Ok Scapers a plan is being formulated to attract Brian Henson’s attention. Sadly as we all know money talks. I spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about an ad in their digital edition. The industry uses this daily to keep track of what is going on. Pricey as expected $15,000 for 7 days. Scaper artist SpriteLady of Ben Browder Network is working on ideas for t-shirt logo ( maybe other products). The cost would be either $20 or $25 with $10-$15 going to the ad cost. So 1000 to 1500 would need to be sold. This tactic was used in the Save Farscape campaign and the producers were impressed at fans putting their money where their mouths are so to speak. The print ad below cost $3,200 in 2002. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. In the event we go forward and do not meet the goal the funds will be donated to charity. Possibly just donations can be made as well. Still hashing it out! In the meantime keep tweeting, posting on Henson;s Facebook page or tumblr! This week and next bloggers and writers will be tied up with San Diego Comic Con so retweet and mention Farscape 😉 Don’t forget the #farscapenow !
Kickstarter with the original I am Farscape video could raise the entire amount and the shirts could be printed at cost as one of the higher value prizes. Certainly, people would love the 15th Anniversary DVD set and autographed photos. I know we can drive enough people to a crowdsourcing to raise enough to cover the swag.
I think it’s important to show the growing population now discovering the show for the first time. If there’s a way to capture that information in the questionnaire of the kickstarter that would be icing since the data can be addd to the ad.
Thanks for the suggestion but the time frame would not allow that and I know personally I would never buy that video. The idea of using a company that handles the shipping appeals greatly for a short time frame. Personally I don’t see how Brian Henson, who attends cons and asks the crowd when they stated watching , can be of this mindset. Plus he stopped the streaming not the companies so no idea why he would do that when it was popular.
