New Videos & End of Phase 1!

Tuesday still counts as the weekend, right? :D

I have three videos coming today. Not all of them are up on youtube yet because it decided to break a number of times during upload.

God Given:



Hurt:


And In This Twilight is being uploaded, who knows how long it'll take to show up. borked. I'll post it tomorrow.

I'm also done with the TOIOU album art, look for a release of the CD for download shortly. It'll probably be announced here. I'm not really sure.

Now I can devote my spare time to second round editing and dvd menu creation. Here we go!

Thanks to everyone for voting in my poll. It really helps give me an idea of where to focus my attention. Look for DVD artwork soon!

Just for fun...

Decided to put up this part in it's own youtube clip :)



I've been busy working on some stuff for TOIOU (you can see it in on my flickr page) so I haven't been able to edit too much the last couple days. But the Good Soldier, God Given and Hurt should all be done by this weekend.

Once I post In This Twilight, I might not post the final edits one by one on YouTube like I did with the first edits. I want to really concentrate on getting everything just right. :)

Echoplex + Project Timeline

I thought I wrote and posted a blog last night, I guess it got lost, oops! I finished Echoplex. I thought it came out well so far:




Thanks for everyone's input and feedback. If you have any questions or comments and want to reach me via email, you can now email me at SacramentoLITSDVD@gmail.com

Oh, and I have a few boxes of blu-ray stuff coming in the next couple days. Exciting! I'm not done with the footage or the menus quite yet, but everything's coming together.

I made this timeline on the NIN.com forum, hopefully it'll be useful here:


Currently in: Phase 1: First Round Edits- Week 4 of 4

Project outline:

Phase 1: First Round Edit (Almost done!)
Phase 2: Second Round Edit, sound and picture refining (1-2 weeks)
Phase 3: DVD movie project finalizing, Menu artwork creation (3-5 days)
Phase 4: Purchase materials, DVD/DVD box Cover art design and creation (1-3 days)
Phase 5: Post paypal/order information, start putting individual orders together (1 week)
Phase 6: Mail everything out! (until people stop requesting, or I can no longer afford materials)

Artwork option poll + HLAH+ download Ghosts 31

So, I wasn't going to go shopping for DVD stuffs until later, but I had time today and looking at all the options made me giddy. I just bought more DL DVDs and a bunch of DVD cases (only place I can find blu-ray stuff is online :( ) But I was stuck on whether or not I should include artwork. It would make the price go up slightly. So I made a handy dandy poll over to the right. Just pick the right option for you. I'm leaning towards optional.

And the newest video, Head Like a Hole:



And click here to download Ghosts 31. 347 MB.

Blu-Ray Requests + New Video - THTF

I just wanted to clarify that there's not an official list yet (don't worry, those that sent their names in, I've taken note), so don't worry if you're not ready or didn't include your name yet. I'm just getting an estimate of how many disks I may need to purchase initially. I was just going to buy a 25 disk bundle, now I'll probably need more than that, haha. I'll begin official name/address collection in the next week or so. I'm still not sure on how I will organize that.

Meanwhile, The Hand That Feeds is up now:



I really like the one this came out, minus the first 20 seconds and a few quick cuts in the middle.

Only video + non-youtube Survivalism

My newest edit, Only:



The footage was pretty dark, so I'm going to have to work with this one a bit more and see if the Portland show has some angles I can borrow.

Thanks to everyone that sent in their names and head counts for blu-ray list. I might need more media than I expected, but that's cool. :)

In the meantime, I have uploaded Survivalism to megaupload per request. It's 602 mb, sorry about the size. I'll have to find a good way to compress these things for those of you that want non-youtube clips without sacrificing too much quality.

I just finished The Hand that Feeds. It's being exported in Adobe now and should be up on YouTube later in the morning.

Because You Tube compression is shitty...

I wasn't impressed with the way Wish came out on YouTube. The strobe lighting (or size of the file? Or the direction the wind is blowing outside?) chokes the video stream and gives it a delay. Here's the YouTube version:



So, I have gone ahead and uploaded it to megaupload for direct downloading. It's 553 mb, in mpg format. It's nice to view everything a bit closer and bigger too! I would upload more, but I figured the size of each file would deter people. If you do have a particular song that you would like to download, let me know.

New video - Ghosts 31

My newest edit - Ghosts 31:



I still need to fix it up a bit more, but it has a good feel so far. I am close to wrapping up my first round of editing and I have been going through my other videos to begin my second round of editing. Visit my YouTube playlist to view more.
