The Computer History of Australia
This is a new series from the creator of the 'State of Electronics' series - Karl von Moller. If you have watched any of the State of Electronics series you will know the quality of the work that Karl does, including the brilliant videography, composition and story telling.
The Computer History of Australia is to be a 17 Episode series and there are 2 Episodes available already.
However, and here is the call to action, Karl needs some assistance.
From his GoFundMe page :
" We need your help to tell these stories for the purpose of buying the rights to use stock and or archival footage held by individuals, companies and organisations who deal in licenseable footage approximately $500 per episode. Some more others may be less depending on the length. While all effort has been made to negotiate or waiver these fees, many of these organisations will not supply the required footage without some form of payment. The State of Electronics channel provides all the information for free and there is no return from Youtube that amounts to anything tangible to help with this problem, so we are now appealing for help from the community to solve this issue. Anything you can do will help record and replay the Computer History of Australia for all to see. "
To be sure, times are tough for a lot of people right now, but even the smallest of donations can help this really important project be all that it can be. If you have seen and appreciated Karl's work and want to see this really important story fully realised, please consider donating to help it get there.
