Graphic Novel Madman of Magic
Yada says I need to fix it now!
We have hit 8% funded, which is awesome! There is a long way to go, but we are on our way with a great start! Thanks everyone for sharing links and telling friends the past few days!
By order of Yada, our producer, I posted the updated version of the trailer yesterday. It needs some music added and a few touch ups but I felt people would enjoy it more than the shorter version, but it still didn’t upload 100% correctly. I hope to get at least some of the problems fixed by tomorrow, but the music is going to take a few days.
The shorter trailer seems to be getting a good response. I have been responding to YouTube comments, most of the morning in fact. The current stats are 463 views, 38 “Likes”, 6 “dislikes, and 140 comments (with about 70 of them being my responses to other people’s comments) in 2 weeks. Now figuring out how to get those viewers to the Kickstarter page is the trick.
Since I said there would be an update today I did add a few photos I put together this morning. Thanks for following along and enjoy the updated video and the images.
From my white board
This is my basic plan for Kickstarter. The goal is to get the writing done, then the images, and finishing up with the video. The problem is I wanted to get the project launched by April 1st, so while I did an extradited version of this list, I now need to go back through and fill those that I feel need a little more work.
We are 16 hours into our Kickstarter campaign and currently at 5% completion! If we can do this every day Leah Love and I will have full funding in 19 days. Keep your fingers crossed, post on this project on facebook pages, and share it with others; this will help us to that goal. Remember, time is limited, so action needs to happen now!
Thanks again Chris and Josh for getting this party started!
Sincerely,
Jason Love
I just submitted my page for Kickstarter review. I would write more, but first I need to get some sleep!
I have been working on getting a Kickstarter page up for my Madman of Magic Graphic Novel/Comic Book. To have a fighting chance at getting the funding it’s important to put a Kickstarter video together so backers can get an idea of the project and the creators. If you are at the same point in the process as I am, it’s imperative that you get feedback on your video, constructive criticism will make it the best it can be in order to help get your project funding.
Getting Feedback on Kickstarter Video:
1) Post your rough draft video on YouTube. It’s important that at the end of the video you have a request for the viewer to: subscribe to your page, join your mailing list, connect to your social media pages, or some variant of all three. Be sure to ask viewers to leave constructive criticism in the ‘comment’ section.
2) Find videos that share a similar audience as your project, you’ll have an instant listing of your target market. Using the Madman of Magic Graphic Novel as an example, I looked up “Watchman Motion Comic”, “Avenger’s Movie”, “How to make comic books”, etc…
3) Lastly you go through the comments section of those videos and then contact these individuals via ‘YouTube Messenger’ requesting feedback on your own project. Make the message as short and as clear as possible.
If you want to see an example, I will leave my motion comic rough draft on YouTube as an example: http://youtu.be/xanebZmrVrw
Last night I started the process of preparing for my Kickstarter campaign. I am very excited as it would be a great step in finishing the Madman of Magic Comic Book. I will be documenting my progress through Kickstarter. My goal is to get my Kickstarter page up and collecting by April 1, 2012 (today is March 16, 2012).
