DVD Special Features Help

January 28, 2010 | David

Wanna be in a GOLD DVD Special Feature? Of course you do!

Throughout the process of working on GOLD, we’ve been getting a lot of great fan emails, questions and suggestions. Among the most common were variations on “I’m enjoying the show, but can you tell me more about tabletop RPGs?” or, “This is awesome - you guys should make some tabletop RPG how-to videos.”

Well, we don’t have the resources to do a how-to series on top of the series proper (and there are actually a couple of really good how-to videos out there). But I would like to address these common questions in the special features. To that end, we’re making two new videos. Each will be a short collection of video testimonials from the cast, crew, GOLD fans and people in the RPG industry, responding to the following:

Explain tabletop RPG gaming in 25 words or less.
What has RPG gaming meant to you (in 25 words or less)?

Obviously, to do this I need help. I’d love to get (from as many of you as possible) a short video, answering 1 or both of these (each question answered separately). The responses to each should be as short as possible - 20-30 words long. Basically, a video “tweet.” Each video should be a few seconds long at most - I won’t be able to use longer videos. One sentence. Seriously.

The videos don’t need to be stellar quality - the camera and microphone built into your laptop or even your iPhone (or what have you) are fine. Just sit down, make certain you can see yourself in-frame, and record. Higher production values are also welcome, of course ;-) If you can also include a minute or so of your gaming crew actually at play (for b-roll during the montage), that’d be awesome, too. Just get their permission first!

When you’ve got your video, email me at goldtheseries@gmail.com and let me know, and I’ll send back simple instructions for uploading it to our server.

Deadline is Sunday, February 14 (a little more than 2 weeks). I’ll also send a little release form to everyone who shoots me a video, just to cover all my bases. These videos will be used as part of the DVD special features explained above. The completed montages may also be released online (if they turn out to be really cool).

Lemme know if you have any questions. I can’t wait to see what y’all have to say!
