914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914 Documentary

Posted by: Eric_Shea Mar 1 2015, 04:49 PM

Hey Gang,

Great News! Jaime (oldschool) has agreed to ride shotgun as camerman on the journey across this great land of ours. We will be putting together a real video documentary on the 914 and it's owners as we make the trek.

Jamie has agreed to voulteer his time whch means, he's not getting paid to do this for us. I've built a simple "Kickstart" campaign to help cover his costs on the trip. We're not looking to get rich, just cover some of the expenses for the week and for the editing.

We will be interviewing 914 owners as we cross the country. Please check the schedules in the cross-country thread. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=248663

With your help, we'll have one hell of a video documentary of our little cars and the people who help keep them together.

I've put together a few rewards for donations:

1. For each $10.00 donated, you'll receive a PMB "rotor/caliper" keychain.
2. For each $20.00 donated, you'll receive a commemorative t-shirt, a keychain and "Benefactor" statis in the credits for the documentary.
3. For each $100.00 donated, you'll receive 20% off a PMB caliper order and all of the above.

Here's the link:

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think that you need some Midwest stops in the documentary.

Posted by: Java2570 Mar 2 2015, 08:25 AM

Done! I agree....more Midwest stops!!

Posted by: RazorbackFan78 Mar 2 2015, 08:37 AM

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me you'll edit together all the clips of people walking up during filming "finally, a Fiat documentary" or "hey what kind of cars are those, oh are you sure?"

And you could run the clips off to the side while credits are rolling at the end of the documentary - you know, like outtakes or bloopers. It's a part of the 914 experience whether we like it or not, right. Why not poke fun at it!!!

Tremendous First Day Gang!!

Thanks to all of our 914World friends and our Facebook friends for making this an amazing first day. The project is over 1/3rd of the way there in just one day. 71% from right here!

Please "Share" and let every 914 owner in the world know about the project. The intent is to tell "your" story. Why you fell in love with this little gem and why you keep them running and running strong.

There's no doubt the 914 has gotten under our skin and tugged at our heartstrings. Now's the time to let the world know why.

Thanks so much for your support. Let's keep the momentum going!

This is cool, Eric! I feel bad as hell for Oldschool, of course. Who doesn't? But this is a cool idea.

Kickstarter isn't a new service. It has been around for some time, and provides some useful functions. The primary purpose that it serves is providing a mechanism that allows the donors to be assured that they will only make the contribution if the overall fundraising goal is met. If the goal isn't met, no one pays. In this case, that is not really an issue. In fact, it may present an issue - if the $6,000 goal isn't met, no one is charged, and therefore Eric and Jamie receive nothing. Let's help him reach the goal.

Hey Gang,

Another big "THANK YOU" for everyone who has supported the cause. We still have a ways to go to get this funded but, I have confidence... it shall be done! thumb3d.gif

Four days in and we only have $2.5k to go. But, as Steve says... we need to make the goal to fund the project! We could use your support gang. We've raised more than this for "bail" in the past. biggrin.gif

Thanks again for your support and please, rally the troops so we can make this a reality!!

I called the other day looking for some advice on how to set up my brakes. I had a lot of questions. I was told Eric was very busy working on a 914-6. They put me on hold and who comes to talk to me , Eric . I had no idea you were getting the car ready for this adventure. Your the man!! Always ready to help! Even when you could least afford to time wise.
Thanks Eric!

I am in as well, but I really want a T shirt.

I mailed a check to Eric because I am funny about all of the different places that want to collect your information. May have something to do with the type of people I regularly deal with..... or it could be a generational thing.

I refuse to give my doctors my SSN now. Identity theft is no laughing matter.

Really really want to see you guys make the target!

Come People! This is a worthy 914 project. There is nothing you will see or do that will raise awareness for our cars like a project like this. I know you all will spend more that $ 20.00 for pizza and beer in one night this week.

Raising awareness raises interest, demand and value. It's all good. the next time you think about that paint job to rust repair and wonder if you can justify the cost vs the value remember this project.

Posted by: PanelBilly Mar 7 2015, 11:11 AM

If they don't raise the full amount of $ do they still get to keep the $ we signed up for? I don't want to get my $ back. Just want to make sure they get what I've agreed to pay

not true..unless the goal is met ... no fee or requirement to pay...if you send direct..its not through kickstart... a local skate shop did the same ..and if goal is not met...no charge..two different things...if you donate direct to whoever not through Kickstart it does not apply..


your decision...but not true kickstart..if you want start a donation page...kickstart has helped a ton of visions and is a conduit....to provide a goal amount..

Sounds good to me however I am not so sure they are going to need anything extra from us. It looks like it's at $5650 now- almost there!

If you 3 end up splitting the difference just to make the goal, I'll offer each one of you 2 hours or so of design and CNC work.

For reference I have about 2 hours into drawing/programming and machining this plate I made yesterday to adapt a Ford T5 transmission to a Volvo motor.

Hell yeah! I up'd my donation because this sounds awesome!
How is the documentary gonna be distributed? Youtube, HBO, ShoTime? or will it be free to all?? haha

**And no expiration date for the reward on calipers sounds good to me.

It's easy to do stories when there is a great one, with great people, to cover. I am honored to be able to cover Eric and Jamie's story.

Six grand is not the end. Please. Continue to donate to the cause.

This effort is more than just an incredible Coast to Coast road trip.
The lasting results will be a professional quality movie showing and sharing our 914 passion.

I've just got back from my interview and hanging with Eric, Andy, Jamie, Mike, Lee, James, Russ, and others at Turtle Mountain. Timing was bad for some, I heard they got there early and couldn't stay. Such is life, though.

I'm already second-guessing the things I talked about, kinda wishing I'd brought up the human element ... after all, what truly got me into these cars was the camaraderie of their owners as much as the car and its performance capability itself! As evidenced by the fact that this whole documentary thing is even going on, it's truly an amazing car, down-to-earth and simple with so much potential, owned by some amazing down-to-earth simple people. There, I said it. rolleyes.gif

Anyway, it was a big kick to talk on camera about techie stuff that I've only just begun to understand about the build of my own car. I surely am no expert, but I had fun. Forgot to mention so many things, but then it's not a documentary about my car, but all of 'em.

I'm sorry you guys didn't get to be fed, they tend to close up early in Rio Rancho. Eric, Andy, and Jamie, and Mike too, hopefully you're finding some late-night chow. I hope the rest of the drive goes well! driving.gif

YOU ROCK. aktion035.gif first.gif

Posted by: euro911 Mar 10 2015, 03:55 AM

Cool aktion035.gif

Since the Kickstart goal has been met, can I just mail you a check, Eric?

PM me your address ...







Timing couldn't be better ... just so happens I need the F & R calipers for my early 911 'restored' happy11.gif

Posted by: Eric_Shea Mar 13 2015, 05:16 PM

Hey Gang,

We did reach the goal but as JP mentioned, it's not over. I'm absolutely sure we'll go over budget on edits etc. So, if you need a really cool shirt, your name in the credits roll or, best bang for the buck, 20% off your upcoming caliper order... The Kickstarter campaign should still be active for a few days.

We really wanted to THANK YOU for your support and encourage you to keep the drive alive.

Ironically, we had people thanking us for coming out and filming them... This documentary would be absolutely "nothing" without you coming out and sharing your story.

Hopefully we'll meet a bunch more tonight and tomorrow!

Thanks again!

E.

think that was part of the deal for donating to the kickstarter fund -don't remember if there was a minimum donation amount to get that perk look back thru this thread I'm sure the info is there
maybe there's some post production work that could use a hand? won't hurt to ask

If you're on the Kickstarter donations list with $100.00 or more, we have your name. Send them in and request the discount as per the campaign. We'll find your name and automatically apply the discount.

Thanks for your support.
