64 Days - Part 4, via Vimeo
It’s taken Amanda and I a long, long time to put out this episode – and in the last several months since we released 8, the script for 9 has gone through many changes. The last two weeks that we’ve been working on this has been exciting, I didn’t realize how much I miss posting new episodes.
I’m watching the progress bar on Vimeo slowly climb past 8% and it’s a little before 1 in the morning as I’m writing this. It’s gonna be a long night – but it’s worth it.
So – a brief introduction to this episode. This is the 9th episode overall that we’ve put out, and it’s the 4th chapter in the 64 Days series. It introduces in greater detail the three crew members: Olan, Olivier, and Jef. Who all flew out from Belgium to work on Pedal without any pay… at least yet, I hope I’ll be able to change that when the film is finished *fingers crossed*
Our time on the road with them taught us both so much. It was an experience I will never forget – and never really know how to properly put into words. Well, enough talk. I hope you enjoy it. Amanda and I worked very hard on it.
If you do enjoy it, as always we’d love to hear your comments and questions – but also, if you have a twitter account, we’d really be flattered if you send out a quick twitter about it. Which you can do all with one click here.
We’re also excited about being able to embed this episode on your own blog in beautiful HD – we purchased 10,000 HD embeds from Vimeo so you can see it in full resolution *anywhere* on the web – so please help us put those 10,000 embeds to good use!
And as I mentioned in my last post – here’s a link to the PDF of episode 9’s script. This was scanned in about two weeks ago, so you’ll notices some slight differences in what’s typed out and what ended up in the timeline. We tend to make small changes and rearrange the edit up until the last minute.
Thanks for being so patient with us – and thanks for all the support.
64 Days - Part 3, via Vimeo
I guess I should start this post off by answering two questions: 1) “Why did we re-release part 3” And 2) “Do I really have to re-watch this?”
First; part 3 was extremely exhausting for Amanda and I to write, record and edit. And by the time we were 2/3rds of the way finished cutting it together, we stepped back and said, “ehh, this is getting long, I think it’s good enough the way it is now”. And we chopped off the whole ending we had written. What bugged us about doing that after the fact, was that the ending is what tied the whole episode back into the rest of the 64 Days series.
And second; If you’re pressed for time, then my honest answer would be, “No.”, you don’t have to watch the *whole* thing. But if you wanted to see the major change, then you could skip to the last 3 minutes. As for the rest, there are only minor changes… many things taken out, several small things added in.
I believe Amanda and I said this before, when we first posted Episode 8, that we would never be 100% happy with this episode. That there was just too many things that could never be squeezed in – but I think we both try to remind ourselves that 8 was one of our most successful episodes. Not in number of views, but definitely in comments and reaction. People really opened up after watching it, and no matter how many little things we know we had to leave out, I think we still managed to make something people can relate to.
Okay, enough stalling. I hope you like the extended cut of this episode. As always we’d love to hear your comments and questions – but also, if you have a twitter account, we’d really be flattered if you send out a quick twitter about it. Thanks!
64 Days - Part 1, via Documentary:
64 Days is a making-of series shot during the filming of For Thousands of Miles in the summer of 2007. This is part 1 in a series of 8 pieces.
I’m really not sure how this happened, but the videos of 64 Days were never properly imported when I switched the blogging platform from Blogger to Tumblr, the only two pieces of 64 Days that exist as post are Parts 3 and 4, so, I’ll be adding in Parts 1 and 2, starting with 1, which was very flatteringly posted on Documentary.
