Peaks / Crowd Funding

I found this great video to help me as I enter the last stages of editing and I put together this crowd funding video.
I could not embed the video, but here is the link...

This video told me steps to create a crowd funding video...
STEP 1   Identify a clear mission statement
STEP 2   Personalize the mission statement
                   "How do my personal memories influence my work and make me want to go to work?"
STEP 3   Blurt and Blab (Finding the Story)
                    Stories of the mission statement in action
                    An experience with a particular child
STEP 4   Connect the Mission Statement, Personal Experience and Story
                    -Who I am
                    -The story
                    -The ask
STEP 5   The ASK 
                   "The thing that can fail the most in any fund raising campaign is forgetting to ask."
                Soo... How do I ask?
                  Craft a short, simple message
                   Three options for how to ask...
                           1- Super Simple "Would you consider a gift of x ammount?"
                           2- Be specific "For $20, would you support a child in this program?"
                           3- Don't ask to donate at all "Join us in making a difference"
                     Keep Three things...
                            After you ask... Keep quiet. Let the message sink in.
                            Keep your perspective. 
                            Keep your chin up. 

This format works well for a straight up pitch. I would need to modify it in order to use the footage that I already have.
