Wearing Rhinoceros Hide is the New Black
March 20, 2012
If you read the previous post on ASK Harriete, you know that I was working on making a video titled, Pencils Make a Point.
A KICKSTARTER project was launched to raise the $10,000 needed to cover the video production expenses. I already had 10 hours of raw video footage, and only need 5 hours more, to prepare for the editing, color correction, custom music, and seemingly endless other technical details. Making a video is a gigantic amount of work and a whole new skill set.
This KICKSTARTER project is very scary. All or nothing is the structure on KICKSTARTER. If the funding goal is not reached no money changes hands and the pledges are never called. I need some thick Rhino skin to withstand the tension.
25 days left to raise the money for the video! In the meantime, each day (if I can) I will share professional obstacles, issues, and observations about 1) producing a video and 2) working with KICKSTARTER.
Recommendation to All Artists and Makers:
KICKSTARTER is not for the thin-skinned or faint of heart. Wearing rhinoceros hide is definitely the new black!
