Bridge Day '08 DVD Now Shipping
After what seemed like a long three weeks in manufacturing, the Bridge Day DVDs have finally arrived! We will ship out as many as possible today, and the rest will be shipped tomorrow.

We are extending our pre-order pricing through the weekend, so if you know anyone who still hasn't ordered a copy, please spread the word. Orders can be placed at http://www.jump-cuts.com/bridgeday.html.

Thanks to each of you who ordered the raw footage of your jumps. We're planning to offer the same thing next year as part of a package with the official Bridge Day DVD. Our hope is that raw footage orders placed at Bridge Day will be delivered by Thanksgiving, with the official DVD being shipped separately in January. If you have any thoughts or feedback on that idea, please let us know.

Thank you all for your patience. I know you're anxious to see your jumps, and you should have your DVD within a few days.

Watched the video and raw footage last night. Awesome work! Really nice video quality. Was that 24p?

Thanks, Joe!

No, it was 60i. We shot 1080i and down-converted to SD.

It would be nice to shoot 720p and offer the BD video on Blu-ray someday, but for now it's just too expensive.

Nice job on the video. I especially like the case. The photo of the 8-way, both the one on the case and on the TV when the DVD is stopped is awesome. How can I get a high_res copy of that photo?
