#1. The BEST Live-Action Dragon Ball Z in the Universe!
#2. The episodes will be available to watch for FREE on Youtube
#3. Some cool perks, but most importantly, we will keep you updated on the project and listen to your feedback, concerns and suggestions. You get to be a part of Dragon Ball Z history!
Those that have followed our project so far know that we care what you have to say and we do listen.
Therefore, several of the perks include the rights to vote on various things throughout the production of the web series.
This project is important to us because as DBZ fans we have been deprived of a proper live-action adaptation. We are fans who are making this for Dragon Ball Z fans across the world.
If you’ll join us on journey – we can guarantee that you’ll be a part of a project that changes DBZ history forever. It’s up to all of us to make this happen.
Will Cell, Goku or Vegeta be in the web series?
No. We are doing an adaptation of The History of Trunks which is in an alternate timeline where Goku and Vegeta are dead and the Androids are the main villains. We chose this timeline because it provides the most emotional backdrop and gritty drama.
Do you have the license to make this?
No. This is a FAN MADE project and we are not affiliated with Toei Japan, Funimation or Fox. This is a non-profit passion project.
Is this project by Machinima or Robot Underdog?
This project is being created by Robot Underdog. Machinima is our network partner. They offer us major support & guidance & help in every way they can, not only with DBZ, but also with the growth & development of RUD as a whole. However, they cannot help us with funding DBZ since we do not have the license.
Don't you make lots of money on your Youtube Videos?
Sadly no. Most of the views are not even "monetized" (meaning able to earn money) and those that are, only earn fractions of pennies per view.
If I donated on Paypal before this campaign do I get perks too?
Yes! The perks are the same across the board no matter where you donate.
It says non-profit, but you're raising money - How does that work?
We do not keep any money from this campaign or our Youtube Channel - 100% of the money goes towards creating projects.
What happens if you raise additional money over your goal?
That'd be AWESOME! Every dollar will be spent towards making the final product even better and getting it completed faster! With a limited budget we can still do our best to pull things off but the more money and resources we have, the better the end product will be.
What happens if you don’t raise enough money for your goal?
That would suck. But we will still follow through with Episode 2 even though it will take much longer and we might be forced to trim down the episode length. But we won't be able to do Episode 3. We’re counting on you guys to make it happen!
How do I join the Robot Underdog team?
We'd love to have you! Please email rita@robotunderdog.com with your expertise and availability. Note that we will be filming in Los Angeles, and while some team positions can be done via internet, for any on set work you will need to be local to the LA area
Are you guys K&K Productions?
No. We are a completely separate group of people in Los Angeles, while K&K is the United Kingdom. But we definitely give K&K props for all their efforts and achievement in the area of live-action DBZ.
I don’t agree with part XYZ of your project!
That’s cool. Drop us a line at rita@robotunderdog.com and tell us what you don’t like about it and why.
We don’t claim that this is set in stone, so if you have a valid point then we might make the necessary adjustments and additions. You’ll have to be pretty convincing, though.
I Need Help
Email me your problem, your full name, your indiegogo name/email, which perk you got and any other information you deem relevant. rita@robotunderdog.com
**PERK FAQ
HOW DOES THE "RESURRECTION 'F'" MOVIE TICKET PERK WORK?
We will provide you with either a ticket to see Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' (when it premieres) at you local theater OR we will provide you with Fandango gift card credit so you may select the date you attend, the theater of your choice and do your own seat selection. Maximum value is $10. If you choose a theater or showing that exceeds $10, we will provide you with the credit to go towards your ticket.
When does the movie come out?
We don't know yet - but as soon as we do, you'll know.
Movie release locations: We cannot guarantee the movie will show in your town - Battle of Gods was a limited release & if you live in a super tiny town, you may not be getting this movie either. In this case, we can still provide you with a Fandango gift card (worth $10)
International: We currently do not have a way to provide you with a ticket - so please select the $65 perk instead. sorry :/ but we still <3 you
