Supporting On Ice Perspectives:
I started On Ice Perspectives with the goal to learn more about film, and share my progress of filming skaters around the world. I never intended to generate revenue from social media, and I hold that belief to this day.
That is why, to this date I have never charged a skater to share their video to On Ice Perspectives’ social media channels. I intend all of my videos to attract the attention of TV show producers, movie directors, writers, and more, to include more figure skating in their ideas. And to create my best work here, I need to feel that I have full creative control and license to share whomever, whatever, and wherever I’d like.
That said, publishing and maintaining content to this channel is a lot of work. I didn’t imagine that On Ice Perspectives would grow into the cultural zeitgeist as much as it has in the past six years, but I want to maintain its position as an inspirational figure skating channel.
By supporting on Ice Perspectives, you are not only helping me continue publishing content online regularly, but are also helping me to further push the boundaries of what is possible to film on the ice. Between my paid off-ice freelance jobs, I spend countless hours researching and developing new techniques, and filming whomever and wherever I can to make content for my social media channels.
My hope is to one day raise enough through monthly crowd-funding to help me to sustain this pace of content creation indefinitely. As mentioned above, I don’t make money choosing skaters to publish, nor do I make a significant amount from social media either, because most of my videos cannot be monetized due to music copyright restrictions.
Because I am a one-person band, a small collection of people pledging $5/month would go very far!

Thank you for your support!

Note: To date, On Ice Perspectives’ YouTube channel alone has received over 180 million views. These are from people who have been inspired by figure skating, and I hope to continue sharing this joy for generations to come.
