bobsled92 0 #1 December 24, 2002 ummm my mail box is still void of: "1 small flat & square package". May be I'm wrong about "2002" and Dec. 24th but, I never got an e-mail saying different about the PRE-PAID(in July) DVD?_______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #2 December 24, 2002 No kidding. I don't think I would have pre-ordered if I knew at the time it would take 5 months to get it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin922 0 #3 December 24, 2002 QuoteNo kidding. I don't think I would have pre-ordered if I knew at the time it would take 5 months to get it. Yeah this sucks. I bet money they mail it to my old address (it's been so long i've since moved! i emailed them numerous times about my new address and finally got some email back that said "okay" or something to that effect) Grrrr.. all this for skydiving boobies and jumps. I just found this on freefall.com: QuoteGRANT FROM MARTINISHOTS has asked the Freefall Staff to gather a little more information that he can add to the credits. We've started a round-robin kinda email among staff people to get that information ASAP for him. Grant says that as soon as we are done with this, he will have the the video ready for duplicating so it can be mailed to you soon. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO ORDER A COPY. I will be in contact with Grant next week and will bring you an update. If you bought one of the 2001 videos, you know what I mean when I say this is a beautiful product he is producing and you will LOVE it! Now that seems a little unprofessional to me. They have had 5 months to do that. These would have made good christmas presents. But hey what do I know.. i don't make the videos, i'm sure they've put a lot of time into it. I'm just peeved i don't have it yet :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin922 0 #4 December 24, 2002 And this was on martini shot's website: QuoteThe WFFC 2002 Video is finished and has been sent to the duplication process it should arrive in just a week or 2 depending on your location and the holidays! The Video has also entered the DVD authoring phase and we will post additional updates as they become available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #6 December 24, 2002 QuoteNo kidding. I don't think I would have pre-ordered if I knew at the time it would take 5 months to get it. Had you guys had your head in the sand? Do you not remember this exact same set of complaints EVERY FRIGGIN YEAR? Martini Shots ALWAYS ships around this time of year. Personally, I think they make a great product, and anyone who's done some video editing knows that its very work intensive. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Vallerina 2 #7 December 24, 2002 Quote Had you guys had your head in the sand? Do you not remember this exact same set of complaints EVERY FRIGGIN YEAR? It was shipped on time last year. But, I agree. They have kick ass video stuff, and I am always more understanding with skydiving companies than any other companies. It's really not a big deal; you will get your video eventually. Think about it this way...the later you get it, the less time there is till the next Convention!There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cajones 0 #8 December 24, 2002 Everyone try to remain calm! The production had a few delays. The biggest one was, in fact, the credits list the WFFC was asked to provide immediately after the Convention. It's something that should have been done when names were fresh in peoples minds. The request was put below other priorities, and was only recently complete. It was the last hurdle before duplication, and videos should ship very soon. The DVD base encode is complete and "extras" are being added and chaptered. Please be patient, as a project of this size/caliber often relies on more people and businesses that we'd like, to produce the quality you are all entitled to. The laws of physics are strictly enforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #11 December 24, 2002 I'm sure there is a lot of work that goes into making a video and DVD than most skydivers know. Yes, I am very excited about getting my DVD, but I want a good product, so you guys go ahead and take the time that is needed to put something as wonderful at the WFFC tape/DVD together. (how was that? now does Michael and mine stunt make the DVD? ) Famosa May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

GrumpySmurf 0 #12 December 24, 2002 Wise reply ;) This is becoming one hot potato. Me thinks the confusion would have been avoided had they published a guesstimated release date during the pre-order process - odds are alot of folk (overly optimisticly) figured it'd be done within a month or so of the WFFC. *shrug* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 0 #13 December 24, 2002 Opie's advice to all with fewer that 3 years attendance at the wffc. DO NOT PLAN ON JUMPING THE JET Maybe it'll be there maybe not i'm sure someone will do the math but I give it a 20% chance of showing up any given year. If it does great, if not you won't be so pissed off. Hey if it made it every year it wouldn't be so special would it? Video, yeah it's cool but don't hold your breath on that one either. If one company does this 3 years in a row and get's it out within 3 months each year, then I would consider prepaying. Otherwise no reason to give them my money to operate on for who knows how longThat said, I Love the WFFC and I'll see ya next year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
