Clock Crew DVD

[koalaclock]

In a nutshell...

This came up several times before.. would be cool..

There is a NG store now, Bob says any artist can sell a DVD as long as they're provided in batch beforehand, and NG takes a cut of the sales.

I suggest we create a Clock Crew DVD with extras, unique movies.... in a chronologically volumed collection, starting with "Clock Crew: Vol 1 - The Beginning" or something, consisting of movies between 2001-2003 or so.

Good idea or bad idea?

If so, I'll devote time to conducting the flash conversion, and putting the dvd together. We can make it swish, with nice menus, and interlaced video.

If anything like this is going on already, I'd love to help somehow.

:O

A point that always came up was copyright issues. A lot of CC movies use copyrighted songs and stuff that would be illegal to sell for profit.

We could still do it, but we'd have to narrow down the list a bit.

My only question is how are we supposed to get "B" in there, seeing as that isn't really a movie but a letter.

My solution is that
A) we don't use Music videos and
B) if possible we can change the songs in the movie.

If that is too much trouble, then yeah we're kinda low on choices.

B will be on the cover. and on the back as a summary on the movie

There will be a whole CD with 5 hours of B.

this has come up a few times here and there and i'll say what i always say. i'm no good at compiling or organising these sorts of things but i definitely support it and would be completely willing to adjust audio in my movies and render them as higher quality videos provided i haven't lost the originals in a fire somewhere along the way.

of course this only applies if any of my movies are wanted for the collection

[SageClock]

Make "B" about 5 minutes long. That will probably be long enough to make people laugh at how ridiculous it is that it's still going without overstaying its welcome too much.

And I have some professional production experience (albeit for video games), so if there's any way I can assist I'd definitely be interested.

As John said, we could create alternate soundtracks, perhaps using music from the audio portal. As long as stuff is used in a parodic sense, we'll be ok. The RAB DVD has done it, and thats up on the NG store. Honestly, I doubt the mass-public so bored enough to complain wont ever lay their hands on these DVD's. If the worst comes to the worst, we make it non-profit.

Fortunatly, a bunch of super old flash movies use EVENT triggered sounds rather than STREAMED. So we can just extract non-copyrighted material for use.

B would be listed as a movie, but is stored on the DVD as a still image (Like a menu). It'll just play forever, but takes virtually no storage space on the disc.

I'm going to try a test DVD tonight, which'll just consist of the Newgrounds logo, a bog-standard simple menu, B and Strawberry Clock VI (Or whichever one has the nerd in it). I'll upload the image somewhere or something.

The mass public might not, but Tom (and his legal advisors) might. You should probably check with him before producing a bunch of DVD's he'll ultimately reject.

I think I'm going to try and get the Clock Crew spam novel published. If Irvine Welsh can be taken seriously, this shouldn't be too much trouble.

[SageClock]

Does somebody have a DOC or a PDF of the spam novel (I think Leek does)? I'd really like to look over it, and maybe look into putting some of the CC Literature into that somehow.

i don't think anyone would mind their stuff being used as long as the money goes towards the crew as a whole and not just one individual person.

Strawberry Clock V btw

Yeah, you don't understand how legal issues work. See: countless fan game projects worked on to be released, for free, that got shut down.

Some of our best works are collabs based on a very mainstream song, Sonne, L (Star Wars music), The Void uses soundtracks from movies, etc.

[ToiletRollClock]

Instead of archiving stuff, why don't we start working on projects specifically for the DVD?
That way we can start new stuff, knowing not to use copyright materials, and it'll make the DVD more unique, making NG customers more likely to buy it.
Also there'll less format issues if we're thinking about how it'd show on a tv.

[Beret]

Yeah, that'd be awesome!
 
 
We should also have a contest for making the cover!

[Professor Lord Remmington]

Make B infinate long, just add in random events that kick in every 3 miniutes or so, like TreeClock could wander onto screen and clean it or something

[DigitalLemonClock]

what would be the point of having a dvd full of flash movies though

[GreyClock]

Questions you need to ask yourselves include:

Is there a market for it?
What's the added value of having this on DVD?
Is it worth the effort?

I would answer: no, nothing and no.

Yeah, you don't understand how my post worked. I was referring to movies that have 100% author created content. Not once did I say anything about non Clock Crew copyrighted material like songs.
