Wait so you paid around 25k in hopes of raising 35k, were you expecting to raise significantly more?
edit: apparently they paid 15k in hopes of raising 30k, which is still a lot.

Admittedly, we've been a bit light on specifics for price. But that's only because I'm worried it will undervalue Knox Avenue. Those folks can get by with charging a LOT more than they charged us.
Sandwich Video (a much bigger name in this space) starts at $250k for a video. And if you have the budget, they're worth it. Knox Avenue is ridiculously awesome and we were excited to be able to still afford them!

Thanks for the reply. Great product and you deserve your pay day. So good job! And as I said can't wait for the release. Going to be a lot of icons that will be put to good use by millions of sites. All the best! Maybe throw a bit of that scratch at the company that made the video. I think that helped you guys out quite a bit.

$30,000 was the minimum for them to cash in on the kickstarter. They were planning to get a whole lot more money. That video probably more than paid for itself in bringing the project more exposure.
