I disagree with her mostly with regards to some of the examples she chooses and her apparent inability to keep certain facts straight (neither of which invalidate her broader point, obviously), but I am still wondering where that 150k went. Because it's not video quality, quantity, or fact checking.
I hear the "Where did the money go" complaint a lot and it seems rather petty. Mostly because she asked for $6,000, got way more because the trolls brought attention to her, and did you actually back it? Let's be realistic, she asked for a fairly modest sum for what was originally 5 videos probably at her regular Feminist Frequency length, around 7 minutes. Unless you personally gave her $150k to make these videos, it's kind of low to keep bitching about it. With that said, let's do (highly assuming) maths!
First off, her original proposal on the Kickstarter called for 12 videos, the first of which would be the only one dealing with Damsels in Distress. It's now obvious that this subject actually covers three videos, which would push the numbers of videos up to 15. The first video took 9 months to get here. The second video took 2 months. If we assume the two months is closer to the schedule, that means the video series will take an additional 28 months to complete. So, 9 + 28 = 37 months, or about 3 years. So roughly $50k a year. Which would seem great if she just lived off that, wouldn't it?
Now, let's try breaking it down per video. If we accept the 15 video conceit, then that's about $10k per video. The two videos released average at about 24 minutes per video. And that's just the edited video. Who knows how many hours of work go into the pre-production of making a video. Plus, she's paying for a producer, who I would guess is the guy filming, lighting and editing, so every hour of work this guy gets paid. And if he's a decent producer, he's not doing it for cheap. Add to that the cost she's sending out for video effects by a video production company called Black Math. She could easily be spending a lot on just those two production values alone.
And all of that is before you get into her creating classroom curriculum, filling out Kickstarter rewards, money spent towards lights, a camera and all the game consoles and games necessary to actually study the medium. Making videos ain't cheap. Especially when they start breaking the 20 minute mark. There's a lot of popular video blogs on YouTube that average at about 10 minutes, and they can't be the quality they are without a team of people and sponsorships. Keep in mind, I have no direct info, and can only estimate based upon the information available on her Kickstarer page, but it seems unlikely that she's just wasting the money on blow or whatever and instead has probably put it towards making this video series for the next 2 years of her life.
