  • it seems it is time to work, keep talking here is disturbing me. I need to find a balance between work and talk.

    Donation Report for the Apefoscope Project:

    Total amount in the moment of this post: 419,01 usd (after removing paypal fees)

    The Money Will be used to test lens coating options and the extra amount to build a few bodies so I do not need to keep changing lenses in just one body to test the coatings. Will upload a video to vimeo showing coating comparison.

    As we agreed before the donations are non-refundable and non-discountable when buying the product. Donors will have priority in buying if they want to.

    No need more donations to finish the project but If I get more donations I will report it here and use the money to build units for sell: http://www.apefos.com

    I reaffirm my responsibility and commitment to the project and I thank immensely the trust placed in me.

    I will keep you posted!

    PS: I loved the 33,33 usd anamorphic donation!

  • 20 bucks on the way! Good luck!

  • At this moment there is no task to do for the project, and I am needing to disconnect the mind a little bit, maybe watch tv or just see the rain falling.

  • Just got it! thanks!

  • Hopefully that will put you near or over buddy :)

  • @B3Guy Any small donation is welcome, bus tickets are 1,30 usd and I use a lot.

    I will wait donations until Tuesday when I will report the total amount.

  • @anti12 Stats (plays, likes, comments) just raised up!

    But don't worry, priority on buying is for donors from PV.

  • Any small donation will help a lot, I think (correct me if I'm wrong @apefos, but you don't need much). Skip your latte today, throw the cash his way, and he just might have enough.

  • @apefos

    Good to have you back on Track. Looks like You've got a lot of people interested on vimeo.

  • @apefos

    Great man, keep the heat on! Keep the eyes open! Keep the price low! LOL

  • If there is someone who follows this topic but was not advised yet about the donation, please consider helping the project donating a small amount at: http://www.apefos.com

    The amount will be used to try the coating options and complete the project. A video showing the differences in flares will be uploaded to vimeo.

    If the donations exceed the amount needed to try coatings I will use it to start building units.

  • Yesterday morning I was feeling sad because the project was frozen due to no wherewithal, but after sending the PMs people started to donate and I felt some kind of a catharsis inside me so I became so happy talking about movie and comedy ideas...

    now after a night sleep my feet are on the ground again. So let's keep the work in that serious way. (don't worry, I did not spent any cent celebrating, I was home watching tv and in front of my old notebook)

    I will wait the weekend and one more working day (Monday), for people who did not read yet the PMs I sent about the donation, and in Tuesday I will do a report about each donation I got.

  • Ok, I just shut up! (edit post: almost forgot, my car is the blue one.)

  • @apefos

    How about just make good adapters?

  • Another idea for comedy:

    Starts with Lonney Tunes logo, than:

    A brazilian and a chinese guys jockeying a race cheating each other like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck...

    With Americans and Europeans in the grandstand placing it's bets...

    The porky pig can be a russian guy who take the bets.

    And in the end: That's All Folks!

  • Stop spamming my inbox.

  • @Jean71 that's great idea... Larger than Life. At the end everything is anamorphic...

    Also, when I start to get nightmares about optical designs, the images in dream can start to stretch and squeeze and I fall from the bed.

  • @apefos

    About your film idea: it can be for "Life in a day 12-12-12" (The brasilian guy, going around with the bus, as you said you do, to reach the coating man. And some people in europe and usa that states that you can do it, or you can't do it (as you said). At the end (of the day) everything is anamorphic! Does it means that you did it? Yes, you show your tool. The title could be "Larger than life"? lol

  • Just got a 33,33 usd donation, LOL!

    First anamorphic donation for real!
