Update #1: MILKY WAY - New Print Options Available for MiM Pledges

Posted on November 7, 2011

First off, HUGE thanks to everyone who has already supported the Mountains in Motion project! Please continue spreading the word and help us reach our goal!

Secondly, I wanted to notify everyone of a new pledge option for pledges of $75 and above! I know it's going to be a long wait for the film release next year, so I wanted to offer another alternative for those of you who might want to receive a tangible item as soon as we reach our goal and the Kickstarter backing is complete. Here's what I have to offer:

Hi-Res prints of our home galaxy, the MILKY WAY -- captured from some of the darkest night sky in the world, Hawai'i (Big Island).

Summers over and your chances of viewing the Milky Way are slim for those of us in the northern hemisphere. Don't worry, for those of you in North America who want a view of our home galaxy this winter from the convenience of your home, I'm now also offering prints of the Milky Way from a recent trip to Hawaii. I have produced a few prints for my own enjoyment and they look amazing @ 8x10 and the panoramic Milky Way shots look incredible @ 15 1/4 x 19 1/4. If you want a Milky Way print please let me know after you pledge. You will receive your print in January 2012 after the funding is complete. All other Mountains in Motion material (i.e. disc, etc) will deliver separately in Fall 2012.

A few of my favorite Milky Way print options displayed below (see more on my Flickr page):
