go—well-organized, detailed, and featuring awesome perks for backers. Currently, the project is about 80% funded with three days to go, so if this is a project you want to see (full disclosure: we want to see it), you should probably help Barnett out.
