About this project
DRAMATIC VIDEO FOR DEBUT SINGLE: NAKED HEART
A picture is worth a thousand words. That's why Jackie needs to make a video clip for her souful pop song, Naked Heart. The recording featured on her new, debut album has an authentic sound and a message of strength and hope. We know music is powerful, and so is picture. Let's make a music video that has the power to inspire!
Music playlists can get a little tired, whether it be your personal playlist or that of the radio and Top 40. Jackie Ward may be the answer to that. In an fast-changing and often ephemeral music world, "Naked Heart" brings a depth of thought and a freshness we haven't heard for some time. But it's expected these days that a single release has a video clip, and that makes it a very important and immediate next step.
The video in brief: Director/Producer Jim Lounsbury heads up the film crew for this project (last year he won international awards for his movie, Love is Now). The plan for the video features Jackie through a journey of finding openness and strength. Enhancing this, two contemporary dancers (similar to ballet, but raw/natural) will dance a dynamic and beautiful routine. This will be contrasted against a city/warehouse setting with natural and dramatic lighting.
The Need: The up front cost needed to complete the film is about $2500. But the total cost of the film will be $5000. This is because the Director/Producer has generously agreed to post-pone half the cost. So while $2500 will provide for the immediate costs - and completion of the film - Jackie will have to pay the other $2500 as soon as possible. So let's go way above the goal!
Your contribution to Jackie's music video is actually an investment in quality music. And that opinion is becoming widespread. Jackie's voice has been described as "honey sliding down crystal" (Courier Mail). She has been labelled as "Australia's newest rising star" (Sunshine Coast Daily) and "one to watch" (Greedy Smith). She even got tipped for a future Grammy Award when she was receiving her 1st place in the Australian Songwriting Awards.
So what do everyday listeners think of Jackie Ward's music? One recipient of the album from last year's highly successful KickStarter campaign had this to say: "You know when you buy a new pair of shoes and you don’t want to take them off for a week? That’s how I feel about your album. I just want to put it on repeat! I love the album! It’s fantastic!"
Jackie delivered on her last campaign, recording the album at illustrious The Grove Studios and Studios 301. That was made possible by people like YOU contributing more than you first planned! There are two weeks to meet the goal or your account won't be debited and Jackie will receive nothing. So make history again with Jackie, enable her and the crew to make this video.

Risks and challenges
The Director/Producer has said that I only need to cover immediate costs up front. These funds will cover things like fuel, lighting, wardrobe, venue etc. He's basically donating his time until a later date when I can complete the second payment.
The only risk here is that we don't reach the goal in this short allocation of time. With Kickstarter, if the goal isn't reached your account won't be debited and the video won't be funded (I would get $0). Time is short because the Director/Producer has an opening in his busy schedule. And because we want to launch the video at the album launch in May.
So please dig deep and make an extravagant pledge! Click the green "back this project" button now!
