If you're wondering what's "taking so long", browse the threads containing posts related to Detroit, Cleveland, and DVD.chris wrote: (Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2004 8:50 pm)

These pics, along with some from Scottitude will be included on the forthcoming (but not imminent) DVD of The Hip at The Fox in Detroit.
Good stuff Trev!

Then look here and here. With three huge projects and a regular life, too, I have to believe he's kinda got his hands full!
Everything I've read so far leads me to believe that they'll be well worth the wait.

There is no Cleveland DVD. Cameras were not permitted.
As far as Detroit is concerned... scottitude got most, but not all of the reasons I haven't posted an update.
Here's the one he doesn't know about:
• I have 9 MiniDV tapes (3 x 120 min + 5 x 90 minutes) of footage. Four camera angles of Sam Roberts and The Hip.
• In order for me to edit/composite/etc all of that, I need a lot of time, hard drive space (5 minutes = 1Gb approx) and computer processing power.
• Right now I don't have enough of any of them.
A new computer with more hard drive space would speed things up greatly, so if anyone is in the mood to give me
or
I'll gladly send you the first copy of the DVD's.

Chris - I would be more than happy to send you up a brand new iMac G5.
But I am afraid with the exchange rate,
that by the time it gets to you it would only be a PowerMac G3.

Dana,
Are you telling me that the computer exchange rate works opposite to the dollar exchange? I'm really screwed if that's the case!

As far as Detroit is concerned... my general answer to anyone looking for an update is, "Here's a song I like to call 'Blow Me!"
And now the real update:
• I still have 9 MiniDV tapes (3 x 120 min + 5 x 90 minutes) of footage. Four camera angles of Sam Roberts and The Hip.
• In order for me to edit/composite/etc all of that, I need a lot of time, hard drive space (5 minutes = 1Gb approx) and computer processing power.
• Right now I only have processing power, and hard drive space as I just got a new computer; one of these:
I still don't have enough time.
Single angle DVDs are easy to edit/rip/encode/burn, and do not take a lot of time. The ACC video took me less than 1 hour (not including the time my computer was importing video, or encoding/burning to DVD).
Editing together multiple angles, and then syncing up the audio with the imagery on screen, takes a crapload of time.
Since I get paid to be a print consultant, and not to edit videos, this all has to be done in my spare time. Further to that, I still have to live life, despite some fans' apparent disagreement with that idea.
Let's discuss how long it will take the team of experts, using professional equipment, with professional training, to complete the Hip's official DVD.
If we assume they have 4 people working on it, for 8 hours per day, for 2 months (40 days). That equals 640 hours. Let's double that for my lack of training and equipment: 1,380 hours.
I can generally dedicate about 4 hours per week to work on it. At this rate, I will be finished by sometime in early 2010.
