New DVDs Coming Soon!

I've mentioned before that I'm going to be releasing some special edition Dreamboat DVDs. But what, you may be wondering, will be so special about them? Well, it's going to be incredibly special because it's going to have, along with the original Super8 version of Dreamboat, the soon-to-be-completed digital version! When we shot the movie, we actually did the whole thing twice. Allen shot it on his Super8 camera, but since the light meter on the camera didn't work we weren't sure if everything would be totally overexposed or not. Luckily it turned out looking awesome, but we had a backup plan in case it didn't. Colin re-shot each scene on his digital camera, which took really high-speed sequences of photos that look almost like film. The effect is really cool, and I have finally gotten it all edited together two years after it was shot. I am making a remix of the song to go with the new version. The dvd's will also contain several interviews with me, and maybe some other surprise special features as well. Plus new packaging!

All of this will be completed by July 19th, which is the date of the SF Zinefest. I'm going to be there selling dvd's, zines, bags, and whatever else I can think of/finish making before I go. I'm also planning to finish the sequel to my joke book "Funny Jokes About Sea Creatures" which is entitled "More Funny Jokes About Sea Creatures."
