EDIT: The people have spoken.  Grateful for all your generosity -- it will make the new series even greater.  I'll go ahead and charge for the trailer tomorrow morning PST.   Thanks always for your generous support -- see you soon!

ORIGINAL POST:

In just two days, I will be releasing the official trailer for my next series, THE HUMAN FUTURE.  I have spent months crafting the script and trailer and I'm incredibly excited to show you all.

Which leads me to an important question for my patrons:

Are you comfortable being charged your pledge amount for this trailer?

I am asking because it would be helpful to have extra support during the production of this monumental project. My posting schedule is very infrequent, and this would put more resources toward the project.  But I will fully understand if  you would prefer only being charged for the full episodes (likely ~20 to 30 minutes each, the first coming in a 3-4 months.)

The visuals and music in the trailer are on par with all my short-form works, and patrons would receive the art pack, music downloads, and all traditional rewards that come with all my releases.

Please vote in the poll below!  I will assess the results tomorrow and let you know.

And I will see you on Thursday either way!

Thanks a billion,

Charge me but I give you my trust to give us, subscribers, an incredible wow effect for the final product that we will be proud to say that we contributed to!

I’m glad to be changed

Yup - A-OK with it considering the quality of the content.

For my financials as a student, I would have to decrease my tier (from currently 27€ with VAT) while you release the trailer.

I want you to keep doing what you've been doing. I looked through the tiers for a monthly contribution rather than by production but didn't see one. Maybe I missed it. If one doesn't exist, please consider adding one.

As long as you don't feel like you are taking advantage of us, then go for it. I would prefer to not be charged more than once a month on average. Whatever you think is best.

More than comfortable with it, they're several factors that play into it: you're active with your community, quality is magnificent and most importantly the level of scientific outreach and inspiration you bring is is stellar, my only regret is that I'm not giving more, and at risk of sounding like a Mastercard ad, knowing that your work and outreach like it is helping along a further generation of people passionate about the universe is priceless.

Your work is worth every money so I will be more than happy if you charge me.

It is ok if you charge for the trailer as your work is always spectacular, but I would prefer a more consistent schedule at this point, because sometimes I am charged and I am not even sure why

Why are we paying for a trailer 🥲. Then again it looks like theres a lot of small donations and the big donators are not going to enjoy paying for just a trailer. I love your work but I'm not interested in paying $25 for a trailer.

I don't currently have a monthly tier since I would feel uncomfortable charging monthly when I only release every few months. But it's something I would consider if I can find a way to deliver content more frequently -- like via YouTube shorts.

Thank you! I would never charge more than once in a month -- my average is about every 4 months. My feeling is that this is a fair compromise between charging monthly, like most Patreon creators, and charging per creation, which sometimes take 6 months to a year to make.

That's totally cool with me! You can re-pledge again later if you want, no pressure. Grateful for any support given!

Thanks for your input Michael -- I totally understand your position. But I'll elaborate on my reasoning. I poured a lot of work into the trailer and it's essentially equivalent to a stand-alone video; by supporting this you are helping the project as a whole by funding it up-front as well as in the final product. Most patreon creators charge monthly but my releases are very infrequent, so this is a way to garner a little more support from my patrons, which will be much appreciated as this series is particularly expensive and time-intensive. But it will be worth it! It looks like the majority of people are cool with supporting it -- but feel free to drop your pledge if you feel I'm overreaching. Grateful for your support either way and no pressure. Thanks always!

Sure you can! Your movies get me so many chills moment in my life that i will always support your work! It was a great pleasure to observe how you grow from a catchy, educational tunes to this massive, uniqe and cinematic piece of art! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you're doing!

I can definitely understand those that are bigger contributors potentially having some hesitancies for paying for trailers but for me personally I am happy to.

Achuu

When I first pledged (on day1), I was set on donating every month anyway. I wanna support your work, no matter what.

Mate that 2 minute trailer gave me tingles and the feeling of anticipation is worth every penny.

I upped my membership level just to support this so, have at'er

Maria

Absolutely! Upped my tier for support :) Your work is worth every cent :)

Also wanna add that asking for additional support is totally reasonable here, but paying for the trailer is not what I understand when agreeing to "X$ per video". If there is an alternative to ask for one-time additional donations, I would prefer that.
