Kickstarter and the WINGStand project

Mathies — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 20:39:07 +0000

I’ve been fascinated by the concept of Kickstarter ever since I first discovered it a while ago. I’ve read many amazing stories of small projects and ideas that get overwhelming support from people who like what they see. If you don’t know Kickstarter you ought to check it out immediately since there’s so many cool projects, and maybe there’s something there you’ll really like. Today I found one.

Daniel Haarburger is a Stanford University student and he has developed a product called the WINGStand and it looks great! He set a goal to get backing of $9,500 and as I write this the total backing is close to $40,000. His case is not unique, and a lot of many projects are discovered, hyped and backed by the community. I admire Kickstarter for creating this platform where creative people can reach out and seek for financial aid to support an idea.

So go ahead, chip in and help people create stuff. If you find something you think is cool, you don’t even have to pledge more than $1. Personally I find the WINGStand amazing, so I made sure to back the project with enough $$ to get a stand myself.

Wintery Wonderfulness

I rarely post stuff here on galimathies other than my own work, but ever since I saw this video over at Kitsune Noir the other day it has been stuck in my mind. Aesthetically, this two-minute video is a work of art and the wintery vibe is so calming and cool! The guy who shot the video, Stebs Schinnerer, did the whole thing (with editing!) in only three hours, which just makes the whole thing even more amazing.

Tegneri

David Lasky er en rigtig dygtig tegner! Han har blandt andet lavet nogle gode ting med Dylan i fokus. Han er nu startet på et projekt sammen med Frank M. Young med titlen Carter Family Comics, der gerne skulle munde ud i en grafisk novelle med titlen “Don’t Forget This Song”. Det ser jeg frem til at følge!

At lave en kampagne-video udelukkende via genbrugte klip er en god måde at sprede et budskab på!
