Please support my Running Project

Hi, I'm Otto, and I'm looking for your support to accelerate my Running Project. It seems that nobody else was stupid enough to run the same route for a year with a headcam to capture year time-lapses. I liked the idea, and I am excited to share this first scene with you!

Why I started this project:

In January 2019, I started to go for a run every day because I wanted to become a better person that keeps commitments. After a year, I was impressed that I statistically climbed Mount Everest three times with just ~77 meters elevation climb per day.

This inspired me to make a running video to encourage people that consistent small steps every day lead to significant achievements. So I went running for another year with a head-mounted camera.

With 4200 videos on my computer, I'm prepared to edit many year time-lapses and bring them together to an inspirational video. And I'm totally aware: This will take me a lot of time.

Why I'm looking for your support:

While capturing the videos for this long-term project, I ran into five-figure debts. My start-up was too young to get financial support during the pandemic, and clients couldn't pay anymore. Then my co-founder decided to quit with a pay-out. I had to determine if I let down our clients or attack these terrible times and work through them.

This running project has been a great support because even with a headache, diarrhea, or hangover: It showed me that it's possible to move things forward every day, even if times are painful and shitty. So I faced it and followed through. While I'm still working out of this challenging situation, I'd love to find support from the art community to spend more time finishing this project. Whatever support comes in for these first frames of the video, you move production forward faster. And I'm grateful for that.

Thanks — Otto
