Comments on: The Race for Three Hundred Thousand – Week 1 report! http://blog.starwreck.com/2011/04/12/the-race-for-300000e-week-1-report/ Blog from the filmmakers behind Iron Sky & Star Wreck Wed, 22 May 2013 20:30:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Lemming Overlord http://blog.starwreck.com/2011/04/12/the-race-for-300000e-week-1-report/comment-page-1/#comment-289221 Lemming Overlord Tue, 10 May 2011 22:49:41 +0000 http://blog.starwreck.com/?p=2033#comment-289221 It sounds like some pre-premiere merchandising should be hitting online stores about now... and they aren´t. I can´t believe with the amount of visual design talent you guys have, you haven´t yet come up with some stuff to sell. Sites like Jinx.com could potentially carry that kit, and the demographic seems about right. It sounds like some pre-premiere merchandising should be hitting online stores about now… and they aren´t.

Maybe you have more plans to release the tracks later, but both the songs you use for the trailers are amazing. I would totally drop some dollar for those tracks! T-shirt or DVD pre-order incentives are good ideas concerning the $/€ 30-40 amount. I agree with Philipp concerning the music!

Should rather say pending or something then. (biased, but I don't want it to look like there's nothing coming in via Flattr! :() I must say that It does feel like the Flattr part is a bit missleading, because there’s no way to know how much money is waiting on there untill the end of the month!

I WANT to see it, no matter when. However, I had another Idea for extended Fundraising: the Theme Song of Iron Sky is just totally awesome. Whoever did it, dare him to make a 2-3min long Radio Edit of this song and SELL IT! With a little bit of Promotion, this song could get a massive worldwide success. I had this idea while first listening to the song, actually. It gave me huge creeps. If you should have any problems, finding a label to release it on, I'd gladly help you on that one. Good Luck!

Maybe a action figure or something. Oh, by the way, why dont you make iron sky paintball helmets and mayb guns! i agree, a thank you for $35 is a bit much. $5 for a thank you is fine, doing your bit to help, but $35 at least deserves a reward, maybe not even a dvd if thats to much.

The "public thank-you" is too expensive — I'd gladly pledge $5 or $10 for that, but for $35, I want a physical or tangible reward, not just a thank-you. Let people pledge a tiny amount, if they want. Kickstarter recommends setting a minimum pledge of $1, for precisely this reason. And I'd gladly pledge $35 (or even a bit more) for a DVD of the movie (even for a non-collector's edition DVD), but the only option for getting a DVD of any kind is bundled with a ticket to the premiere, which I'm less interested in, and costs $400, which is way out of my price range. Let people pre-order a DVD if that's all they want, or just tickets to the premiere, if that's all they want. Good luck! I'm looking forward to the movie.

A lot of them works on a all or nothing funding model, like kickstater. I can understand they are getting concerned about it since the way u do it looks like spam to the users.
