I thought I'd give this its own thread because a lot of people are asking about it and I need info from a lot of people still.
For those of you that don't know, I am creating a DVD of the movie. It was going to be a surprise, but most know by now that the DVD will include ALL 5 FA movies! So, if you will PM me your shipping information, I can have these out hopefully next week or so. So please, please let me know where I can send you a copy.
Just send me 3 easy paypal payments of $99.99 to maddogjwn13@hotmail.com and this DVD can be yours! Relive the excitement, the thrills, the magic of the Furious Angels as they battled Machines, took down the Cypherites, and brought freedom to mankind!
OK, just kidding about the payments... but please let me know where to send the DVD. Thanks to everyone for making this happen. My little way of thanking all of you for the past 3 years or so of fond memories and good friendships.
It is by no means necessary, nor am I asking by any means, but several people have asked where they can donate money toward shipping/disc/label expenses so, just so everyone knows, my paypal is maddogjwn13@hotmail.com.
Here is the list of people who HAVE given me their shipping info:
Anamodiel
Archnemesis
Bellthazor
Da6onet
Eroz
Fuse
Jeyk
Lithium
Lits
ManicVelocity
Pirus
Sared
Tbone
Yotogi
Broin, if you have a miscellaneous drop box I can leave it in for one of your agents to retrieve, let me know. Otherwise I will send a copy to the north pole, CTU Los Angeles, and CIA headquarters in hopes that one finds you.
Everyone else, please send me info if you want one! Your info will NOT be shared with anyone. And if you want extras, you have only to ask (but I expect some big bucks, jk)
As far as the progress, it's ready to rock as soon as I get the commentary...
-
PS, I know you're gone for a few days now T, but I need you and Broin to do your commentaries ASAP. Thanks guys.
That's right everyone, the movies will include commentary tracks from the creators and lead actor of each film! (Plus many more extras!)
-
Should have Internet up and running again in about 12 hrs and I'll be good to go!
-
hells yeah commentary! I'd watch that sh*& with a tube of pringles!
-
still waiting on that commentary... The rest is pretty much set. Will be done next week depending on commentary
-
I want to comment. =(
-
Info sent.
-
Tossed you the few bucks I promised... Who's Jenny?
-
I just got it. Thank you. My sister. She set up my paypal account way back when I was 13 so I could get something on ebay, but it won't let me change the name on the account though it has been mine for 11 years... I should create a new account, but just haven't. It's really annoying tho.
Added Tecknik to the list. Still missing a lot of people up there. Ana, I know you moved in, get me an address. Everyone get me an address. Again, I promise NO info will be shared with anyone else.
The DVD is looking good, gonna burn a test DVD soon.
-
Information sent. :)
-
I just got it. Thank you. My sister.
Is your sister... nvm...
-
... she's 34 if that's what you were going to ask... everyone asks the real question about everyone's sister and I have been told time and time again by many people that yes she is.
-
yes she is.
Pics or it didn't happen! :p
-
Where troubles melt like lemon drops...
Seriously. I think this is becoming unhealthy. I watch this video damn near all day on my iPod.
Manic wants his Matrix back. :'(
-
Extend your skills to the emu team. They have a great start, but it will be a lonnnnng time before the newest simulation is ready unfortunately.
-
I've gotten PMs ont he forums about if we'll make another movie if it works... lol
-
"All Good Things..." really just was the perfect ending to a lot of things - our movie series, MxO, etc. To try to do something beyond that might just diminish the effect that the movie has. That being said, if emu ever gets to that stage, the movies we could do would be something along the lines of "Adad: The Awakening". They would be prequel movies that are more of a nod to the FA story-arch than a main part of it (think X-men Origins: Wolverine...lol)
-
Yea, that's wat I was thinking too, I think I mentioned that in DC or something, that would be fun as hell. Just a bunch of Origin stories, or in this case, Awakening stories
-
Still waitin on a commentary...
-
Broin just got back in town, so soon.
-
Can't help but notice u 2 have been in TS alllll night...
-
Just watched the movie... again...
What did you end up using for the agent bullet-time sound effect? I remember you asking if anyone had it back when you were editing. The effect you used sounds very similar to what is used in the films, but something about it is slightly different.
-
I just found one in a random matrix sound effects file. It's definitely not accurate, but works.
-
PS- still no commentary...

I think I actually like it better than the original. It sounds a bit more sinister.
Good find. :)
-
Yeah, Broin, maybe Friday night or Saturday night?
-
Yea broin, maybe asap...
-
I have a feeling the commentary's gonna be hours of Broin saying "Yeah I remember when I had to re-shoot this scene a million times because of those damn zombies."

Sorry!
-
hey, we all need a legacy, right?
-
As long as he says "i shit you not" I'll be happy
-
and still NO commentary...
-
I predict Q1 of 2010.

That's not in time for the holiday season, though.

Hopefully we won't lose too many sales.
-
I could send them out by Friday if only I had that one special feature from a certain Commander and First-Mate...............................................................................................................................
-
Fuck it. I'll record it for both of them. I'll do it like they're both in the room and I'll just talk to myself.
-
Can you make Broin sound like Brewko?
-
Can you make Broin sound like Brewko?
Are you trying to get me killed?
-
lmao!
-
All right all right... Tbone pick a day and time for this.
-
Don't worry, a commentary has already been sent in, if another is not recorded within a few days, that one will be used. Thank you to the gentleman that recorded it, you did a great job thanking me for my awesomeness throughout.
-
I think I can do it late tonight around 10:30 fa time. After my date with Dagonet. Haha!

My girl has things to do after the show :(
-
better bring flowers then
-
I've already done flowers for the week
-
*Mental note, Lits puts out for flowers...*
-
I'm here! Broin is not...
-
shocking...
-
Broin was on earlier, but then Broin had to restart his computer because he was having some graphical issues while playing TF2... and he never came back.
Hopefully his computer is OK!
-
probably needs a new power supply
-
Here we go again...
-
He hasn't been online since...
-
Don't use my fake commentary. Wait for Broin.
-
Well if he has a fancy super duper iPhone he could have at least posted something. Unless of course he dropped the phone and it blew up in his room and killed him. Maybe.
-
Sorry, this is taking way longer than expected. P90X + new girl = no time. As soon as Broin resurfaces, we'll set a date.
-
Lith, seriously... I think you're in love with the iPhone and can't admit it.
And does anyone else think it's super cute that T brings up his new girlfriend everychance he gets? <3 T :)!
-
I think it's super lame, mr "I'll never be attached for more than a week"
-
Since it only lasts a week, I have to milk it for all it's worth! Heh
-
Yeah seriously, is that over yet? I'd like to collect my winnings.
-
no commentary...weird...
-
Broin and I have scheduled to do it tonight. Cross your fingers.
-
x x x x x thats all of them crossed
-
Well, I've been here all night. Still no Broin...
-
Sorry... Work beat the hell out of us today.
I'm game for Friday around 9:00 FA time or Saturday night or Sunday night
-
Busy all three nights. Work. Maybe sometime during the week next week. Ugh...
-
Production remains on schedule for Q1 2010.
-
I quit. There's no Christmas this year kids. Tbone and Broin are just serving up coal to everyone. I'm deleting the DVD files.
-
Take my $10 and buy a drink on me Adad.
-
haha, I may have to...
-
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Broin and Tbone online at the same time.
They must be the same person! Broin is Tbone! The mystery is solved!
-
Good, then it should be easy to get that commentary...
-
Quick update here, for those of you that still care about this...lol
I have finally received and cut the commentary from Tbone and Broin. I am currently watching the actual DVD to preview it. First on a little standard Def TV then on my 55" LED. So far on the little one it looks amazing. Much better than I even expected. I should be able to get these out as early as this weekend, but realistically early next week.
Anyone who has not gotten me their shiping info... DO IT
-
Do you have an updated list? I can't remember if I gave you mine or not...
-
OK, so everyone should go out to your local Best Buy, grab a 55" LED and a PS3 to upconvert it and enjoy the magic. It looks pretty damn solid. A few little tweaks and I'll be ready to start copying them.
-
Are we going to get credits? Maybe outtakes? Any extra video? I think I asked before but forgot your answer...
-
no credits, but plenty of the rest.
-
GLEE!
-
GLEE!
INDEED!
-
My brother watched the movie last night. His only comment:
"Your ass got capped."
-
Does everything have to be homosexual innuendo with you?
-
lol
-
Well played, sir.
-
ETA?
-
Why can I not add the latest movie to my IPOD? It shows up as something that I can put on but it won't load up... What's the deal yo!

Is it converted to M4V format?

I read what you typed Manic but in my head it looked like this

Re-route the G-Line and amplify the format spectrum. You might also want to top off the processor fluid and balance the A-Frame.
Or just download this:

Open the zip file and drop the M4V file into iTunes, then sync your iPod.

-
you mean "monkey" ? :P
-
yes....yes i do.
-
Those operatives on my list, check your mail this week...
-
JOY!
-
Just got mine. Debating if I should watch it when I get home, or wait until tomorrow when I can utilize the really really expensive office projector.
-
lol, close call...
-
My wife picked me up today and handed me the DVD and I smirked. :) The first thing I did was check out the outtakes - Thanks for the nod. Lol
I'm watching them all right now with the commentary. Great job so far!
The quality of the DVD is super high. Adad really impressed me yet again. Might have a few more comments after I watch the rest though.
-
Holy shit I found the thing-with-the-thing with the wife in the room. Thank god she was busy on the laptop.
Great job T, Broin, and Adad. Thanks for this. Have any issues with me making copies for a few friends?
-
no issues on my end. sorry about the thing with the thing. I can make copies for your friends without the thing with the thing if you would prefer. Most likely that thing with the thing would prefer that.
-
Very well done, thank you so much for putting this together.
I miss MxO :-(
edit: sorry for the spoiler
I feel commentary should now be a requirement of all future FA films.
-
keep it on the down low, not everyone knows yet......................
-

No apologies needed - it was quite funny. That might be best as I was going to send this to a few people for recruiting purposes, and one of my co-workers teen daughters loved our movies, but he might raise an eyebrow (if just that) if she saw the thing. I'm brining this to work and showing it off tomorrow. =)
-
Alright, I'll make some for u.
-
Tbone said it best in the commentary: "Bitter sweet". I'm still grieving the loss of this game. With all its faults, it was something that felt like it belonged to us.
I'm going to cherish this DVD. The quality is beyond words.
The movies are a lot higher quality than I anticipated. Even the Beta video. The commentary is perfect. I had to watch the outtakes twice. Everything on this disc is epic nostalgia. It's a shame that there aren't any easter eggs, though. Something like that would have been cool.
-
..........
-
My DVD isn't working. I don't know if it is my computer or what. I'll try playing it in a regular dvd player if I ever find one. It won't run in Windows Media Player at all (my DEP shuts it down). I can play it on VLC, but neither of the photo galleries will run (it freezes during transition with the music continuing). I also want to know what the hell you guys are talking about with thing with a thing and easter egg stuff. I'm guess it is in something I can't get to!
-
I just noticed an audio syncing issue during All Good Things. It happens during the first fight scene between me and the agent and continues through the movie. The audio is about half a second behind the video. Anyone getting this?
-
Well I'll be damned... Please let me know if any of you have any other suggestions for version 2.0 as I will have to re-burn all of these :(
-
I hadn't noticed it at first because I only watched it with commentary, but yeah it's there too. =/
-
Sync issue status:
The Furious Angels (Beta Video) - Very slight audio sync that happens at the end of the video. Not noticeable unless you're really paying attention.
FA Halloween - OK
Code Fury - OK
Angels of Vengeance - Slight sync issues. I start to notice it after Tbone is chasing Trucidos out of the building and the dramatic black and white freeze-frame effect is applied to various fight sequences. I hear the "swoosh" sound effect slightly before the video cuts to the black and white freeze-frame. It's very noticeable when Trucidos' jack gets pulled. Trucidos only drops to the ground after the "jack pull" sound effect finishes, when in the original movie the two events happen simultaneously.
All Good Things - As mentioned, the sync issue begins during my fight with the agent as Ana is hacking the access node. It continues through the duration of the film. It's very noticeable when a gun clip is loaded, or a fight enters bullet-time.
Everything else seems to be working just fine.
I know this took a lot of time and resources to put together. I'm more than willing to mail a check or submit a payment through PayPal to ensure the finished product is as good as can be. Hell, Adad, I insist that you take my money. Just tell me how you'd like it delivered.
-
maddogjwn13@hotmail.com that is all i will say
-
Done
-
dude seriously??? Wow...I knew the DVD was good, but that's too much. How many copies do u need? 100? :) Thanks a lot buddy
-
Main sync issue fixed...sorry guys. Just burn the piece of crap you have received...
-
dude seriously??? Wow...I knew the DVD was good, but that's too much. How many copies do u need? 100? :) Thanks a lot buddy
I paid what I felt it was worth. If it really is too much, put the remainder towards our inevitable epic space tale. :)
I consider the faulty DVD a collector's item.
"Dude, I got the latest FA DVD!"
"Whatever man. I got the limited edition DVD with the audio sync issues. Only the true FA fans have these."
-
lol, that i can do.
-
adad; I think I have now done this (first time on paypal I am afraid). Let me know if you need anything else. can not wait.
-
Yes u did. Again u guys are too generous. Wow. Thanks a lot! I still need ur address, it did not give it to me as u haven't verified it yet. Please pm it to me. Thanks
-
Adad, I'm convinced you should be selling these to the old MxO community. If only for the cost of the disk and shipping.
-
Thanks, I got the DVD in today's mail. I had a chance to sample it.
Everything was very well done! I'd be happy just the way it is but if you're looking for some constructive criticism.
I didn't look for any sync issues, sounds like Manic pointed out most.
At the end of the two special features with the picture galleries it would freeze on my DVD player and then resume when I pressed play again. It was basically the transition back to the menu I think.
I played it on the projector which is 16:9 and I noticed the pictures was slightly stretched. It was noticeable in the bullet shots where the bullet was oval.
Lastly, the dream suggestion: if we are going to make a version 2 someday why not remaster the sound tracks in 5.1 surround? And have an option to play with original sound or remastered. We could redo the voice work in the older videos and redo all the sound effects. :)
-
Just got my DVD in the mail today and it made my year. Surprising what a taste of the digital will do to you after a weekend in iron.
-
Thank you for this Adad, I now consider my Matrix DVD collection complete.
Oh and the "thing-with-the-thing"; spectacular!
-
I haven't gotten mine yet :(. I can't wait!
-
Just got it today... amazing!
-
I got mine yesterday as well!
-
Soooo any word on the updated version?
-
Sorry, like last time this got put on the back burner a bit as I've been doing a lot of work for my jobs and trying to make ends meet and what have you. I have a lot of free time next week so I intend to burn and send those out then.
-
...trying to make end's meat and ....
Mmmm Meat.
lol, i had to.
All that aside, i need to stop being broke so i can donate some money to you >_<
-
I need to try a different DVD and see if it is my hardware, software, or your DVD that causes it not to work...
-
I love listening to the commentary. I've lost count how many times I've watched this thing and I'm still not tired of it.
-
A fun little tidbit about the commentary. I wasn't even there when they recorded it, I recorded myself and spliced it in during All Good Things... bet you didn't know that ;)
-
I kind of picked up that there was no direct back and forth between you guys so thought that could have been the case. Still it was done well.
-
shhhh...there was plenty of back and forth... ;)
-

I noticed it when Tbone said "We tried to get Adad in here...", shortly after you introduced yourself. It made it sound like Tbone was childishly ignoring you. :D
-
I still haven't gotten the DVD. :(
USPS has already lost 3 packages to my address in the last few months - fortunately, I was able to recover two of them thanks to Delivery Confirmation.
-
I just watched the movies with the Commentary... I love this DVD as much as my Ultimate Matrix Collection box.
-

As it just so happens, I keep my copy wedged in my Ultimate Matrix Collection box.
Go figure.
-
Mine is in my work laptop for easy viewing while employed. =)
-
Any further update on this?
-
Who's the asshole who is keeping everyone waiting??? They will make it in time for Christmas. They are fixed and burned, just need to label them again...
-
cool;)
-
If you watch All Good Things in reverse, it's about a bunch of Zionites who save a church from being destroyed, then spend the rest of their time chasing agents through Mega City. And everyone apparently speaks Klingon.
It's hilarious.
-
You've watched this too much...
Who else needs a copy that didn't get it last time??
Broin, any way to send you one?
Anyone else?
-
Broin, any way to send you one?
"Double wrapped garbage bag dropped off in the chalk-marked trashcan at 5th and Main. No Cops."
-
If I correctly recall, Pirus sent Broin something once (Video card? Some computer part). It was like a drop box somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Broin had told Pirus not to look up the address of the place. He did anyway, and soon after Pirus looked up the address, if I recall correctly, the place could no longer be looked up on Google Earth/Maps. Broin later came on and told Pirus that he shouldn't have looked up the address.
-
nocry fumma mucker;)
-
Something like that... Don't know Adad we'll have to figure something out.
-
I heard Broin uses the addresses of friends of friends who live in different countries. So one friend gets the package in Germany, who sends it to a friend in the US. Then Broin flies out on a private jet to the friend's house (which is surrounded by snipers in case anyone tries to assassinate Broin) to pick up the package, then flies back in the same day.
-
Broin's already taken a copy out of Adad's house.
-
If he hasn't yet, I'm sure he will Christmas Eve on his annual visit.... ;)
Just let me know.
Yea, NoCry, I got yours ready.
-
You comming out on Friday? If so, just bring mine with...?
-
Not livin in Chi yet. Early next year.
-
Broin's already taken a copy out of Adad's house.
Not yet... But I do know where he lives

Much shorter drive than DC. =)

Not yet... But I do know where he lives
Not that it's that hard to find out, but that still frightens me... I hope I'm still on his good side.

Have any random people given you a handshake recently? I recall that you are still owed one.
-
I certainly am owed one yes...
-
Stocking stuffers sent. Enjoy, my little elves :)
Broin, feel free to intercept one for yourself, they have been sent via USPS to 16 members' homes.
If someone doesn't receive one before Christmas, you know why ;)
-
Got mine today! Watched it with co-workers in the remaining minutes before the office closed. :D Our lead programmer was very impressed. He was asking all kinds of questions about the game and how we choreographed the movie. He was rather upset when I told him it had been shut down.
Best Christmas gift ever!
-
Got mine yesterday just before I had to leave for XMas at the in-laws. Thanks! =)
-
I'm sure it's sitting in my dorm mailbox waiting to be opened.
-
Awesome Christmas gift! :D
Thank you, Adad Claus!
-
I came home from out of town with a special final gift from Santa Adad...
Now i gotta go a few pages back and find that paypal link xD
-
glad I got it to you guys in time for Christmas, or at least most of you. Broin probably intercepted everyone else's. Hope it's good enough this time ;)
*cough* maddogjwn13@hotmail.com *cough*
-
splendid; simply splendid!! well done all and i though the commentary was rather good indeed too. Can't wait for the next one!
-
Dunno wtf is up with mine, man. Got the new one in and tested it out tonight. The slideshow extras still freeze up. The audio keeps playing, but video freezes. I'm using VLC media player. Windows Media Player crashes when I try to use it on this DVD.
-
Get a good computer.

Whatever. You must have made this DVD on a Mac
