Wow, I can’t believe we have been lucky enough to do three seasons of Shuffle Up & Play! Let’s keep this party going – I’m doing a fourth season of Shuffle Up & Play, but the costs of this show are beyond that of anything else I do on my YouTube channel, by A LOT!

The cost to fly out three guests per episode from all over the world, cover their hotel and food and of course offer a fair appearance fee for their time and effort, not to mention paying our amazing crew of editors, the cost of equipment, computers, lights, cameras, and so many other behind the scenes expenses… it all adds up… which is why I’m running this Kickstarter!

With the funding from this Kickstarter, we are hoping to:

Both maintain and improve the equipment needed to make the series
Be able to fly out our awesome guests, both new and old, and pay them fairly for their appearances
Improve upon our video, sound, music, and other effects
Pay a full time staff of editors, camera and lighting operators, and audio engineers.

… and more!

The more funding we can generate for Season 4, the less we will have to rely on additional funding methods such as selling sponsored ads to cover the costs of the show.

As of May 13th, this project has raised $115,000 of their $150,000 goal. This project has 35 days left to raise the $150,000 or it will not be funded. For a pledge of $5, you will get one fan audition ticket. For a pledge of $34, you will get one token pack.
