Title: Amiga Documentary - Please Donate
Post by: trip6 on July 12, 2011, 05:49:48 PM
These guys are within $1000 of getting this produced.... Please donate what you can only 7 days left.

Hi everyone

I looked through recent posts and didn't see anything mentioned about the Amiga documentary that I am making, so I thought I would drop a line and say hello to everyone here, and tell you about the film.

My name is Zach and I was a big time Amiga user for many years. I learned how to do animation and video using a 4000, a 500, and a 2000-based toaster system....

I breathed, ate and slept Amiga. Although I stopped using mine too much a few years back, I decided to make a documentary about the Amiga.

It's going great. We've got interviews with Commodore engineers, computer historians...going great so far. Check the website:

http://www.amigafilm.com

We also just launched our fundraising drive last night, and you can "pre-order" the film through kickstarter.com if you'd like to show support...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vivaamiga/viva-amiga-the-documentary-film

Anyways, let me know your thoughts on what you see so far. Viva Amiga, you guys....


-Zach

To be fair, this is mentioned every day on these forums and I think everyone is aware of it.

Good luck by the way :)

I'm very aware, I am on their Facebook page, I would love to donate but can't currently afford it this side of pay day - Yeovil Obsolete Computer Museum (me again) would REALLY like to support it financially but sadly they too (me again) still can't afford donations when we are looking for our own donations! Any other support I can fully support though :)

Just completed my donation. It doesn't take the money now, you only register a method of payment and once the minimum amount needed and expiration has been met do they attempt charges.

Yeay!!

Fingers crossed..
Zach pointed out there is something about possibly needing a bit of a buffer, as (since they don't charge until they hit the mark), there might be some credit cards (small percentage???) that won't be valid anymore. (Funds/cancelled, etc)
But there's a week to go to get some buffer space.. ;-)
I don't know enough about kickstarter to know how much of an issue it is/might be???
