Some videos for you guys

[David Drummond]

I thought I would post up the video we (myself and Graham Butler) showed at the convention. It runs 19 min and although compressed for the web, it's still a pretty good viewing size and quality. You will probably want to have broadband to download it, as it runs 71.5 megs, but again, it's a 19 minute video!

I would rate it PG13. There is some mild language (most of it beeped out) and violent weather of course.

Also, I have been working with a couple of musical artists for our upcoming video release. I did a music video for one of them that I would like to share with you:

This music video also appears in the above movie, so you don't have to download them both unless you want to. It runs 03:46 and is 14.2 megs.

Lastly, we also showed a trailer for our upcoming video, and I would like to share that one as well:

These three things represent about 2 months worth of planning and work, I hope you guys like them.

David, I just watched it, and the "2004: Year in Review" video was spectacular. The Mulvane footage was great, but I think the Hallam segment was the best. My eyes were misting when the music really got going and the damage was shown; unbelievable. Again, great job, David, Gayla, and Graham.

EDIT: Gayla, the cover art is really cool, as are your other designs. The front cover is exactly the type that catches my eye when I'm browsing the documentary section at B&N or Hastings. Great all around effort, guys. Can't wait to see the finished product next month!

[Bill Hamilton]

I was very impressed with the video production. Like Sam mentioned the music and still shots did add a powerful touch to the visual experience.
This will be one to buy once it is released to the public. EXCELLENT PRODUCTION David, Graham and Gayla for your artistic talents.
I hope 2005 is just as good for you! (minus the very close lightning strikes and blown out windows :lol: )

[Gayla Drummond]

If anyone's interested in seeing the cover design, just go here:

David and Graham did a wonderful job, I fully agree....I was mostly the 'critic' while they worked on the video. :lol:
Then it was my turn when I did the cover art! :shock: :lol:

[Todd Rittinger]

Well done David, Graham, and Gayla. Powerful and moving. The Hallam vid at the end is gut wrenching.

Thanx for that David!

Be well, TR

[Caleb Lawrence]

I do concur. Amazing, absolutely amazing on both videos. Very well done.

[Sheila_Ward]

Excellent video. Good job guys!

[Gaetan Cormier]

To David Drummond and crew...

You guys did a wonderfull job witht this video segment, can't wait to see the rest in March.

The Hallam segment caught me right to the heart, while watching that segment, I couldn't stop thinking about all the Hallam residents that lost so much on that day :cry:

Thanks again for sharing this!

[David Drummond]

Thanks so much guys for the nice thoughts! I was going for a definite emotional impact. I am anxiously awaiting what the artist of the "Cry" song thinks. Their group is called DITTO btw and her name is Novenda Smith. She hasn't seen it yet either! :shock:

Oh, it was asked of me if they could share those links in other forums. By all means, feel free. I have that on a domain suited for bandwidth for that purpose. :wink:

I just hope the final product come out as well as we hope!

[Robert Dewey]

All I can say is absolutely awesome :!:

[Andy Wehrle]

Stunning. :shock: It has a little of everything, from beautiful tornadoes to sobering damage footage to moments of sudden white-knuckle terror. Not to mention the soundtrack. Two thumbs up!

I am pretty thrilled about the music. When I first approached the artist, she didn't even hesitate, she was like HELL YEAH! Then she her and her partner on her own accord when back and created and send me a CD full of soundtracks just for the upcoming video. The piano segment in the end of the one I linked here was part of that. She's a FANTASTIC artist, I can see her going far! Tremendous voice!

We also were able to work something out with a Texas country artist named Mark David Manders who has been very popular in the Texas circuits for some time now and some pieces of his music will make an appearance in the release.

To further add to that, an artist from Helsinki will have some background scores in there as well.

I couldn't be happier about the music that has been afforded us on this. Been a heck of a project to say the least. :wink:

[David Drummond]

Oh on a personal note, I just wanted to thank Gayla and Graham for putting up for me the past couple of months working on all this. I have been, shall we say, a BEAR, through most of it given my anal tendencies to have everything just so so. Lots of weeping and gnashing of teeth! So thanks for not running screaming into the night while I got through this.

Interesting story, I was finishing up that trailer the last night before leaving for the convention. I stayed up all night working on it, and about 4 am (we were scheduled to leave at 6 am) I was ready to encode it and clicked SAVE and the computer crashed and I lost EVERYTHING for it. I was heartbroken since I had worked all night on it and wasn't going to have it for the convention.

So on Graham's idea, we packed up my desktop, I wedged the box between the front and rear seat in Graham's truck, wedged the LCD screen between the backs of the front two seats and edited trailer again on the drive up to Denver on the road!

[Kyle Flannigan]

What an awesome video! I saw it at the convention and I'm glad you posted it on your site. Thanks David & Gayla Drummond, and Graham Butler!

[David Schuttler]

Wow.. :shock:

Ok not shocked coming from you but Wow!! Great job and lot's of dedication put into it from all. Can't wait for the finished products too.

The music really does add to the atmosphere while watching.


(My wife thought she sounded like Reba's sister :?: )

[Bill Tabor]

David, Graham, Gayla - excellent production and congrats on a great season on the plains! Thanks for sharing.

[Gayla Drummond]

Thank you to everyone!
I'm so proud of the two guys I can't stand it, lol.

Venda has a couple of other songs she's letting us use that are just awesome....I fell in love with her voice the minute I heard it. I told David then that I had a song I wanted him to listen to, but I think it was a week or so later before he did hear it.

She's an extremely talented and gracious lady who has just gone the extra mile for us, and it's just fantastic.

If you'd like to hear the two other songs of hers, "Creep" & "Mentalentity", just go here:

[T Vanden Broek]

I am a long time lurker, but '2004 in Review' has brought me forth at least to exclaim : Incredibly lovely and even more so with the music, I look forward to being able to experience the finished project. Thank you for the preview, it was quite powerful and moving! Congratulations on a fine work of art. :D

Very impressive work guys. I can't wait to see the new video.

[Andrew Geil]

Normally, I'm not one to purchase videos, but I think I will definately consider looking into this one.

Those are some very emotional scenes, esp. with the music in the background. Seeing that one house still barely standing in the dark with lightning flashing in the background is just.... creepy.


Excellent work man. Excellent.

[Chris C Sanner]

A fine production indeed! Can't wait for the full finished video guys/gal. Awesome job.

[Andrea Griffa]

David this is just an amazing work! It made me feel a lot of shivers :wink:

[Kyle Masters]

All I can say about this music video is... ... ...umm... ... yeah pretty much speechless. That is some of the most dramatic footage i've ever seen coupled with a dramatic song. It's just...wow. And that's all I can say.

[Melanie Metz]

I would also like to compliment you David and Gayla. Great video production and nice cover design. When I saw the Hallam video at the convention I was really moved. The song hit me hard as well. When I watch the video now I still get shivers. It really brings back the emotion and sadness I felt that night.

The Ditto music is great. I will have to check out their other songs.

[Melanie Metz]

Gayla, I fell in love with Novenda's voice the moment I heard it also. I read that "Drangonfly" is her coming album. Do you know when this album will be out?

I will find out! =)

[APritchard]

Very great stuff. I just watched the online video....and loved every second of it. I'll repeat that the end is definetly very emotional...and overall, very well done.

[AdrianElizabethParker]

Totally awesome and moving. I will get this video for sure. Glad I downloaded the movie because I think I am going to go watch it again :D

For Melanie and anyone else interested in ordering Venda's CDs, I've emailed her for information on where to find them.

She's been a bit under the weather lately, but is recovering, so it may take her a short time to get back to me on that.

:lol:

[Mike Hollingshead]

Very cool cry video! Well done and I agree she does have a very cool voice. Sometime tomorrow I'll have to let the puter dl that big file....at 56k...sigh.....

Thanks for sharing...

[Gayla Drummond]

Tell everyone who said something that I said thank you from the bottom of my heart

That's from Venda to all of you who commented on her voice/"Cry".

She currently is working on getting CD plans laid to get CDs for sale, and will pass the information onto me as soon as she has something firm set up.

[James Langford]

Wow, thanks for making this available. Great job with everything, and I especially loved the music near the end. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. :)

James

[patrick hedges]

Beautiful.... :D
Nice job guys (and girls too) :lol:

[Jamie Grunewald]

Very nice piece of work! I can’t wait to see your final product as well. As you can tell I'm new to the forum, but not to the practice of chasing. But, I'll keep that for a separate thread... but, again, nice job.

Jamie

[J.B. Dixon]

Excellent, excellent, excellent, David!!

Incredibly moving portion at the end.....as an aside, I drove through Hallam to set up S and E of the tornado only 20 minutes before it hit the town. I've had that visual in my head ever since May 22nd.

Keep up the incredible work, and hopefully we'll see you on the dusty trail up here this season.
