EatinCake posted:I don't know the specifics of color calibration, but from what I understand of it from Photography ventures, most monitors displays colors a little differently, and every printer will read those colors differently. The important thing is that he would get Pantone to approve of it as a official color, which would mean that most non-digital printers could buy that color directly or have guide as how to mix it. Digital printers don't read colors differently, it would be a disaster if for example the special red that Coca Cola uses looked different each time. But digital printers do need to be calibrated, at least once a day in order to be consistent in color. That being said, this kickstarter is dumb.

Why would WB suddenly fund a movie now when the show has been off the air a while, and not sooner after the show was cancelled? The fans sent a pallet full of Snickers bars to the people in charge in hopes of saving the show, back when it was cancelled and that didn't help.. So unless there is evidence otherwise, I don't see anything to be cynical about

steinrokkan posted:Help a multi-billion media giant down on its luck fund its next low-budget film! Kickstarter no longer has anything to do with its original mission statement. It is simple really. WB doesn't want to fund a Veronica Mars movie because they don't think there is an audience for it. So we can either continue to have no movie, or the fans can help make it happen via kickstarter. Kickstarter is turning out to be much more useful than its original mission statement. Alan Smithee posted:I haven't read in depth but I think the deal is since WB retains rights this KS is a shot in the dark to impress them, the idea being they will more than match funds if the interest check gets their attention. Not quite, they got approval from WB to make the kickstarter, and WB said that if they raised the 2+ million then WB would distribute the movie and help advertise it.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I guess it might be possible to make a fly-by-the-pants beg-borrow-and-steal-all-the-equipment feature film for $2m that didn't look like poo poo but that's an incredibly small budget for a Hollywood film. (They'll definitely make more than that but they couldnt know that when they started the project.) I don't know what budget the show had, but I don't imagine it cost a whole lot, and apart from Kristen Bell (who is probably willing to take a big pay cut to make this happen), the other actors haven't really done anything major since the show ended, so you could probably make a decent VM movie for 2 million. But obviously it is good that they are getting more money than they aimed for.

quantum_squirrel posted:You know, what the Kickstarter-darling, premature misbirth of console, OUYA, needs? It is strange, they clearly went to some trouble to make the presentation look good, but then they interview those two guys in the worst lightning possible, they couldn't go outside, or simply open a window to make it looks less nerdy?

Evil Fluffy posted:Hasn't Wheton come out and basically sad "it's not happening, please leave me alone" already? He is going to be doing work for Marvel for the next few years, and Nathan Fillion is on Castle currently, but he has said he will look into it when all that is done. While i am very happy that Veronica Mars has done so well, Firefly would require a lot more money, and i am not sure whether there is enough interest in Kickstarter to make even a super low budget Firefly movie, let alone a mini series.

There can be good reasons for picking flexible funding, though I agree that the majority of them are probably just an attempt to get free money..

That article is terrible and stupid. As someone who backed the VM movie, the author missed the point completely, and just seems angry that people are spending their money on something he doesn't like.

This may be a stupid question, but as I understand it in the US, anyone can go to the ER and get help, and then you just get a bill, but they can't refuse treatment. It isn't the same with surgery that could save your life?

Accordion Man posted:Hey guys do you want a sequel to the Nintendo horror video game Eternal Darkness? Well you're in luck because the original developer is trying to make a spiritual successor. They may have already fleeced a major publisher to help fund the gameplay video for it and also lost millions in a frivolous lawsuit they started last year, but don't worry guys they totally want to make a great game and not just steal your money. That's why they completely bypassed Kickstarter and Indiegogo and made the crowdfunding campaign on their own site, because they want to interact with you the gamer directly. Great news, in addition to collecting funding on their own site, they have also opened a Kickstarter campaign, to get money for the same game : http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/617502838/shadow-of-the-eternals?ref=card

Efexeye posted:This is the problem with already established stars like Zach Braff doing Kickstarters for vanity projects, if you have access to the Hollywood system and its rejected your idea it's probably for a reeeeeeally good reason. Hollywood doesn't produce entertainment for their fans, they produce entertainment to make a profit. So if Hollywood doesn't think if will make a profit that means a project shouldn't be made at all? Fans gave 5.7 million dollars to make the Veronica Mars movie, the kickstarter happened because some business men didn't think it would make enough money to bother, yet there was clearly a big interest in it being made. The problem is with the system that would rather gamble on a 200 million dollar movie, than one that costs 10 million. Also in almost every case where a entertainment kickstarter has done well, all the people who rejected the idea in the first place, come and want a piece of the pie now that they can smell money.

Did no one notice those hilariously fake text messages that is on the kickstarter page? It may just because i have only heard about the kickstarter now, and know what the deal is, but there are so many small things, that stand out as weird and fake on that page.

OrganizedInsanity posted:Dunno if this counts but Planetary Annihilation is looking for more $$ on steam. Access to Alpha was the 90$ kickstarter tier, they would screw their backers if they let people access it now for less. Obviously they should never have put this option on Steam, it was never going to end well, and i am amazed that nobody at the company realized that. But anyone actually outraged about this is an idiot

It would be cool if it actually functioned like a bow, instead of just having to hold it, and the pull that ring thingie, how exactly is that better than tapping on a phone?

I will never understand the desire to make all these tiny wallets that can't hold any coins. I find a normal wallet just fine since it actually allows me to carry stuff..

Xandu posted:You put coins in your wallet?! Mercury Hat posted:They're really common outside of the US where you have to carry $1 or £1 coins, they'll have a zippered compartment for them. In practice, they just make your wallet exceptionally heavy and bulky. I hadn't actually considered that perhaps the US didn't use many coins. Here in Denmark a wallet without room for coins would be pretty much useless.

There are so many reasons why a Kickstarter can be delayed, especially if they get a lot more funding than they planned on. So as long as they keep people updated i am fine.

I think the problem is that you can already buy the robot in stores, Everyone who wants one can simply buy it with no hassle, and there doesn't seem to be that much cuztomisation to appeal to the kind of people who like that sort of thing. I am not sure whether there is a difference in price..
