Black Sands, An Animated Pilot based on the Award-winning Comics

Created by Manuel Godoy

Black Sands follows the young prince Ausar on his path to become the next Pharaoh of Kemet when he and his kin are dragged into a war that threatens the realms of men. What Is UNIQUE about Black Sands compared to it’s competition is the extreme attention to detail in the narrative, political relationships, and mythological lore placed in the story. It is not simply a “Black Version of Avatar.” It is an epic story about a time period in history long forgotten.

DVD Schedule and Content
over 6 years ago – Mon, Oct 14, 2019 at 05:08:49 PM

Content

The DVD will have the following:

  • Three motion comics fully voiced with special effects (45+ minutes)
  • 12 track hip-hop OST (Bonus Item)
  • 10 minute animated pilot (uncommitted)

The DVD will be a double CD with an album and a DVD portion. Users are getting the album free of charge. The animated pilot has had major delays and production value inconsistency throughout the duration of the production. As such, if it is not available before the DVD is ready, it will not make the DVD. 

If that does happen, the animated pilot will be available privately to all backers and preorders via link.

Either way, we will never publicly release the animation as we have acquired pixar level animators in our new official studio. You can read up on that acquisition at http://blacksandsstudios.com

We will not be giving any mixed signals to the public on what our animation is currently so the animation for this DVD will be buried as our new Netflix level animation will go live.

Schedule

The DVD is expected to launch no later than Nov 24th. If we can get it out earlier, we will but I do not want to over promise anything because I have done everything I possibly could on my end and now it is up to outside forces to complete their tasks in a reasonable amount of time.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

The animation has been delayed considerably but we will be moving forward with the DVD. We hope to have it completed by the end of October. As a bonus, all DVDs will include a OST hip hop album. \

Sorry for any delays.
