Neil – you can find some case studies in the Further Reading material (I left these out of the main article mainly due to space). The chapter from ‘How to Fund your Film’ is especially useful in this regard. I also recommend checking out some of the case studies from the Power to the Pixel conference. For instance, in the Age of Stupid talk (http://www.babelgum.com/4005224/distribution-case-study-age-stupid-franny-armstrong-lizzie-gillett.html) Franny Armstrong and Lizzie Gillett touch upon the legal side of crowd funding. To be honest, though, from what I’ve seen and read it’s all too new for there to be any solid ‘rules’.

Hope that helps a little.
Alex.

However, I would have liked a few case studies re: crowd funding, to get an idea of how successful it has been, and what pitfalls there might be, if there are any hard and fast rules etc.

But apart from that I find it excellent and highly useful
