Hey Everyone,

When I finish the BBB Video, I'm going to release the Interviews in a DVD set. I have decided that instead of going to the Pinball Hall of Fame with the profits, instead I'm going to collect the profits myself and donate them to a certain person, we all care about, who worked on our games, that is now fighting a disease.

So, How much would you pay? My cost to produce these will be $7-$10 depenant on how fancy I get. I suspect it will be 4-5 hours long in total. Editing will be VERY minimal. I want to be able to get this out quickly when the main video is done.

-Al-

PS - I'll prolly charge whatever the result of this poll is. It will not stop you from paying more though (if you want).

Tough one Al. Don't want to say anything negative because it would be an insult to your effort (which is highly appreciative) or the cause you've picked (and that is very worthy too). But.... I guess I am starting to slow down on "everything BBB". I enjoy the game, glad it worked out, etc. Have the glitter paper (collecting dust), ordered rings. (Might install or just leave it original, I'm leaning towards, if it is work, leave it alone). So when you come along with 4-6 hours of interviews, I'm thinking, no way could I sit through that. (And with international flights, I do have the time.) But seems like it would be brutal to watch. (Note: I do look forward to the condensed version that you're working on.)

So my vote would be, with all due respect, I'm not buying the Interview DVDs, even though it would go to a good cause. I'd rather just see another effort to donate to the worthy cause, with no strings attached.

Or give the option to buy the BBB video with an extra amount kicked in for the effort.

Just some feedback, don't take it wrong.

I know what you mean. I'll be glad to move on as well. It's a fun game and it's been quite a journey but journeys have endings. I'll take your advice and maybe we'll have a "contributor" option on the long DVD set sales where you just give the portion that will go to the fund and don't get a disc set. I'll make having your name on the card an option for everyone.

I would switch the regular DVD sales to this as well, but many people outside our circle contributed with the intention of helping the PHOF and Tim has done a great job of distributing the first two.

I respect your opinion and thank you for it!

PS - I'll be making these discs up myself. I'm really not planning to sell a whole lot of them. I'm not prepared to sell a whole lot of them.

To each his own I guess... I for one am looking forward to watching both the BBB and the interviews videos. The videos are all about BBB and part of pinball history. I'm sure I will find it very enjoyable.

Thanks for putting this together.

I'll be sure to put chapters on the interview discs so you can get between sections. I think they will be OK if you watch them as single entities. Watching them back to back would be insanity. I have 1 hour of strapping games and loading trucks which sees about 5 minutes in the real video and maybe a few seconds in Chris's. Maybe some more of that will be at the end of the disc.

Pick-up day was the most fun for me. I really enjoyed the edit on that part in the main video but my interviews with Jeff Powell and Bill Pfutzenreuter had a lot of background noise to deal with and I EQed it as best I can. I might put in subtitles - I'll try it on the home system and see how hard it is to hear.

I am going to do a commentary track on the main video. I have a lot of comments!

-Al-

PS - The poll has spoken, the interview discs will be $25.00 - I'll hand number them and post the numbers on the forum with the amout of money paid (no names on the forum). That will keep this all honest!

Is the uber extras version available yet? Should I just get the "regular" DVD for now and get the extras later?
