Posted project update #13Important Message About This Project
Post CommentThis is the last update you'll receive about this project. Your pledges will not be debited from your accounts. We are not going to reach our $5,000 goal, so this project is being cancelled as of 11pm tonight (Sunday, Jan 3).
This project is being replaced by a different project at http://tinyurl.com/ybec2ke. If you have pledged to this project because you want to help Michael DiMartino produce new music videos for the deaf and hard of hearing, you should consider re-pledging at the new Kickstarter project.
The new project is intended to raise cash to start a non-profit organization so that we can ask for grant money from the federal government, foundations, and corporate sponsors.
Once again, if you have pledged money to this project, your account will not be debited. You have not made a donation to this project. You will get another notice explaining that fact from Kickstarter after 11pm tonight.
Again, please make your pledge to http://tinyurl.com/ybec2ke instead. Thank you.

Posted project update #11Project Shutting Down
Post CommentThis project will be shutting down, unfunded, in just a couple of days. If you've made a pledge, you will not be debited.
Please consider re-pledging at our new Kickstarter project, which will help start a non-profit organization that can apply for grants from institutions, corporations, and the federal governement so that we can produce many more videos for the deaf and hard of hearing, in a variety of styles, by both Michael DiMartino and other artist-terps we can train to bring vidual musicality to their interpretations of songs ranging from country-western to punk rock.
In the long run, this will be a much more effective mechanism for funding a lot more than the two videos we'll still be working toward producing.
Thank you for your kind efforts. The new Kickstarter project is at http://tinyurl.com/ybec2ke. -

Posted project update #10Ending this Project
Post CommentAs it seems unlikely that we'll reach our goal within the next nine days, I'm going to shut down the project on January 3rd. I've started another Kickstarter project to raise funds to start a non-profit organization so that we might apply for grants from institutions, corporations, and governmental agencies like the NEA and National Endowment for the Humanities.
As your accounts will not be debited for pledges to this project, I hope you'll consider re-pledging at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1045808139/an-organization-to-visually-inerpret-music-for-the -- Handmade Music Group. Thank you for your continued support. -

Posted project update #9Not reaching goal
Post CommentShould we not reach our $5,000 goal by January 10, you will not be debited for your pledge; this project will remain completely unfunded. Of course we'd like to reach our goal and offset the cost of the videos, but if we don't, I've started another project, attempting to raise $2500 to start up a non-profit organization that can apply for grants to produce and distribute similar videos for the deaf and hard of hearing -- and, even more importantly, for the hearing as well, so that we can learn from the singular experiences of the deaf. Please visit the other Kickstarter project at http://tinyurl.com/ybec2ke. If this project does not result in the collection of $5,000, please consider re-pledging to the other project.
Thank you, and have a healthy and prosperous 2010. Marck.

Posted project update #8A Holiday Update
Post CommentWe seem to have miscaculated (I seem to have miscalculated) or underestimated a couple of things... first, the majority of the deaf may not need to hear music... but we all need to share our personal feelings in the best communications media available to us.
we're at "crunch time" and the holiday is intervening. We just need 200 people to give us $10 or more each duing the next 5 days. at $25, that's only 40 people out of the thousands or so who visited the site and see what we do. we grown more creative by the week, but could really use the help to defray the high cost of recording, costumes, editing, etc. and we''re $2000 behind our goal, 4 days before the new year. it's either the full $5000 or we get nothing!
we only have until January 10, so won't you pass this link on to friends who want to help a deaf person participate in th world around him w/choreographed, story-lined videos for the deaf and hard of hearing.
if we don't reach our goal by Jan 10, I'd like to create another project to support Hand Made Music Group, so we can reach the deaf with ASL tranlations of pop songs, like Lady Gaga's, and dvds and downloads. Please be generaous this holiday season, $10 is all we're asking,,, in increments of just $25 per pledge share, buying your video, a dvd recorded song, perhpas one the original 3 music vidoes. please send this link to your friends.
