"FOR LIBERTY" re-cut 2012 campaign tool - New version view within

[AdamT]

Breaking off from the main thread, here's the latest version hot off the presses...more less the final version going to the first batch of 10,000 DVDs. Since we have the subtitle file done, there is picture lock...meaning any changes would have to be minor and could not shift the program forward or back within the timecode numbers.

There were 10 pages of critiques and changes we made throughout the main program from the first version we posted (see main thread), which should satisfy the majority of people who commented in the thread.

There now is a new ending (Addendum), which starts around 55:50:00, that kind of carries the viewer through the key events following the 2008 campaign, which have pushed our cause forward up through RP's 2012 announcement. I love this new section!

The song in the Addendum is going to be switched out to a song that's being composed for us specifically for the part, with a similar vibe. As soon as that comes in the master is being overnighted to the replicator.

Cool!!! I needed something to listen to this afternoon!!!

ETA - Dammit. I'm have to remember that I have to keep working while it's on.

[robpatozz]

Great work! Again, you have all outdone yourselves. We will be buying many copies to distribute.

[Sentinelrv]

Can't wait to watch this!

[angelatc]

Dan! Our names are in the credits!!!!

Thanks Chris and Corey ! For the rest of today, I get to be cool!!!

[dannno]

Dan! Our names are in the credits!!!!

Who, me?

[RonPaulVolunteer]

When will we be able to embed this in Ron Paul Flix?

[angelatc]

Who, me?

I don't think so, but everybody looks alike on the internet!

[AdamT]

When will we be able to embed this in Ron Paul Flix?

When we can get the final version rendered out at 720p and uploaded to YT. Right now the delay is a song we're waiting on. We'll probably upload once we get the new site up and have copies available...at least 2 weeks out.

Awesome, let me know!

[hazek]

Perfect. (watched the whole thing)

[Pheonix]

High quality and effective; nearly brought me to tears at a number of points. Do you know what the pricing is going to look like?

[dannno]

Ya i think you meant to say "Damn! Our names are in the credits!" and said "Dan! Our Names our in the credits!"

For someone who barely tolerates my presence here it didn't make sense that you'd word it that way, plus that happens to me a lot in real life.

Not 100% certain yet, but they will come in packs with a bigger discount as you go up. 10s, 25s, 50s, 100, 250s, 500s, 1000s. On the high end (lower quantity) in the $2.50/ea range, on the low end (higher quantity) we will push them under $.90/ea maybe lower. So a 10 pack might be $25.00. If a Meetup group ordered 1000 it might be $900.

I would like to get some feedback on this. Want them to be really affordable but we have to cover our costs and make a little, which will go back into ordering more copies.

[A7sus4]

That was excellent, very inspirational.

[KramerDSP]

Amazing! Thanks for the credit, even though I really didn't do anything but be a pest. I'm going to get quite a few copies and distribute them to friends and family.

You folks certainly deserve something for this first class effort, so I don't think anyone should be opposed to you charging more than the baseline. As long as you exercise some wisdom by perhaps charging less for groups making a push in key states/regions who are buying bulk, I'd be fine with whatever you charge. Since you're from within the movement, we know that your priority is to help grow the cause more than to make a profit, so you have my full trust!

I think the pricing you've stated is good. You guys should certainly make a profit, one that doesn't have to go back to the movement.

Maybe you could put the extra back into ordering more, but have a separate chipin for 'profit for producers'. People could pay you there. I'd help promote that. There might even be folks who would wait and remember to hook you up after the election.

I have said this before to Chris. And I think it's important.

I don't understand why you guys left out the punch line. The infamous " Just come home. We just marched in. We can just just come home."

I just don't get it. It's like telling a joke without the punch line. Why did you leave it out?

To me it is very frustrating. His answer is part of those questions and his was the best and shows EXACTLY how he feels and you leave it out.

That clip came out because it was part of an Iowa debate section that got cut...that Iowa part (tax rally, debate, straw poll) was just way too long. I wouldn't have a problem adding that little cut back in as a bonus section on the DVD. It's right around 30 seconds long so it would fit no problem. The menu selection could be "Ron Paul on the Iraq war", then that clip would play through. Thoughts?

[TheTyke]

I absolutely love the original, and I absolutely love the remake as well. It really calls back the feelings from that awesome time.....

There is one thing that stands out to me though... both of them seem to focus a lot on foreign policy. Especially as a tool for the 2012 election, it seems that normal Republicans would be "hooked" by Ron's prescience on the economy and the tea party connection, and might then give the rest of it more of a chance. But I suppose I should have participated in the suggestion thread a while back.

In any case, it's amazing work, and thanks for what you all did!

[MJU1983]

That was excellent. I enjoyed it very much.

[Sentinelrv]

Finally finished it! I'm glad you took my suggestion and added the addendum section. Like I said, it really changes the perception that Ron Paul has no chance by showing all the accomplishments of the liberty movement since 2008, especially Ron's straw poll winnings. This will help to change people's beliefs and convey that he has a great chance of winning.

[Chieppa1]

I $#@!ing LOVE this movie. Oh, and I just let my cousin watch this. He's been following my posting on FB and I just think he's waking up. A young, 18 year old who just graduated high school. Reminds me of myself in 08. I can't stop smiling.

[Johnnymac]

posted it on f.b hopefully all my brainwashed friends will see this and wake up... probably not but its worth a try

[Nate-ForLiberty]

Holy f-ing crap!!! That was A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL CUT!! Great tempo all the way through. An hour that passes so fast! Great opening and fantastic!!!!! ending!. The clip with Judge Nap gave me chills and rekindled some hope in my heart that I didn't even realize had died.

Adam, thank you so much for your work. Thank all of those involved in this project for me, too. I think moving 1 million copies of this film is a serious underestimation. What can we do to get this on prime time tv?!?!

.......my god it was soooo good!

[truthdivides]

This movie is so ridiculously good!

[Fractal_Outlook]

oops... posted in the old thread...

I'll post it agaaaain!

59:09 (59:04-05 on the in-video timer) has a pretty severe audio edit... almost like it wasn't actually a sentence originally spoken. That's the only thing I noticed though.

Nice work.

Yep, just found that myself. I will smooth that out before the final render.
