You guys have been so amazing thus far! We’re a
little more than halfway towards our computer goal, meaning we need $965
more to go in 8 days. Please share our fundraiser page with as many
people as possible. Here’s the link: http://indiegogo.com/nps
Everyone needs Power Rangers in their lives, lol!

Good news! We were given funds to purchase the video editing software, so that shaves off $1000
from our goal! Unfortunately, you can’t run software without the
computer, so we still have $1570 to raise towards the computer goal.
Thanks to those who have donated thus far!

We've got a sponsor for the Adobe Production
software...under one condition. If we get the new computer for No Pink
Spandex, then the sponsor will provide the software.
Therefore, the first threshold to reach is $2000. Please share this page with your friends. There are literally no means of producing video with a dying computer. -----
Story
No Pink Spandex is a Power Rangers news website with a podcast in audio and video. We discuss the current show, past seasons, news, and interview cast and crew members including Jason David Frank (Tommy, Original Green Ranger, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers) and David Yost (Billy, Original Blue Ranger, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers).
On September 17, 2011, NPS turned six years old. We have our Jansport backpack filled with newly bought notebooks, sharpened pencils, and big erasers waiting to dry out by the school year's end.
I don't know about you, but 1st grade was awesome. I made best friends there, who I fought and made up with all the time. My first grade teacher was great too. She taught us big vocabulary words and kept us current with the first Iraq war every morning. I cried a lot too. Sometimes for no good reason. When my 6-year-old self finally grew a pair, it was the best feeling to overcome all those nonsensical tears. First grade was a new start. A new beginning. A rude awakening. Pick yourself up, girl. This isn't "nap time" anymore.
I say all of this because NPS is seeing its new beginning as well. I'm at a crossroads. It's either get by with the resources I have now, or really invest into what can make NPS the best it can be. Obviously, the latter is more epic, so I'll break it down for you as transparent as I can be: We need equipment.

Impact
Our crew goes to different conventions around the country, films Power Rangers alumni, and edits video footage for online consumption. In 2010, we've been to 4 different conventions. In 2011 (not including our own event No Pink Spandex Live), 1. Why the decrease?
- Computers are dying. If I can't run my normal editing programs, then there are no videos. This is the current problem, and this has been the problem for the past 2-3 years. I've been getting by by fixing things along the way, but I can only patch up so much.
- Software needs major upgrades. To make a long story short, new upgrades to my editing programs will make the editing process more efficient. More efficiency means faster production, and we all like fast things. Unfortunately, upgrades aren't just chump change. They're some real dollars and cents.
- We're still in standard definition. The videos that you've seen have looked great because my current camera is a great SD camera, but it has kept us back from what I envision for NPS. With the bump to HD, I can produce better quality videos, and further down the line, produce an actual fan film. The thing is, there's bad HD and good HD. Of course, we want the latter.
Breakdown
All of this is going to take $7000 to make a difference. Many people don't know how much it costs to produce video, so I'm giving you the context now.
- Custom PC from CyberPowerPC.com
- Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium
- Panasonic AG-HVX200A HD Camera
Every single dime donated will be going to these three items. Costly, yes, but I have faith that the goal can be reached...especially when you will be getting cool stuff: Advertisement on our popular website, rare No Pink Spandex prints (trust me, you really want this), No Pink Spandex DVD with never-before-seen footage, the opportunity to be a host on our show, and much more!

Help
You can help by donating and sharing this IndieGoGo page with your friends and family. I am dead set on reaching that goal. I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen. If I have to go back to my high school roots and bake some brownies, then so be it. Please know that I will be working hard to raise funds so that in the end, everyone can enjoy the results.
The new 6-year-old,
Lisa J
