Well, I think that adding the little title card was a success, though my Mum thought that Weeded Out was the title of the documentary! Episode 8 and 9 were surprisingly good. Compared to 3,4 or 7, I'd thought of them as being lesser episodes, but they work very well on Facebook. This is essentially a locked cut, but there might be some subtle alterations before we drop off the files to Ngā Taonga. Ideally, they could figure out how to upscale it into 2K. Probably file by file, and they might have the master tape of the Pirate Punters film as well. For me, this is really exciting: people haven't really watched a TV show that we'd made, though the Bad Man pilot got some solid views. It seems to be landing well with the audience, though obviously I wish I had the broadcasting allocation right now in order to get the message out to a larger audience. It might not be as impressive as LOTR, but I'm certainly proud of it, and it particularly makes me feel good as a pirate, given that piracy was one of the core values that drove the film. - I made another Movie Orgy which is comprised of Riddell Productions clips that aren't about weed, and that's really good to watch. It certainly captured the scene quite well.
