        Hope you try again.
        Perhaps with a 30 seconds or 1 minute of shootage, it could work better.
        Thanks again I like the idea

        Not sure what was going on in that kickstarter website. I planned on donating 25 this time but not really sure if I did or not. I also only want 1 dvd even though I have donated 2 other times in the past.
