Scheming

quote:
Heh, it did cross my mind that this could all be an elaborate scheme by a pissed off director to locate and reap vengeance on movie pirates who viewed his work for free.

My response is, you buying the DVD doesn't prove that you have pirated anything. You can get to the backdoor in many other ways (e.g. I posted a link on myspace ). And you can also find out the password without having seen the movie.

I'm not pissed off. I'm thrilled.

I love your response and I should have done this a long time ago.

cheers!

This might be a weird place to ask this question but, Sven, is it still possible to get other LA Twister stuff? Like a movie poster?

I'm great enough to own a DSLR but not great enough to not lose the battery charger... I haven't seen it in about 2 months! If I find it, I'll snap it. Your review post is in the digipak itself

Alas I can't watch it, as my TV broke last night

You asked for it. Here it is...

Also, a reminder: The first one to reveal the hidden egg on the DVD will get a rare MISPRINT of the movie poster. The first run of the poster had my name misspelled (SVAN) and was destroyed by the distributor Indican before it hit the street. I managed to get a hand-full and I vow to never sell them for less than $150. But if you find the hidden egg and post it here first, it will be yours for free.

good times,

Sven

Wohoo! Now I've got a shirt and a poster too! On the way to die-hard fandom. Now if only my movie will arrive before the weekend...

I PM'd the Svenster but he did say to post it here in his last posterings, so I'll bring it up here.

My stab at the easter egg: the DVD contains approx 12 minutes of footage of "Hollywood Kills" as well (not the trailer on the trailer page).

Fingers crossed!

pHo, that's it. Congrats, the poster is yours!!!

Thanks to the executive producer of HK I was able to put in the first 10 minutes of the film. Hope you enjoy the gore ;-)

Good work sluts!

Not got my DVD yet, can't wait though. Especially knowing it contains footage of Hollywood Kills. Nice job!

Can someone post the steps to reveal the egg on the DVD?

Out of curisoty Sven, what has been the reaction of this 'scene' DVD with the belt and braces crew (aka: the old guys in suits who don't watch movies, rather sign chequebooks and blame a movie flop on piracy as it's the best scapegoat). What was the reaction of the studio execs and the cast/crew of the movie, especially when they found out a workprint of L.A. Twister had been released.

Was the initial reaction anger because the work was released to the public for free? Did you come under fire from your bosses? How did you find out your movie had been leaked?

I don't mean as in who leaked it etc. None of my business and I don't want to know that anyway. I'm just curious to know about the thoughts and feelings of all involved with this work and the fact it a workprint was leaked. It's not every day you get to ask questions like this (without them being watered down before print by the world's newsagencies) to a Hollywood director!

Well, since the cat's already out of the bag.

Go to the trailers section, and then to the last one, Hollywood Kills, and hit up. The cursor or whatever should disappear and you've found it. At least, that's how it is on mine.

It's cool, very interesting if a little weird. Now we all have to wait for that to come out too!

I found out through Google. Every time someone on the internet writes something new about "L.A. Twister" I get an alert pointing me to that link. But I really don't know how the WP version got on the internet. I would think probably some early "reviewer" got a copy from the distributor.

well, this is indie-land, so apart from having very little money, I do have a lot of freedom.

There is no real pressure from executives because they don't exist. The distributor is kinda open-minded. They know the internet is a very powerful medium and any viral buzz can increase awareness a million times. My Investors, for the most part, are supportive, but ultimately they want to see return on investment.

It is my goal to proof to them that this could be a significant form of distribution. It is my goal to make them understand that it makes sense to offer up the film for free: Nobody is going to buy an L.A. Twister DVD unless they like the project. Nobody is going to like the project unless they are interested to find out more about it.

g.t. sven
