Just some information re: the crowdfund.
1. The funds are still being held.

2. I've received $5242.36 from the crowdfund. They hold some for chargeback protection for 90 days. They also pay card processor fees upfront from it. They will pay the rest after the 90 days. The difference between the $5242.39 and $6785.78 numbers are actual money that belongs to the LLC which is received from mail in money orders and used to afford server expenses.

3. If the footage is released at no cost to me or at a lower cost than expected, I will donate the remainder.
"If there are significant excess funds, or if our request is denied and no participants consent to having the footage released, the money will be donated to an appropriate charity at my sole discretion (but I will probably run a poll first)."
My current thought re: charity is local Kandiyohi County animal shelter.
If you're curious about the consent issue, you should read the crowdfund page. I explicitly mention that consent might be required of the state is being slow or obtuse.
