I think the whole product for us (supporters) is a bit hard. We really want to IMHO just raise coin for Disabled surfers and i guess secondly recognition to those companies involved. SO that they get more bang for buck. Obviously product used is important, Board, Camera
If its about coin then many of us could prostitute the idea out to local retailers for a simple donation as well
That way we'd get cover all over Aus and i believe we can have a two fold result. Footage to make a great film, from the investment in time and energy as well as Money for a great charity. There for adding further value to the sponsor's for steeping up.
As for t-shirts for all in and that kind of thing it may get a bit messy, difficult to distribute. Maybe any product like that donated could be auctioned for coin
Note: I have no issue with the organisers getting some gear for nicks as its there hard work that will benefit others fro there good deeds
I don't want anything in return,the more money raised the better imo,say a clothing company chipped in some dollars and gave us all a tee to wear during filming well that's all fine.Gives them something for their bucks.
^^^^jb mate im not asking anyone to do anymore than what they have already done.
what im asking really is do you all care that your heads could end up on the idiot box or a mag in order to make more money for charity,because thats what will happen in order to keep our sponsors happy.
im stoked either way,this was a drunken idea that has turned into something i believe will be unreal either way we go.
But im more than happy to spend the time(which i have) to approach potential sponsors and make some big coin for the cause.
look im really getting a buzz out off this and want everybody else to as well. this might have been my idea,yet it would not happen if it wasnt for ALL OFF US being good blokes and our love of surfing. so in reality its not about me,its all about want we all want to do
Good ideas there Daneli - make this the dry run so to speak and then go for gold next time around? I am a hoping we can do this more than once. I am sure that if we do a good job it would not be hard to get similar support.
But I am happy to go with the flow - I think it can be big or small - the main thing is that we are going to hopefully put a smile on the faces of a few people less fortunate than ourselves. However we achieve this I do not mind - as long as we give the smiles to some well deserving people.
ok, we have a split decision here
ok if we get approval to be associated with the disabled surfers(im hoping they will say yes) i already have $7000 from potential sponsors,hence why i think 10 g will be easy. im loving the fact everyone i speak to is willing to give some coin. so $10,000 will be easy for me to raise (imo)
im happy to keep it small and grow as ted has pointed out......but im a all in or all out kind of pig(hence my life) so me, im happy to go out and go hard for the coin......
only if you lads let me and are willing to get your heads out there on the big screen ...im ready
hey if we do $10,000 this year,wow what can we be making in 20 years
at the end of the day i just wanted a cool movie for my grand grommies...so im stoked no matter what
absolutely mate - gotta admire ya passion , probbly raise more & have more contributors being aligned officially.
Teddy has a good point in a dry run too - organisations would soon see the potential
Chrispy if you have 7k lined up already then the answer is there in front of us - GO LARGE !!!!!!
Well farrrrken done to you. We had now better get our stuff together and produce an epic film to match!!!! Do we know any film fellas who would like to edit it? We could get the movie thrown in to the Aust Surf movie festival...perhaps....from my first effort with my Samoan movie I can assure you that there is a great deal of skill and experience required fro good one ......and we need to be careful with how much footage we shoot. 5 and 10 second shots make life easy for editing. Its not often you will use a big long sequence. Loads of footage of crap that you think looks good when you film it and then when you re-look at it sucks! Makes the editing task a mission.
We need a good plan with this sort of cashola on the table
yes Ted its getting serious now a lot of constructive thought has to be had by all.Keep it simple.
not really,got to have stacks and smacks
Chrispy you might have to meet up with the reps from the other states and have a conference over a weekend to get things sorted
Calling simgromdo calling simgromdo - where are you simgromdo
Edit - yesp - thas what a good acting Prez would do Asea
