While I've never helped to fund a Kickstarter project and have written in the past about how cautious people should be on the platform, this project really interests me because of the focus on video game music.
"The Players' Score: A Videogame Music Documentary" launched into a crowdfunding campaign today with Kory Caldwell and Keaton Slansky driving the project's wide-reaching view on game music in and outside of the medium. Essentially, the documentary hopes to "explore the cultural and personal impact of game music through live interviews with prominent videogame music cover bands, chiptunes artists, and the composers who inspire them."
The video above and the Kickstarter page featured here have details about how much has already been done towards completing the project. In a release, Caldwell said:
Early on in production I was playing the Shovel Knight soundtrack in my car with the windows down and somebody yelled 'Yeah!' and pointed at me as I passed them. I have no idea if they recognized the song, but I know that this music resonates with more people than you think.
Currently, the Kickstarter page asks for $20 or more to receive a copy of the film upon release.
