I don't actually have any of the original copy-run left - so there are all 'out there'.

I'm still getting requests for the DVD every now and then, which I've been making copies when I get the chance.

In my opinion, the only way to get the DVD to work... is to have an evangelist - someone who is willing to run off copies and send them out at the drop of a hat. Mass distribution is the only way to get it noticed. (I wasn't the person to do that for Volume 3 - day-time job got in the way)

I sent a copy of volume 3 to Total DVD magazine, as they were looking for short dvd's at the time. no reply, but being able to send a volume 4 might renew there interest.

Anyone else heard of Lulu.com?

I'd only heard of CustomFlix on-demand before, and they have a $50 setup fee. Lulu looks to be free and easy ....

Hey guys! I was thinking about starting the ball rolling with Vol4 over the summer, but didn't contect anyone in case they felt I was stepping on their toes... (Lee, that means you... U did such a good job with Vol3...)

I'd be up for putting the DVD together if anyoe wanted... It might not be as polished as last edition, but I'll put a good effort into it... anyone object to that?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Nope, my toes are firmly out of the way...

Do let me know if you want any of the existing resources, CD/DVD covers, etc (I'm starting to repeat myself now - so I'll shut up).

Good luck with vol.4!!!

OK... well, looks like I have arranged to take on the responsibility of edition 4... That's cool! I don't mind!

OK... well, if anyone has some films they want included, EMAIL ME and I'll give u a postal address to send them to...

At the moment, pretty much ANY format is acceptable... (video formats, I mean... NO FILM!)
I have access to a HUGE amount of equipment at my college, and so transferring to a DVD format shouldn't be a problem...

SUBMISSIONS: I should call a closing date for submissions... how about... JAN 2nd.... n(hangover goAWAY DAY)

Anything received after that date will NOT be included on the DVD!!!

Lee, I know you're in charge of the exposureshorts website... could U put a notice up advertising my email address to contact me about submissions...

Any questions: email me!
