Hi -
I recently completed another trail-related DVD, this time based on the 2003
long-distance season on the PCT. I have about 70 copies available that I
want to give away. All I need is an address. Postage is going up on Monday,
and for this type of package, rates will be more than double, so I need all
the requests in the next day or so (by Friday morning) so I can ship at the
lower rate. So don't be shy and send in your request (postal address).
This is definitely my favorite one so far, as far as the artistic/editing
side of things. Even thought it's primary audience is the PCT 03-ers, I also
tried to design it to be something that other audiences could
appreciate/benefit from as well. The DVD combines the photos and video
contributions of about 50 hikers from 2003. Thousands of photos and many
hours of video footage have been sorted through and edited down to create
it. The result is a year-book style format that attempts to include as many
people as possible from that season, as well as a great way for PCT hikers
to share their photography with each other.
I suggest trying to replicate a movie theatre environment as much as
possible when you watch this - a dark room with good sound quality, and in
one sitting. For best picture quality, wide screen and HDTVs should be set
to a 4:3 aspect ratio.
If you have the other presentations I've done previously, this might be
worth getting because I've done a bunch of things differently this time, and
it might be interesting to see the contrast.....
Quick note about the DVD menu buttons -
I was having trouble with the DVD software. "Play Movie" and "Chapters" are
horizontal to each other, but to move from one to the other, you have to
press the up-down buttons instead of the left-right buttons. It's worth
checking out the other menu pages and letting the music/imagery play out for
a few minutes in each. Menu #2 is especially effective as a preview of the
whole program....
one last note - there's more after the closing credits, so resist pressing
stop too soon.....
Send in your addresses to me by friday at noon eastern time. Thanks!
