It's official. As of 3:47 pm, Monday, September 4th, TWENTY copies of the Collector's Edition of Back-Lot Insiders currently sit on my bookshelf.

I think I might actually be getting a hang of this creating DVD's thing. I actually found three things that I wanted to change after the first test burn and was able to go back in and make the changes relatively easily. (I actually forgot the third change, but Mel said I am the only who would care that the Production Stills were not in exact chronological order. So if you do care, take it up with Mel.) We started burning DVD's last night and when I left for work today, we had 20 done.

Let me tell you a little about the Collector's Edition.

Back-Lot Insiders: The Movie - This is pretty much the same movie sent to the judges for the 48 Hour Film Project with minor fixes. A few revised graphics that would have been there if we'd had the time. A couple of extended scenes that were shortened to stay in the required time range. An audio-video sync problem corrected. Nothing major. Oh and the credits have been fixed they way we wanted them, complete with music from the movie. Maybe even one final shot just past the credits.

Extras' Extras - Included in the Collector's Edition are FIVE unreleased Interviews with the characters, The entire Brokeback Auto TV commercial, Outtakes, and Production Stills.

Nigul - Find out what makes this extra tick, from childhood to first roles, what he really thinks of Mr. Moyer, and more. Plus, the endings that didn't quite make it.

Chuck Wagon - The rich extra who became extra rich. Learn more about the anti-Nigul.

Fred & Doug - Hear more from the actors who had their scene cut short during Coppola's "Advance Directive".

Sylvia - Who doesn't want more from America's Favorite Skanky Ho!

The Actor Who Got Pee'd On - Hear straight from the extra who played Nigul in the dramatization of the 'method extra' and his stint in the bathroom. He may actually know more than you'd think.

Brokeback Auto TV Spot - The actual commercial from Brokeback Auto. No annoying mockumentary playing over it this time!

Outtakes - See the giggles, the blurts, the fumbles, and the delirious-ness that ensues from staying awake for 47 hours.

Production Stills - Over 90 pictures taken during those famous three days known as the 48 Hour Film Project. See the people who put this thing together, but aren't pretty enough to put in front of the camera.

Wow! It kinda sucks that I can't actually sell this thing.
