Wing Commander Album Campaign Unsuccessful (November 13, 2016)

[ChrisReid]

The attempt to fund a second live Wing Commander Album ended this morning without reaching the required $35,000 threshold. Fans did turn out strong with $27,777 pledged, but Kickstarter rules mean that none of this money will be collected. The campaign did earn a congenial "Projects We Love" endorsement from the Kickstarter administrators themselves, and composer George Oldziey remains upbeat. In his spare time, he will continue to do some of the pre-orchestration in the hopes of picking up again in the future!

I want to wholeheartedly thank all of the wonderful people that pledged to this campaign. I'm so sorry it didn't work out this time. I do plan to try again, probably early next year. I may have to rethink the structure of the whole thing. Using Kickstarter was very successful last time, and we also managed to raise supplemental funds after the KS campaign. I thought starting with the same goal here would yield similar results. Oh well. I'd be happy to entertain ideas on how to move forward. I'm guessing that waiting until after the holidays is a wise decision.

Anyway, I'm not giving up, and will actually continue to orchestrate the music in anticipation of recording it some day!

All the best to you and yours, and have a great upcoming holiday season!

George
