February Finanicials 2022
🕑 Added 2022-02-28 07:00:03 +0000 UTCThis morning I decided I wanted to keep track of what I've spent on this project so far. I thought because you contribute on a monetary level, you'd be interested. I'm sharing the cost breakdown with you just for the fun of it. But I will do it every year going forward as the project progresses. All figures in USD.
NOTE: This isn't a request to ask you for extra money. I'd rather bring new patreons into the fold. I'm sharing just to share and I need to keep track of this anyway.

Income sources, I do some online work reviewing podcasts and each month I get $100, I put all the money earned into this project, so far that's $1400 for writing reviews on the Repod App. I also edit a friend's podcast and 1/4 of the money earned (starting next month) will go into this project.
I have two Patreons, the other one from my YouTube channel (P1) is also being used for this project (I have the cameras and mics that I need so why not?). Both patreons total (as of creating this patreon and diverting proceeds from the other one in Nov 2021) is $147 (P1) + $70 (P2) = $217
For a total incoming of $1617
I have $318 left to pay for the other characters for the first scene (Tuvok and Chakotay). Not including new incomings.
At a later date I will sell the soundtracks as they are limited edition, in order to raise further funding.
If I did a kickstarter to raise funds this might upset Paramount, and we wouldn't want to do that would we? :-p
