Remasters of old Media Cannibals vids
Jun. 29th, 2006 12:58 pmI posted about this to the Vividcon mailing list, but I realize not everyone may read or get mail from the list (and no, I didn't post to the LJ because... um, I'm not a member of the community, I just have it bookmarked). I've been working with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
justacat to get some workable, iDVD-ready copies of some of our older Professionals vids for a Media Cannibals digital remasters disc.
As it stands, it looks like we will definitely have A Fire is Burning, Detachable Penis, 500 Miles, and Tender Comrade. We may or may not be able to pull off one more. I'd hoped to get the Wiseguy vid Lives in the Balance, but I can't seem to get a copy of it; if I do, I would love to include it. There will also be some of my older vids, though I realize those aren't selling points like the Pros vids: There's No Way Out of Here (mm), Fall in the Light (XF), and Do What You Have to Do (BtVS). It's a WIP disc, with more adding as we go along.
I'm asking people if they think they might want to get a copy at the con. I don't want to even think about mail order right now, because after the thankless, bitter hell of doing the mail order for the #$%!@$# MCs last tape, I never ever want to do large-scale orders that way again. But I may have to consider it; I just don't want to right now. I need to know how many I have to make, because I might have to enlist help on it. They'll run in the same price range as my usual on discs at cons -- $3-5 depending on quantity. I've heard from only about 10 people so far. I'm really serious when I say: If I don't know if you might (you're not under obligation at all, I'm just getting a head count) want one, you probably won't get one. I'm only going to make enough to cover the general count I get from responses (give or take a couple), though you can certainly have a friend claim one for you if you're not going. You can drop me a comment here or at gwynethr at gmail dot com. Again, you're not under any obligation, I just need a sense of whether I can burn these myself or if I have to scramble a way to get more made.
(Also, does anyone know if the hotel allows us to ship things to it in advance? Have you done this?)

In other vid news: I hate capturing clips. I just hate it. In the olden days, adding clips was part of the whole process -- you sat there with your box o' tapes and looked for clips as you laid them in. It's a lot nicer to do it on a computer, but... goddamn, I hate it. It takes forever, even for a little eight-ep series like Life on Mars. I just want to viiiiid... /whine
