September 12th: submission of abstract

So, a couple of weeks ago a friend Rob sent me a few takes of the video voice over. He did a few different styles and asked me to pick one for him to research and perfect. The styles were: old style BBC voice, hard man voice, Jeremy Clarkson imitation, and Hollywood action movie trailer voice (and an antipodean voice-over full of cussing).
Anyway, I went with hard man and used the first take, adding some images. The video isn't exactly going to win awards but Rob did a great job on the voice.

I then submitted the project to Kickstarter and waited. Next day, it was approved and I launched it! I then cooked dinner, ate dinner, bathed 2.5 year old and put him to bed. My phone was on silent, so I had no idea that there were several "new backer" emails awaiting me! All from people that I've never met and will probably never meet. I've backed projects on Kickstarter from people that I'll never meet, but it's quite a different experience being the backee. In a really good way.
