Double Feature Theater Vol. 1 DVD - April 5, 2013

I'm working on putting together volume one of my DVD-R series Double Feature Theater! DVD-R copies will go for sale on April 9th, 2013, the Tuesday following my eighth anniversary as a filmmaker. I have the first film encoded and ready to go which is Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory. I cut together a thirteen minute intermission and then you'll have the second film, which hasn't been decided upon yet. I went through about three hours of intermission videos that I had downloaded off of the internet archive and hand selected them with trailers for Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape, Nosferatu, and Lucky Texan. Like the back up DVD files for the DVD-R release of TP2DTT, this DVD will have the copyright warnings since Traumatic Possession 3D is copyrighted.

With Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory, the video file was 4:3 with these black bars that kept shifting constantly throughout. I was going to just crop it to 16:9 and call it a day. However, I wanted to leave the film as untouched as possible. So, I cropped the bars off of the top and bottom and we got about 1.5:1 for the aspect ratio, as seen in the two screen caps below.



The final output on the size for Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory came out to 3.05GB in .wmv in 720p. I was pretty pleased with how most of the intermission footage looked since a lot of it seemed sourced from VHS tapes. Night of the Living Dead is planned, but, it won't be until we get several volumes in. I am also considering making Night of the Living Dead a double feature DVD with Traumatic Possession 2D: The Tape - Unrated. I'll be sourcing the HD version from the internet archive for Night of the Living Dead, but, I won't use it for a Blu-ray release.

To change topics, on life, I went to Dollar Tree to buy food. No joke! I bought a two pack of pizza crust, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and searched for sauce and luckily came across one of two cans and grabbed it. Then, I grabbed a three liter of Orange Soda. $5 right there. And I tell you what, I had some of the best pizza I had ever eaten. And I'm not trying to brag. The first pizza, I made regularly. You got the sauce, then the cheese, and then top it off with the pepperoni. Second pizza, I did it opposite and I accidentally overcooked it. But, both pizzas were delicious.




My skills as a chef are not as what they used to be, not that I am saying I was like a Gordon Ramsey or anything like that. But, that first pizza looks yummy to look at. 



It doesn't look as visually pleasant as the first one, but it still tasted good. And I felt like a pig in shit because I was craving pizza. So, for $4 for two decent sized pizzas, I was pleased. And to end this blog, I go another podcast uploading, but this just the raw HD video source. So, this shit takes hours on Youtube. On a final, final note; I was clearing HDD on my external and I deleted previous podcasts, but before I did, I took snapshots and uploaded two for your viewing pleasure. Good night, ladies and gentleman, and fuckslaves.
