Too Long?

Thursday, May 17, 2007

Some of our hopes, and I same some now instead of most due to the results, were pinned on being part of the online competition for Star Wars fan films on atomfilms.com. Those hopes are now dashed. We did not make the cut. At all. We aren't even on list of total films on the site. Disappointing, yes but I still believe the film will do big things. With all the video sites out there we can at least cast a much broader net on the net. I was talking to David and we both agreed that our assumption on why we were not included was due to length. "Rise of the Troopers," runs a whopping 21 minutes. As most you you know that is an eternity on the web. However, due to the pacing of the film it is an especially brisk 21 minutes and I realize that with in a span of 2 sentences I have completely contradicted myself.

Such is the nature of the web. Attention spans are short, yet we thought and still do think the films views a lot faster than the final number of minutes suggests. We'll just have to trust that it will play that way. It may be a hurdle and my be something we look into as placing on the web in parts for more views.

I'm not sure how this is going to effect our coverage on Celebration IV but the guys will still be going and our hopes for ROTT will be to generate significant buzz while out there. Tomorrow night is the cast and crew premiere of the film and I'll be posting reactions and photos from that event. Hopefully it won't be too long...
