Ah... details, details.. funny thing on price is that we're all artists, which means we all know how very much time and effort our creations take, but we also appreciate the whole budget-conciousness thing... a catch 22 sometimes, yes?

OK -- here's what I'm suggesting -- if you guys come back and say "Rob, you're insane", first I'd thank you for noticing :-) and then I'd be open to hearing suggestions. FWIW, I think this is reasonable..

- My understanding is that performances are between 7 and 15 minutes
- I'll include some snippets from around the festival, trying to capture some of the festival ambiance, and include it on the DVD (can you say "after show party?!")
- If any artists *want* to be featured on the DVD to promote themselves (e.g. if a band wants to include a song [or ad] to promote themselves or one of their CDs), I'd be happy to include custom footage from the event or their own material (we'd have to discuss the details)

- Videography -- My goal is to have "something for everyone".
Prices range from:
$20 for raw single-camera footage / $30 for the DVD, $15 for extra copies
up to
$150 for a Fully-Edited DVD ($15 for extra copies) with:
- multiple angles, edited into a single production
- chapter marks (if multiple dances),
- a "Reference View" (video wall to watch all angles simultaneously)
- alternate angles (you can control which angle you're watching)
- 1-Minute Highlights (YouTube-style with royalty-free music if desired)

Because of the wide range, I've uploaded an Excel worksheet with ALL the options/details to the following URL (I used "8-minute" and "14-minute" to refer to a "short" and "long" performance... 8 is more like 8-ish "< 10" and 14 is more like 14-ish "10-18" :-)

Just open it up and check out the options... if anything is confusing, please post here and I'll try to clarify. (or if you don't have Excel I can post a PDF version as well).

Have a peachy day/night!
:-) Rob

I hope that wasn't in response to "a joke to tell?" LOL

I think you should do a TOTAL FESTIVAL DVD, would be phenomenal! It would be a huge seller ;) You could have waivers for those who do not want to be on the DVD :D

I'd buy one. . hell I'd buy several!

I wont be at TF :( but I'm wondering.....there are sooooo many dancers and performers that will be there that aren't on tribe who don't know about this video that they can possibly get Chuck, is there an email list that you have that you can send this out to to get more interest and response? Just a thought :)

Yay! Glad to hear you will be there - most likely. :)
