I'm making an animation called Sex and Taxes. I'll publish it on my YouTube channel or anyone to see, for free, with no adverts. I'm raising money to fund an uninterrupted period of work on the animation. This project is important enough to me that I'm going to complete it whether or not I secure enough funding, but with financial support I can get deeper into the work, make better decisions, and put the animation online sooner.
I believe consent is important
This animation is for others who agree. Using the socratic method I encourage the viewer to think critically about whether taxation is a consensual arrangement. Taxation might be theft, but saying as much isn't usually persuasive. Instead the approach in this video is gentle and respectful. After the supporting considerations have been summarised, the conclusion is presented as my opinion, not an unassailable truth. The viewer is given space to make up their own mind.
A couple of disclaimers: In the video sex is suggested, not depicted explicitly. And any art you see at this stage may not resemble the finished animation.
My name's Tomasz
I've been making animations since 2010. My best known are George Ought to Help, Edgar the Exploiter, and You Can Always Leave. Together, my five most popular animations have close to a million views on YouTube. Now and then my viewers send me private messages letting me know how my animations were pivotal in persuading them that political authority is an unnecessary evil.
If I don't mess it up, I believe Sex and Taxes will resonate with a wider audience still, and be more impactful than the animations that came before it.
The work I've already done
The script is complete. Feel free to take a look.
The narration has been recorded and edited. I commissioned a lady with a fantastic voice to read it. I can't wait for you to hear it.
I'm on version three of the animatic, but I need at least a version four. Maybe more.

I explain the process for deciding whether or not a supporter gets credited in the current video I'm making.

Does taxation really depend on threats of violence? Isn't taxation part of the social contract?
