Ummm...yeah...about that DVD!
We finished filming it once. Then decided to get it edited, and do the voice over for the entire thing.
Well, we found out that it was REALLY BORING to sit and listen to a "voiced over" training DVD (kind of like watching a computer training video). We really thought it was "ho hum" and not what we envisioned at all. The dubbed/voiced over work was really good (you might be surprised to know that we have 2 people on staff that either are or were professionals in either radio or voice over production work) - but I couldn't stand to see a silent picture with voices talking around it....just BOOOORING!
So....we (OK, I) decided and started to re-shoot and re-film the entire thing. This time we're going to do the entire DVD (in chapters/sections of course) live and in person with no voice overs. This means you'll likely hear us ramble on, mess up once and awhile, and have to listen to our terrible jokes, but at least it won't be as boring as a voiced over DVD. You'll have to put up with the occasional heat gun noice, and perhaps a censored "bleep or two" to cover up the inadvertent bad word (I've on occasion been known to use somewhat less than completely sanitary - or as I call it - "colorful" language), but overall it should be much nicer.
That means what we should have had finished a year ago will still take us some time to get it done the way I want it done. I think it'll be worth the wait.
That's my story and I'm stickin to it
Cheers,
Stein.
