Big BIG DVD News

December 7, 2011 by wilmington.

8 out of 10 invisible puppets report BIG news coming down the pipeline to isolated park benches near you!

The Big BIG DVD news is: there is one.

A DVD, that is.

That is, there IS a DVD that………………………………….*is*.

Hold on there, Kirk! Let me ’splain!

Brigham, who grows sneakier every year, sent a “draft” DVD winging its way through the night (OK, several nights…he sent it US Mail) a few weeks ago to land in Texas and in L.A. without any advance warning. Apparently, he had emerged, rejuvenated by an extended hermitage in the Pirate’s Cove Film Production/Massage Parlor/Hydrotherapy Center/Curmudgeon Refuge Compound long enough to work with a shady character (we seem to attract them) named “Kevin” in order to put all the pieces together to author a real DVD with, like, menus and chapters and stuff.

Contents include:
1) X-GEN (now in glorious 70mm 3D VistaVision!)
2) 3 Commentary tracks discussing how, where, with whom, and, above all, why…WHY?! we did all the unbelievably crazy things it took to create our Garage Band Feature Film out of this odd “grunge fable.”
3) BONUS FEATURES including a few “original edits”, the entire Teen Spirit video! and X-Gen commercial, a trailer…ANNND 3 bonus film shorts - The Wingnut and You!, along with bailey, and “Downed.” There’s even a little Easter Egg!
4) …and all that good stuff is presented via super cool menus with: new designs! animation! music! cool transition-y things with aggressive floral explosions and spinning bottles!

It’s all very exciting.

The DVD menus and features are now going through the revision stage. We next look at getting a glass master (don’t ask) so that we can distribute X-GEN via online streaming, DVD purchases through Amazon, and, hopefully, via NetFlix.

By the way, “bailey” is now on IMDB. That’s right, all three of the (completed) Sea Shanty Films projects are: multiple festival entrants, award winners, and listings on IMDB.

More to come soon.
