I created a video for this project. You guys could share it around.

The video is great. Things I don't like: words are so faster, and the final words are using a lot of time in comparison with the rest of the words. The rest, perfect. :)
Bumping this again for anyone who may have not seen this yet, or for anyone who has considered donating but has not done so yet.
We've raised €360 so far out of our goal of €4500, with 19 days left to go. 16 donations have been made so far from a wide variety of countries ranging from Canada to Japan, so the interest is definitely out there! :)
There is an exciting bonus offer at hand as described in the first update! Sikke has offered to upload all of the reels in his personal collection to Queenzone if the goal is met :D
Can you be more specific on what songs and how much of each show was filmed? And more important: how much of each show will be in the documentary? All the available footage or just snippets?
Leiden 86 for example, sounds nice but if it's only "One Vision" it's not interesting at all.
The projekt cant just be of lower quality cause of the lack of 4000. Thats just above a normal monthly salary... Even i can get a loan like that in a lokal shop.
Indeed, a lot of money had already gone into production costs, with studio work involved as proven in Sikke's recent Facebook photos. Studios alone are not cheap, unless you own your own (which few people do on an independent basis that are capable of this level of professional production quality).
And he and his fellow production committee members already invested in some footage, mostly smaller bits since as has been stated numerous times already both here and elsewhere, procuring the much longer reels of footage (eg. concerts) is the really expensive part.

Is it really that difficult to answer? Reminds me of Greg Brooks....
Well this campaign has now come to a close, we'd like to thank everyone who contributed to the final sum of €375 EUR. Although far short of our goal, nonetheless as we've said before this money will be invested wisely to the best extent possible.
That being said, we now have the trailer for the documentary up on YouTube!
Side note: Yes, we realize the "Ahoy 1983" caption is a mistake. The people in charge of putting the trailer together had not been able to reach Sikke in time...
Once again, thanks to everyone who contributed, and to those who helped spread the word through social media, as well as Jen at brianmay.com for the promotional boost.
The documentary, now called "Queen Forever in Nederland," will be broadcast on Nov. 23rd on 192 TV - http://www.192tv.nl
