Aargh I have totally missed this thread! Ofcourse I will show my financial support. And Im just wondering, is there a list of features the documentary will have? Will there be some focus on the development in the last 10 years, the demoscene, etc?
Your donations will enable us to complete the film. Here are some big names that we've already filmed so far: Jeff Porter - Former Commodore Engineer - in charge of hardware develepment. He gave us the 500. Dave Haynie - Former Commodore Engineer - best known for the Amiga 3000. He shot the infamous "Deathbed Vigil" video.Bil Herd - Former Commodore Engineer, Principal Enginneer on the Commodore 128 and others...Andy Finkel - Former Commodore Engineer - softwareJason Scott - Computer Historian, Writer (www.textfiles.com), and Filmmaker (BBS - The Documentary, Get Lamp) ...and several other important Amiga journalists, scenesters and engineers too.Oh yeah, let's not forget about the kick-ass soundtrack being composed by Amiga mod scene musician Zoƫ Blade! http://zoeblade.bandcamp.com/ So now... RJ Mical, legendary video game industry pioneer, Workbench designer, and part of the original Amiga design team, has just signed on to be interviewed. We need some cash to get to Silicon Valley to shoot his segment. Eric Schwartz, well-known Amiga animator, will appear in the film as well. He has also offered to do some special graphics for the film. You can help me pay to fly him out to our studio! You know, this guy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mg6wrYCT9Q We've got some shoots planned in Northern Germany and London right now, and we will use the money to get there. We feel that it is essential for Europe to be well-represented in the film, as Europeans embraced the Amiga so heavily. We could also use some camera gear of our own - all gear has been loaned to us thus far. Your money will go towards that as well. Also, everyone is working on this film for free so far. Noone expects to be paid, really, but I know for a fact that you get what you pay for. I'd like to be able to pay my talented composers, designers, animators and fact checkers for their excellent work.
