Yes, I know technically mycelium is correct, but I doubt the vast majority of people who might be interested in the movie know what that is *AND* it sounds more sensational.

Capitalize it if it is a proper noun. I don't even know what the heck a pro-whatever hinge is...is there some other way to say this? If not, shove this at the bottom or leave it of and use the "and even more!"

We've offered it before and had exactly zero takers.
Maybe the PTJ is so awesome that some people would want that this time?
CLICK THUMBS UP if you'd back the kickstarter at $1500 to get a ticket to this year's event

How about "spring terrace - water from dry land"

Good point. What about "transportable rocket heater core"?

Could it be because they would need to be there too soon? Many folks are not in a position to just drop everything and travel across states or even the country without having lots of time to make preparation. That may be financially, or scheduling vacation time, family obligations and such.

This comes off the tongue weird. What about "Other kickstarters idea of "thanks" is pretty low effort. If you're lucky they post it to social media to be instantly forgotten."Other Kickstarters offer "thanks" which is nothing, or post it to social media to be instantly forgotten.

what about "even more builds"Oh, at $80 it says all the finished builds in the movie. That seems confusing between it and the $65 level. Isn't the rocket kiln featured in the movie? Maybe not... I guess as long as you guys are sure ALL the projects are listed somewhere in the rewards AND it's clear enough, I guess it's fine.
done!Also, maybe it would sound better as "and FOUR GIFT CODES for HD Streaming of the movie that you can give to your friends."
How about: "AND you get your name (or another silly title) in the movie credits. Imblazened forever on the silver screen!"$100 level - looks like this sentence was copied over from the $15 level "You can watch it over and over for many years." Doesn't seem appropriate for the $100 level... Also, is it just your name or can you do a funny title instead? Some people may not want their real name in there...
Good call, working on it.In Paul's "About the creator" two things. Might want to change it to "aerospace software engineer" to indicate he didn't do his engineering in the air. Secondly it might be worth mentioning he wrote two books.
done!Rewards section on the right:
$1 We love all our backers THIS MUCH. Change the . to a !
fixed!$65 Here it's more clear that there are plans for some of the projects but not all (see my confusion above). Also it says "3D plans for projects featured in the movie." There's an extra space between the FOR and the PROJECTS. Was there originally a number 4 in that spot? IE "3D plans for 4 projects featured in the movie." If so that would be even better. Or at least remove the extra space...
changed to "your name in fancy animations in the movie with the other goofballs, and the words "goofballs keen on world domination""$400 Extra word to remove "fancy animations in the movie with the a few other folks"
how about "Includes everything in GLORY and the lower levels, AND your name with "Associate Producer", in the ending credits of the movie."$1000 Maybe change to "most other levels" "Includes everything in GLORY, and several other levels,"
There is madness to my method.

Cat Knight wrote:The only gripe I have is that in the preview video Paul says 14 Kickstarters and in the creator bio box on the right it says 12. I blame Kickstarter for this oversite and doubt there is a convenient way to fix it.
But I do urge you to put back the Permaculture Royalty at this year's PTJ level option. As I said, I suspect that one or more people may be saving up for that. I have several friends who kickstart things and they often save up for these big prizes with personal attention from their favorite creators as once in a lifetime experiences.

Mike Haasl wrote:Yeah, I think it is missing something at the end...
First off, when it transitions from Beau and Samantha's voices to Paul's it's a bit jarring. Maybe if the ending changes, you can say it a bit softer?
I think the end is so far from the beginning that the viewer may have forgotten what you're trying to edit. I think you could say that you have footage and interviews and need money to turn it into a movie...
Currently you have "Now for the big kickstarter question - is there enough interest to pay for the editing?"
I'd maybe change that to "We collected the video and interviews. Can this kickstarter pay to edit, animate and polish it into a full movie?" This is far from perfect poetry but maybe you get the idea?

The pieces are all there, the main thing now is to make people aware of it and generate hype so that we can make sure the instructors in the film and the creators are rewarded for their efforts. [/quote wrote:

The shaving horse is explained (yay) but the rocket kiln, rocket hot tub and spring terrace aren't. For folks that aren't intimately familiar with WL stuff, adding an explanation on them might help
