Is it possible for me to create campaigns for both Indiegogo and Kickstarter? Indiegogo is great because I can get whatever I raise without meeting the goal. While Kickstarter seems to to be more famous or well-known.
Any tips?

Well, I think the thing to remember is it doesn't matter which one you post your project on
Because Kickstarter is owned by Amazon and uses amazon for processing their pledges, which helps A LOT for tax purposes. Kickstarter is also more reputable. I (as a casual pledger) will only donate to projects on Kickstarter.
But, that's exactly why it does matter.
Indiegogo you get a % of ANYTHING. Kickstarter you need to meet your goal.
Why would you use Kickstarter?

So, whether it's indiegogo or kickstarter, if at this level (basically begging for money) you really need five, ten, or a hundred thousand to make your short or feature, you're probably doing something wrong anyway. So, go with indiegogo and get what you can, and then make do with it.
Money helps immeasurably. But, in the long run, it's no match for talent and determination.
Just met and exceeded our funding goal on my current Kickstarter project today, with four days left to go.
the minute the money is in my hands. If the campaign fails I guess I'll be getting a loan and/or pawning some stuff.
