MLG Columbus video
Apologies for the delay for posting my MLG Columbus video. I have to admit, I had to make some very tough choices on the content I wanted to include. MLG Columbus was an amazing event and I was truly impressed by the drastic increase in spectator attendance. It made it difficult for me to concentrate on the work at hand rather than relaxing to take in that amazing event. I can't wait for Anaheim!
Just to be clear about the $22,000 funding level I mentioned at the end up of the new video. The trip to either Europe or Korea would include 2 airfares priced at ~1,500 a piece, 10-14 days lodging, rental of higher grade camera equipment, and payment for an event DoP/Cameraman.
I believe that footage from either Europe or Korea would add a valuable layer in telling the story of StarCraft II!
Thank you once again and get the word out there!

Wow can't wait for the whole thing!
Creator Harrison Chin on June 28, 2011
I love what you've done so far, if you're able to add South Korean footage of the GSL and OSL and MSL, the growth of Korean SC2 Pro Houses and the continuing popularity of players like Flash and Jaedong, of passionate players traveling to what is the mecca of Professional E-Sports, would really seal this as the definitive SC2 documentary, though you may require a translator for something that ambitious.
Creator Adam Coenraads on June 28, 2011
This is really great! I hope you manage to get enough funds to go to Korea, to see the American scene put into the same documentary with the S Korean scene would be the icing on the cake.
Creator Michael Comella on June 27, 2011
After watching that, I've got nerd chills all over my body. I am so excited to see where this goes.
Keep up the fantastic work! ^_^

I just watched the Columbus video and I am really impressed so far. I'm so glad I chose to back you and that you've reached and exceeded your target. I can't wait to see the finished project, as well as any other little update videos like this in the meantime. Keep up this amazing work. Thanks, Max.
