So in saying that, I'm not speaking about myself, but I have a question.
To be blunt, when will those of us who are not donating get a chance to see the clip? And also, how far do you intend to go with this "donate to watch" sceme?
I don't mean to be rude, I'm just bieng curious.
I will say that I have my own issues with "how far is too far" when dealing with these kinds of projects, my own included. I of course have only good will towards yours.
well here is what i originally wrote

as you can see i stated that anyone thinking of donating and didn't intend this to be taken as anything like "donate to watch". all i intended it to be was a little thank you and i did this with ANH:R but no one saw it that way last time. i'm not doing the edits for anything other than my love of doing these. But this one is costing me a fortune and i just would never be able to get this done without help because i am unemployed. all the donations go directly to the purchase of materials needed. i spend most of my day, every day working on this project and without help i would be working on this one until 2011 probably while i can get enough money to get the materials needed. everyone that donated knows that this doesn't mean that they will be sent a copy of the final movie and that has always been made clear because the final release will always be free. the problem is now that it has been made to look like people have been paying to see a clip when that was never the case and this could now get this project shut down when all it was intended for was a thank you
now the main reason i started giving people a chance to see a clip or trailer earlier if they donated was down to what hapened with the X0 project. many people donated towards that project and it just disappeared. i didn't want people to worry that if they donate then the project would just never happen in the end.
now i don't know why you haven't received the link to the clip because i have sent it to everyone who donated to the email address they donated through since i announced this.
