Obtaining Copies of the Video

First, I'd like to say thanks for all the kind words you have all given with respect to the video. It was truly our pleasure (I think I safely speak for John here) to make this. I'm quite sure that the effect it hopefully had on you when you saw it, was exactly the same (if not more) for us as we made it. And we lived those feelings every night for the last several weeks.

Whenever you create anything, especially art, you hope that the intended audience/consumer "gets it", or at least gets something out of it that is meaningful to them, because for sure it is meaningful to the creator. For me, this is not so much a creation as an integration of everybody's experiences from that week. John and I had the enviable position of being the priveledged persons entrusted with that integration. God guided us, on your behalf, of that I am certain.

Also, I'd like to again reiterate my personal thanks to John who, whether he admits it or not, did at least as much work as I did. Plus, he was indeed responsible for the Jaws segment, which is the highlight of the whole thing. As well, I have to thank Bill Campbell who is the originator of the whole concept, and from whom I shamelessly stole 2 big parts of this presentation:

• The format/template
• The Google Earth segments

I know we spoke to a lot of you who wish to get copies. We are happy to give out as many copies as we possibly can. Here is the preferred method of obtaining one:

1. Get yourself a blank VHS tape, or DVD (either DVD-R, or DVD+R....NOT R/W) and write your name on it
2. Give this blank media to either me, John Livezey, or Peggy
3. As we are able, we'll copy the movie onto your media and get it back to you. There will probably be some delay, simply due to the processing time. I'll be able to do at most 1 DVD per night. John is probably in about the same boat. I'll apologize up front for that.

Another method is for you to burn your own copy, if you have the ability. For that I will lend out a master copy, or you can get a copy from someone else, from which you can make your own copy.

Here's a disclaimer about DVD's:

DVD burning for the intention of watching on your home theater, is a hit or miss proposition. What I mean is that when I burn a DVD movie on my computer, it may or may not work on my DVD player with my TV. Fundamentally, it has to do with the evolving, and somewhat ambiguous, technical format of the DVD specificaion. There are no guidelines that we can give you as to which type of media to buy to give you a better chance. It's reasonably safe to say that if your DVD player is less than 2 years old, there's a great chance it'll work just fine. If your copy doesn't work, we'll try it again.
