As a fairly frequent casual investor I very rarely donate to IGG (except to campaigns based in the UK) simply because I want them to work hard to raise there money, not simply be guaranteed my donation from the off. I donated to Kickstarter more frequently because I know that 50% of the time I won't end up paying a penny and this frees me up to do a lot more casual investing and I think this is probably true of a lot of people...
To me, this verges on fraud. So if a filmmaker is asking for $20,000IndieGoGo totally deincentivises the entire process of crowdfunding because there's no deadline for you to meet. You get whatever you can raise so if some clown is aiming for $20,000 but only three people donate him $10 he still gets to keep that $30. As a result people who use IGG tend to be lazier about promoting their campaign because there's no urgency.

This is didn't know. I looked around the Kickstarter site (clearly not
hard enough) with this in mind. I might be tempted to donate knowing
that if the project isn't funded I don't have to pay out.
Not too bad at all.
Any idea on how many people who don't know you or
anyone connected to your movie at all are donating?
