The Return of Nova Prime... Maybe

[gensmith117]

I also would love Melody back

[Director B]

Many of you guys seem to want Melody Sky back. We need to see what the boss thinks.

[Director B]

The Boss says there are not enough people to warrant another video with Melody Sky. The fight to get her to the UK is about £600. Oh well. It was a good thought.

I'd be willing to kick in $150 pre-order, anybody else willing to make a bid? Suppose only those who pre-order have a vote on elements, and you get one vote for every $25 you kick in? It's a thought...

We had at least two others in the poll that indicated they would be willing to consider kicking in more to make it happen...

I have no objection to that, but I'm not the boss, let's see what he thinks. Maybe send him a PM.

I would be willing to kick in £ 150 too. Thanks !

Well, I had a word with the boss, and he said we would need 1,000 pounds, which would translate to US$1,200. He doubts we have enough fans that can raise that much. There would have to be ten who will put in $120 each, or 12 at $100 each, and they will probably want an element each. Of course, 10 - 12 elements are workable, but more would be impossible to incorporate without making the video unsaleable to the general population.

Thoughts everyone, or is this dead in the water?

If semenko99's and SSkykingDA's offers still stand, that's $300 of that amount taken care of. I'd be glad to chip in $150, although I wouldn't be able to pay that until early next month. According to the poll that SSkyking started (viewtopic.php?f=40&t=21413), there are seventeen other people that would preorder, so there are probably enough to cover the required cost.

Additionally, I have a couple ideas about further ways that you guys could raise the money required:
1. There could be a couple different preordering options. Maybe a $70-80 option that includes the peril and extreme versions of the video, plus extra footage, and then a $100-120 option that includes both versions, the extra footage, maybe some behind the scenes pictures or bloopers, and the ability to request an element in the video. That way, people that cannot afford to pay $120 upfront could still contribute. For people who want to request multiple elements, additional requests could be added in increments of, say, $50.

2. An extra footage release from a previous Melody video. Since there wouldn't really be any production costs associated with such a release, most of the money made off of a ~$20 release could be used to fill in deficiencies left by the preordering system. Plus, in the event that enough money could not be raised, it would make a nice concession to the people that were really hoping for a Melody return. Primed for Action would be a good candidate for this, since it apparently had an extra footage release that is no longer available through the store.

Happy to contribute $120 for a preorder as long as there is some chloro and cradle carry action.

[Director B]

Guys, if you want this to happen, please PM Blue with your suggestions. As he said to me, it has to be ten who will put in $120 each, or 12 at $100 each.

[melvin1010]

I too would like to contribute $120 with 1 or 2 elements!

[Bluestone]

I too would like to contribute $120 with 1 or 2 elements!

Yes, PM your requested element(s) to me along with your commitment.

If you end up a contributor short let me know. I may be able to help.

[Director B]

Well, guys, according to the boss, the wheels are in motion - I will keep you guys in the loop.

C'mon folks, we can do this!
