B films Dalton

serious shit

Thats not much! A movie like that (B movie with lots of CG) will cost at least $10,000,000 if they do it on a super tight budget. 500k will not cover much really. :2 cents:

duuuude, read first :winkwink:

that's only pre-production, budget is $15 million

it's all written on the campaign page

Ha ok I will check it out :thumbsup
Never saw the first one although it looks awful (in a good way)

Some of us remember a time when TV was free. It was supported by advertising. Then came HBO, and we started to pay for TV. Now we pay to watch ads on TV.

Radio is next. Some of us pay for radio. Eventually we will all pay for radio, and we'll be paying to listen to ads.

Don't get me wrong... I sort of liked the first one - it was amusing. But now this company is asking for $15 million so they can produce a movie that.... We will have to pay to watch?

you may want to read the campaign page as well - and maybe something about the concept of crowdfunding

Now we get into business, literally. Any profit expectations mentioned? What about the previous one, how profitable it was? Any profit?

they wrote about that here:

i remember for example that the first movie was released here in CZ about 6 months after it was released in Germany - by then everyone had downloaded it already. so they potentially lost a lot of money due to bad distribution

So, no money, but signed copys, t-shirts and such? Damn..

yeah - crowd funders receive perks, not shares. otherwise they would be producers and would have to cough up more than 25 bucks ;)

If I haven't got this incorrectly, the crowdfunding can be used to that too. It can't be that hard to divide the profits with investors (funders), even without shares, as there is already a "share"; profit per one invested USD.

maybe - i have never seen this yet - but i have only contributed to 4 or 5 campaigns so far

They just want to keep the profit. :)

Well, it might be a bit more complicated if they share the profit, but it is still more simple than buying shares, as it is more complicated, controlled, and such. Getting investors per project instead of a company as a whole; sounds as viable solution, at least to me.

I have invested just into shares (directly), I have no first hand experience from crowdfunding.

i think crowdfunding like this is a viable route - people get stuff they want plus a good feeling

if i wanted to invest in a movie, i'd go a different route

they will collect it, but i really dont care about that movie

hitler on a dinosaur ?

exactly!

so the hyperboreans were real ! i knew it !
