Upgrade Campaign Update:

Updating my first post:

I now have a indiegogo.com campaign underway in addition to that lovely paypal donation button right there to your right...pretty, isn't it...click it, you know you want to. Anyhow, indiegogo is cool cause we can track the progress of the fundraising.

I am offering something else that's really killer. Donate 500.00 or more and I'll edit a video for you. I am a professional editor with credits ranging from commercials for Nike and ESPN to live performance videos, documentaries and dance films. I'll completely create a very polished and professional video of five minutes or less. You provide the footage, music, voice over recording (or I'll do one), photos, your own logos and other graphics if you like (or I'll make some) and I'll do the rest; editing, motion graphics, effects and sound design! Editors in many fields can make 500.00 per hour. Trust me, if my health allowed I'd just continue doing those gigs.
