Personal message

Greetings Adventurers 

Our names are Hope and Kezia Dawson and we started a print publication for the Table Top gaming space in March 2023 with the help of our dad. We are both still students and one of our main objectives was to start a buisness that could help us pay for our studies as our parents are not in the position to cover this. Our magazine is very new and currently cannot support our YouTube equipment growth requirements, we have been struggling with.
 
Natone Magazine for those who dont know, is focused on the South Africa Table Top Gaming Space. This includes roleplaying games, board games, trading card games and miniature gaming.
 
We love the Table Top Gaming space and its ability to bring people together around a table to have fun and learn at the same time. It inspires critical and strategic thinking and improves literacy and math skills, all while players have fun with friends and family. 
 
Our parents taught us to ask if we need help so we have decided to ask the community to help us raise funds to improve the quality of our content creation as it is beyond our budget.
 
Last week we lost a key piece of equipment, our Canon 2000D camera failed due to overheating, while we were shooting a segment of our D&D Series. 
 
Our upcoming D&D Series has highlighted the shortcoming of our gear and this prompted us to consult with SA Film Worx who gave us some amazing advice and pointers.
 
Audio and Video equipment has been our biggest challenge and we need to urgently address it so that we can up our production quality. This problem is evident on our YouTube videos where our current gear fails us when we have more than two people on video.
 
Our Equipment Targets are as follows: 
 
Priority 1: Audio Gear
R8 000 Wireless Microphones (2 x Wireless Boya BY-W4 systems) Rode is too expensive for us.
R10 000 Digital Mixer Desk (Zoom L8 LiveTrack)
 
Priority 2: Video Gear
R12 000 Black Magic ATEM Mini Pro ISO (Orms)
R30 000 Two Canon EOS R50 Cameras (Orms)
 
There is quite a bit more gear we need, but we are also trying to buy as funds are available, like lighting gear and camera stabilizers and props for the show. 
 
We really want to produce the best possible videos for all of you and are eager to reach our equipment target before Comic Con Cape Town in April.
 
As a gesture of gratitude we will be publishing the names of all those who make this dream a reality, in a upcoming Issue of NatOne Magazine. 
 
Funding Goals Reached:
