Your way of crowdsourcing the funds is slightly different though.
It's interesting that the fund is pre-budgeted. Who budgets it? The artist or the customers? From my understanding, the budget is used for accountability purposes. The artist can't just blow it all on random stuff. However, is this too restrictive? Isn't the artist in the best position to determine how much should be spent on what?
Edit: By the way, it's awesome to see that you've already started talking to your target market and getting feedback that they want to join. Have you talked to the other target market. Namely the customers who will be funding? Are they willing to put up the money? Great start so far!
- foenix 15y agoThanks for the link! I've not only been talking to my target market, but the more I dive into this project, the more I see myself becoming my target market… I think that I've seen a few collectives run into these sorts of accountability issues, and it would probably be up to the artist with respect to what they'd do for it. With regards to a TV approach, I already know of two genres with low-hanging fruit: world-wide documentaries/vlogs and talking-head kind of comedy (ala funny or die, parks and recreation, or the office). I have no idea how to raise money, but I really don't want to raise money until it's already profitable, that way the collective would only be answering to itself. EDIT: Thinking about it more, a crediting system based on popularity and income could build an incrementally higher fee for making it free, but that money would transparently go into making the production better. Like buying another set for a film, or putting together a music video for a band.
