Keys to a Successful Crowd-funding Video
1. You have to be short and succinct 60 to 90 seconds is great.
2. Don't look like you are reading a script. (Be passionate)
3. Use graphics/broll or supporting evidence for things you can't say.
4. Get behind the scenes pics so you can share with your personal social network
5. Say and make sure you have a link to the fundraiser site (kickstarted, gofundme, indiegogo, paypal) make sure it is easy for people to know how to donate even if they see the video somewhere other than the donation site.
