Details of Items available for Sponsors
30 sec. Spot – a 30 second Sponsor’s Commercial is edited into an interview of the sponsor’s choice, where the UPA Legacy spot is now. The Sponsor may also suggest sponsoring an interview that doesn’t exist yet. They may either supply a prerecorded spot on CD, or write copy for us to read.

60 sec. Spot - a 60 second Sponsor’s Commercial is edited into an interview of the sponsor’s choice, where the UPA Legacy spot is now. The Sponsor may also suggest sponsoring an interview that doesn’t exist yet. They may either supply a prerecorded spot on CD, or write copy for us to read.

Sponsors Page Ad – Sponsors supply us with an image and copy for placement in the Sponsors page. That ad is linkable from the Episode page, the Update Blog, the Search button, and other places around the site. Plus, along with the ad, is a link to the Sponsor’s web site, blog, or email, plus a link to the episode they are sponsoring. When, Sponsorship ends, the Ad remains, but the link is removed (more details below).

Links to Ads – At the Fuchsia and Goldenrod levels, the link in the Episodes page, sends the visitor to the ad in the Sponsors page. Then, the link with the Ad in the Sponsors Page sends the visitor to the Sponsor’s web site, blog, or email.

Links to Sites – At the Azure level, there is no Ad in the Sponsors Page, so the link in the Episode page sends the visitor directly to their email, web site or blog.

Links from Index to Guests - The Sponsor for each Episode is listed in the Index.  At this writing, they are all “sponsored” by the UPA Legacy Project, translated … our own pockets.  As Sponsors sign up, the default UPA Legacy will be replaced by the new Sponsor, and will be linkable to the Sponsor’s ad, or their own website.

CD copy of Episode – Every “Episode” level Sponsor receives a CD copy of the Episode interview that they have sponsored in a hi def .wav format.

Banners – The Vermillion level is for a Home Page Banner. Only two Banners will be displayed at one time. This level is for a Banner only, episode sponsorship is separate. However, each Banner will be the subject of an Update Blog, which will remain on the site, even after the Banner has runits course of payments.

Update Blog – The Update Blog is found on the Home Page, directly below the Welcome copy and the Flip Board. It is updated approximately once a week, but remains on the site indefinitely, accessible through the Archives button along the left side of the site. We will do an Update Blogs for every level except the Azure level, to announce the new Sponsor, and/or promote their chosen Interviewee.

Flip Board & Gallery - Images in the Flip Board and Gallery are available at the Goldenrod level. The Gallery page contains images from all our Episodes, Items for Sale, and Goldenrod Sponsors. The Flip Board (think Flip Book and Story Board) is on the home page and has selected images that change periodically. The Goldenrod sponsors will have an image in both places, for the length of their Sponsorship.

Sponsors Page order – The Sponsors will be placed into the Sponsors page in the order of the amount of their Sponsorship, largest first, or in the case of a tie, according to when a Sponsorship began. Only one Sponsor will ever be placed in any Episode.

1 – Spot in Episode interview is removed

4 – Link in Sponsorship page is removed
But …

Our first sponsor has been with us from the beginning, allowing us to develop the show, and get it up and running on the air. At the moment, we have a half-hour show, but once we get additional sponsors, we will expand it to an hour.

The UPA Legacy Project is an umbrella group for several activities to raise the awareness of UPA Pictures, which many feel was the birthplace of contemporary animation. The two primary groups, under the UPA Legacy Project umbrella are The UPA Collection, which is just getting started, and UPA: Magoo, McBoing Boing & Modern Art, a documentary feature well into production. For more on this part of the project, visit the UPA documentary web site.

The UPA Collection is presently being formed to collect and restore the nearly 1,000 films produced by UPA, from the early 1940s to the present. At this time, The UPA Collection is acquiring its non-profit status, and will then put up a web site, and begin a mass appeal for films and funds.

“Modern animation was born at UPA. It is impossible to love animation and not to be keen of these films. I am surprised no one has ever attempted before to gather this collection.”

Serge Bromberg

Director, Annecy International Animation Film Festival

UPA: Magoo, McBoing Boing & Modern Art is a documentary feature now in production, which will cover the history, films, and artists that became the innovative animation studio, which has affected nearly every part of contemporary animation. Its influence has been world-wide … yet, its story has been largely forgotten, so this documentary will bring it back to a new generation. You can find out more by visiting the UPA Legacy Project web site.

Other activities under the UPA Legacy Project are screenings and tributes of UPA films, and merchandising of UPA films and characters. The next event will be the largest tribute ever mounted on UPA, with four programs of UPA films, at next year’s Ottawa International Animation Festival. You can contact us through the UPA Legacy Project web site if you would like to get involved in the UPA Legacy Project.
