I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules for promoting this, but I recently found out about this Kickstarter campaign to digitize the entire run of Cinefex magazine. If you know anything about special effects in movies, or even have a passing interest, you know about Cinefex. You know how thorough and in-depth their coverage of a movie's effects are, and what a great source of behind the scenes photos and stories they are. They have already reached their goal, but they want to reach a milestone of third most funded project. They have several levels of giving, as low as $1, with several sets of digital issues you can buy. I bought their Star Wars set for $20 for 8 issues. Other sets include a James Cameron collection and a Stan Winston collection. You can also get the entire 126 issue run, which include many out of print issues, for $315. And many of the individual issues, particularly the out of print ones, go for hundreds on ebay.
The funding will be over tomorrow, August 16 at 6:30pm, so you may want to hurry.
Like I mentioned, they have reached their goal, so the project is a go. The individual issues will eventually be available for download for iPads through iTunes for $4.99 each.
I thought I'd post about this since I think many of you guys here would be interested. Personally I think it's an awesome idea and I can't wait to get my set.
