THE KICKSTARTER IS UP!



It's finally here. After numerous hours of video editing, designing, and sitting under my desk lying on my back talking to Amazon customer service because midway through the call my phone went low on batteries, I have finally posted the Theta kickstarter.

When we picked up the series again, we evaluated our old mistakes and what we'd have to do to avoid them again. We have to get new voice actors, maintain the quality of our original episodes, but the one thing that has delayed us more than anything was our hardware, which will cost us heavily. So we've decided to take the risk and go with the crowd-funding website kickstarter to help pay for this equipment.

We've worked for more than a year on scripting, plotting, designing, and planning this world and this series, and yet only a month and a half of working on a kickstarter page will bring it to life.

This is our first step. Theta is only just beginning.

Kickstarter Sent

We have sent the kickstarter, but keep in mind, it will not be up until it has gone through review. Fingers crossed it will be less than nine days.

Dear God, I've gotta extend a thank you to Amazon customer service for bearing with me for like two hours.

Kickstarter will be up Soon

Our kickstarter page is entirely finished, but I'm currently waiting for my account to verify. This thing says that'll take a while, so who knows when I'll be able to post it. Sigh.

On a positive note, that gives me some time to tighten the page.

Update - Why the Kickstarter Delay?

Okay I intended to make a video update, but all our efforts on that have pretty much been converted to the kickstarter video itself, as it is pretty much our top priority right now, since I have to go to Portland by next week, that means we'll have to post the kickstarter as soon as possible.

So let me clear up, why the delay?

Because at the time we mostly wanted to post it to get it out into the matrix. But considering that we only have one shot at reaching our goal, I decided that it would be practical to make it count. I evaluated the exact minimum amount we need to finish the series ($902 USD), and I really wanted to make the page stand out from others, and map out what we're going to do in the way of updates. Now, let me clarify. As proof of concept, we need lots of clips from our voice actors, and a lot of characters haven't' been casted at the time, which is why we've recently posted the voice acting alliance page and have begun scouting on Youtube, and recieving lines from some of our current voice actors. We also needed to evaulate what we could do for rewards realistically, while still making it tangible and worthwhile.

All that remains now is to finish that video. As soon as its done, we'll post the kickstarter and link it here.

Our VoiceActingAlliance Audition Thread

And we're off! The race has begun my friends. We have posted our thread for Theta on voiceactingalliance.com. With the scripts ready, and every character defined, we figured, why wait?
