OTOH DVD Update

Well, I know most of you don't care about the "A Handful of On The Other Hand" compilation DVD, but I'll update you anyway...

I have a rough version of it finished, but there was a tiny tape glitch in one segment of the video (easily fixable) that wound up on the DVD and the existing menu for the disc is more of a placeholder.

Myself, Bo, Chris, Megs, Jean Davis, and a couple of other folks watched the disc today and it looks pretty good.

Things to be done before it's released:
1. Fix tape glitch.
2. Reburn on DVD via previous method with added chapter markers.
or
3. Re-capture footage into Final Cut Pro
and either
a. Make menu-less DVD with DVD Studio Pro
or
b. Create menu and chapter markers and make DVD with DVD Studio Pro

I'm still deciding. I've noticed that Apple's DVD player arbitrarily lets you skip through chapters that don't really exist in order to jump around your DVD. Kinda neat.

The video and sound is pretty good. And the disc is fun to watch. It's amazing how much downtown has changed in just the two years since we shot most of this stuff.

Ok...I've been reading about this on your blog for awhile now, and I have the gist, but what the heck is it? =D Is it an acting troupe that did some tv shows a few years back? What kind of tv shows? How did I miss it? What channel did it use to be on? Information is power, you know =)

There is no proper description. You just have to see it. I guess the only thing I can call it is "Funny Newsy Satire." There is so straight-up acting, too.

It's weird. And it will soon be available on DVD.

It aired on WDSI FOX 61 Saturday nights @ 12:30 in 2002-2003.
