Notes from info file:
This set has just been posted to ABMS by Tailschao and Wizardus, and it is produced by Tailschao. I have watched parts of a few tracks, and I really think it looks and sounds very, very nice!! THANKS, T!
So - LINEAGE: ABMS - HD (folder names changed and a VIDEO_TS folder added to disc #1) - you
Notes from original info file:
First DVD was edited and authored all those months ago in CS3, the second in CS4. No real effect on the outcome, I'm just saying for the sake of having complete and accurate lineage.
It's Boss Time's footage edited from the raw DV tapes, and Moerie's footage edited directly from the raw .MOD files. Many thanks to the both of them. The third angle (The single DVD on a tripod) was re-encoded from the DVD, but I hardly used any footage from that anyway.
Menu template and covers made by Route 67 A.K.A. Candy.
About the video intro before the menu - Yeah, I know, it's a bit shit. It was better in my imagination than what it turned out as. But hey, what can ya do?
And I apologise for the unfortunate placement of the Danny message at the end of the credits on DVD 1. I never noticed that when I originally made it.
My god... I think "Blood, Sweat and Tears" would be a better title at this stage!
I know there is some disbelief about why this release took so long to see the light of day - but I assure you, what I said all those months ago was true and still is. I finished the project, and sent out a copy of both DVDs to Wizardus for him to look over and upload. I realised that I'd actually forgotten to burn DVD 1, and instead had just printed the label onto it. So I resent a working copy of DVD 1 the day after. But the first package never arrived, only the second package did. So then Wizardus had a copy of DVD 1, but no DVD 2 as that was in the original package that got lost in transport.
Simultaneusly to this, I suddenly, unexpectedly and rather rudely lost access to my desktop computer, all my hard drives, camera equipment, recording equipment, so on and so forth. So, by proxy, I lost all the files for Arnhem. Me being the dumbass that I am never thought to make any copies. At that time, I was expecting to have my equipment returned to me in mid-august with all the data still present, so we post-poned the project, planning to just upload it as soon as I got it back.
Here we are, almost 2009, and I still do not have any equipment or files back, the reason for which I still don't really want to make public - but really, on the small chance that anybody is curious enough, it is not that hard to work out.
I decided that enough was enough. I was going stop waiting and simply re-edit the second DVD and finally get this project finished and uploaded.
But even then, was it that simple? Hell no. So many god dammned problems and software crashes every step of the way. IT took me almost 3 full days to get the final edited show our of Premiere and encoded & authored onto DVD. I won't bore you with the details but suffice to say I have only just finished, at 11:15 PM on Christmas Eve. Yeah, I'm sad. Bite me ;)
So here it is. I hope it is worth the wait (and the effort). Merry Cristmas! :)
