Posted project update #8New fundraiser
Post CommentHey everyone.
I've started a new fundraiser here.

The goal and the rewards are the same, but there is no minimum amount required for us to get the funds. Thank you all!

Posted project update #7Fund raising take two
Post CommentThe Kickstarter attempt is going to end in 14 hours, so I think its safe to say that we aren't going to reach our goal and we aren't going to get the funding this way.
In this case, those of you who pledged money to the project will not be charged. I do, however, greatly appreciate your willingness and if you would still like to contribute, you can do so at this link.
http://battlejitni.chipin.com/the-danger-element-web-seriesThe new fundraising site will have no time limit and no minimum limit we will have to reach in order to get your contribution. Its instant.
All of the rewards that applied on the Kickstarter still apply. For instance, if you pitch in a thousand, you get to be a producer. If you give us five bucks. You'll be in the credits. And you still get all the cool things in between (posters, DVDs and whatnot)
Again! Thank you so much for the enthusiasm and support and I hope you are all still behind me!

All of us who are artists and students seem to be poor more often than not. Something I hope everyone understands is that if the Kickstarter project doesn't reach its goal, no one gets charged. That's kind of the main reason I would need to start up a new fundraiser somewhere else. We won't get anything even if we are just one dollar under here at Kickstarter.

Posted project update #6Kickstarter status
As there are only 4 days left on the kickstarter fundraiser and we have only reached about 23 percent of our goal in pledges, it is looking like we won't be getting funded by Kickstarter unless about seven people want to buy producer credits for a thousand dollars a piece OR one person just wants to pledge the remaining 7,592 dollars that will put us at our goal and allow us to actually receive funding.
However, if this doesn't happen, I am planning to open a new fundraiser on the day that this one closes. All the same rewards will apply and there won't be a minimum amount that could prevent us from getting any funding. Hopefully, everyone that pledged won't mind taking the money they didn't lose here and pitching it in there? What do you all think?

I'm down :)
Where can we find the new kickstarter? Perhaps a smaller goal like 3k and larger rewards like a hundred dollar reward level with something super awesome like a visit from one of the characters or a copy of the storyboards from an old episode.
The new fundraiser is here http://battlejitni.chipin.com/the-danger-element-web-series
The goal and rewards are the same, but there is no minimum limit for us to get the funds. Thanks!
