Elysian Shadows: Next Video and Camera Donations

Post by Falco Girgis »

Our next video is going to be something different. For those of you who don't know, we are looking into upgrading our shitty ass little camera that we have been using since Chapter 8. It is no longer sufficient (video or audio) for the kind of quality that we would like from our videos. When Youtube upped their resolution and made it support widescreen, that pretty much put the last nail in the camera's coffin.

So this is the plan: We are going to be taking donations in return for doing something in our videos. You tell us how much you want to donate along with what you would like us to do. It can be anything, and we mean that. You want us to cover the particle system? Okay. You want Peter to drink something gross? Okay. Want another XxStillAVirgin69xX segment? Okay.

So far we have:
trufun - showcase our old pre-ES projects (very good one)
one of Peter's stupid friends - jump off the roof


I'm not guaranteeing that we will do anything you ask, that's why it's a request. We aren't going to release code or a demo or anything ridiculous. But you don't donate the money until we do it. I'm getting on Kleithap to get the donation button and request form up now. :)

I\'d love to help out, probably won\'t be much, but still. I\'ll have to check out what\'s coming up, aside from Digital Overload and see what I can do. You have a camera/money goal in mind?

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!

That'd be me. :evil:

And Trask, good question about the goal and camera. Actually, no. I was hoping that somebody here would suggest a good camera or something. By the way, anybody who is a "friend" on these boards can donate substantially less and get their request aired. ;)

Ah yes, the ol' days.

I've been swore to secrecy and Falco has only threatened me with my life a few times...

I would be down to donate, and as far as video cameras go let me know around how much you plan on spending and I can recommend some cameras its what I have done for the last year or so selling cameras and video cameras. Plus depending on what brand and were you get it from I might be able to get a discount anyway we can talk further about it if you want.

I'm ok with donating some cashies.

I'll donate in two conditions: 1) You decide on a camera so that we can have a target goal (I have no idea about what camera is good or not, as I own a piece of garbage) and 2) more XxStillAVirgin69xX!!!!! :lol:

So set up the paypal system already!

Well then I'll have to seriously consider donating.. How do I know what I'm actually donating towards? Sure you've got some 12 or 13 hours of video on YouTube, but who's to say your little "Private Development" forum isn't actually titled "Drugz & Narcoticz" and you guys are the second largest supplier in the US? If you mail me a signed note saying "We don't deal drugs in the Private Development forum. -Falco" I'll send you a donation and 50% of my EBay profits on the note.
