During our first week of pre-order business--which by the way surpassed our sales goal; YAY!--we also managed to pick up three new sponsors for the "Episode 1 - Katemcy Rocks" DVD. It also looks like we've got an additional new sponsor lined up for Episode 2 who just couldn't make the deadline for this episode. We're feverishly working to integrate the sponsor information into the DVD as we speak; in fact I'm typing this news update on one of our field laptops because our main editing computer is busy rendering the new sponsor sequence right now. We'll update the website with the new sponsor information early next week.

That brings us to another point: the status of the "Episode 1 - Katemcy Rocks" DVD itself. Well as it stands, all that has to be done to the main video is to drop in the sponsor sequence (the thing rendering right now) and it will be 100% complete. The DVD structure is 99% complete (I found one bug in the last beta that needs to be addressed). The photo slideshow is 100% complete. The deleted scene (yes, there really is a TRUE deleted scene!) is 100% complete. The only thing left to work on are the outtakes; the rough edit is done, but we still have to work on the final edit, which we can hopefully finish by tomorrow morning.

Once that's done, we'll be doing the FINAL RENDER on all the footage, then drop them into our DVD Studio Pro structure, and burn the master. If all goes according to plan, we should have the master sent off to manufacturing early next week!

Alright, going back to work now to finish these things up. THANK YOU AGAIN for making the new 'GetBent!' 4x4 DVD series a success, and if you haven't placed your order yet, slide on over to our ORDER page and get yours today!
