If the campaign is successful everyone who ordered a T-shirt will get one. The money will be split between me, Anton (the designer) and the campaign site. If the required minimal amount of preorders is not reached, the campaign fails, the people gets their money back and that's it. > Why did you choose this indirect way? The direct ways were always on the website. Donations for Linterna Mágica are rare. We had one big donation from ThinkPenguin (Chris thanks again!) few years ago. Only few people donated (you know who you are, thanks!) over the years. Last year we had a survey [1] in which very few participated. It showed that we have a problem in the donation are. > People who buy this t-shirt do it for the sole purpose of giving money to you > > for your work, so why taking away some part of this money for the t-shirt > manufacturer etc.... This is a zero-cost-entry campaign for us... well I've spent one night with 4 hours of sleep, but still. :) The campaign on the T-shirts themselves could reach people (offline) whom we cannot, because we don't walk on the same path over the Internet. As I've said donations are rare, so we are trying this more dynamic approach with additional benefit for those who are wondering should they make a financial contribution. I would love it if people donated more, because I would be able to spent more time on Linterna Mágica and they would get better Linterna Mágica. Work on LM cannot be compared with anything for hire, unfortunately I can work on it in my "spare" time. Thats the cruel reality. :) [1] http://e-valkov.org/linterna-magica-survey/results
