Season Two Update and DVD Reminder


Update #53

Hi, everyone!

Some quick housekeeping:

■ We're still fine-tuning the season two feature edit, because we're perfectionists and we want you to receive an amazing DVD and digital download when it's finally released.
■ Per your requests in the comments on an earlier update, we're also taking the time to make the DVD bonus content amazing, rather than rushing that.
■ So if you pledged for $50 or more, your rewards have not yet shipped, with the exception of poster tubes. We'll do a massive shipping party when we have the season two DVDs in hand.


Our current schedule is to finish shooting Gamers 3 on December 1st. At that point Gamers 3 will go to Matt and Aubrey for the first editing pass. Meanwhile, Ben will be completing the JQ2 feature cut and DVD. Once those are finished we'll let you know, get digital downloads going for you, and get the DVDs off to replication.

DVD Update

Update #54

Hey, everyone! We've been hard at work putting together an amazing DVD for all of you and have a lot to share!

• The feature cut is locked. We've rearranged, recut, and added footage and effects to help the story flow from beginning to end without interruption. Steve is writing a few new music cues, Brendan is mixing the new audio, Adam is fine-tuning new establishing shots, and Ben just finished cleaning up the color grade. This is the cut that we'll use for the DVD and for the digital downloads.

• With the cut locked, we can move ahead quickly with commentary tracks. Tony and Andy are scheduling a number of them with the cast and crew for next weekend.

• Both DVD covers are out for final review by our team. The Supporter Edition cover is an exclusive for our fans and backers. The Director's Cut cover is designed for retail. The contents on both DVDs are the same—per the feedback we received from you on an earlier update—but the Supporter Edition cover is limited to 1000 copies. You can see drafts of both below!

• We're running an informal poll on our facebook page to blurb the Supporter Edition cover. Head over to here to submit and vote or, if you're not on facebook, just post in the comments below and we'll share your submission over there. Here's the full scoop:

We're finalizing DVD covers, which means it's time to blurb JourneyQuest Season Two! Now, we could solicit blurbs privately, but since the show is made possible by you, the fans, we figured that you should have the opportunity to do it.

So how will this work? Post your review, ten words or less, below. Click "like" on the submissions you want us to choose. The submission with the most "likes" will go on the cover of the backers-only DVD.

(We reserve the right to make a second choice if the highest-ranked choice is inappropriate. <----In other words, "please don't try to game the system for lolz!")

• The special features are looking great! The making-of is currently far too long, but we're cutting it down to size. The director's diaries are an uncensored daily glimpse into Ben's mental breakdown, while the outtakes show that we could still have fun despite the wind, rain, hail, snow, and sleet. We're still finalizing exact content, since there's far more material than we can fit, even onto a dual-layer disc.

• The DVD also includes an exclusive bonus episode—"Nomicon & The Founder"—which shows us who commissioned and designed the Temple of All Dooms.

• Our goal is to send the DVDs off for replication in two weeks, which will allow us to start shipping rewards by early March. Thanks for your ongoing patience as we continue to put quality ahead of speed.

Quick Updates:

1) Gamers Live DVDs should be back from replication and in our hands within a week or two. We'll start shipping them as soon as possible.

2) JourneyQuest 2 DVDs are almost ready for replication. We fit almost all of the extras on and just need to plug in some final sound pieces.

3) We'll dive back into ZOE Phase II preparation once the JQ2 DVDs are out the door. We're very excited about this new way to support ZOE shows and projects!

4) The Orcish/English dictionary is in final review and layout. We expect it to go to the printer this week.

5) As of last Friday, we have a rough cut of Gamers: Hands of Fate, minus the final pickup scenes we shot on Saturday. It's currently lo-o-o-o-o-o-ng, but that's normal for this stage of the process. The more we cut, the funnier it gets. And Christian Doyle may break your heart. You heard it here first.

6) Yeah, it's been non-stop busy around here. You can usually tell when we get swamped, since the facebook updates trickle to a stop.

7) Don't miss us at Emerald City Comic Con, coming up in March! More details soon, but we have a booth, two panels, and a sneak peek at Gamers 3!

Big question for the JQ2 DVD: more extras at lower compression, or fewer extras with pristine compression?
(We'll do the actual show with pristine compression, of course.) There's so much material, you see…

Turns out we have more than three hours of extras for the JourneyQuest Season Two DVD, not counting all of the commentary tracks. Next step? Testing the compression settings we'll need to fit this all on.

The sound mix for JourneyQuest Season Two is complete! Thanks to Brendan J. Hogan for the superb work updating our web series to the feature cut. Now to test our final DVD master and we'll be ready to go to print.

WooHoo!

2 hours and 50 minutes of extra video features, over nine hours of commentaries. Most of that material will remain DVD-only, except in cases where we had to make cuts (some of the BTS videos and a couple of interviews). Transcode settings are as low as we're willing to go. Sadly, an extra disk isn't financially feasible, but we're very happy with how much fit on this.
