GERALD'S LAST DAY is OUT ON DVD!!!


Our short stop mo film, Gerald's Last Day, had a great Festival run, it won 23 awards at over 90 festivals World Wide and we had excellent adventures riding along.


So as the festival circuit winds down, we are super excited to put out the DVDs with over an hour of SPECIAL FEATURES on The Making Of. If you are curious about how one goes about making a Stop Motion film in their garage, it's all here, from the Baby Beginings of learning the process of stop mo to Justin's Animation process to the Glorious Scoring session.


Here's some SCREEN SHOTS:




WHEW!

For those of you who have been patiently waiting....THANK YOU!!!



It was very fulfilling to finally finish the Special Features.


And then to finally figure out how to get the movie and the special features onto actual DVDs! We won a copy of Vegas Pro 9.0 at a film festival, so we thought it'd be pretty easy to make our DVDs with it, but it turns out you need either a Doctorate, or a clever push-buttons-till-something-happens guy like Justin around to make it happen. (I'll take the later anyday!)

If you'd like to buy a copy, they are $11. each plus $3 shipping and handling, just click on the BUY NOW button at the top right corner of this page.


YAY!!!

Finaaaallly!!!!! Buying as I type this (if that's even possible!)

I dont know if this might sound weird but I think the only way I can say it is that I am sooooo proud of you guys.

I was talking to a animator from the clone wars series the other day and saying how much influence and respect you guys I have for you, He said that if you can have that effect on someone and I would of thought on most of the stop motion community, you guys will most definitely go far and I think he's right.

I Can only imagine what the finished version of Your new film will be like.

That is great work guys. I have been following your films for awhile now. I am also a stopmtion animator up in San Francisco and currently working on a short up here with a crew.

But to pay the bills I work at a Dub house and have gotten really good at DVD authoring. If you are ever in need of help creating a cool looking DVD for any of your new projects let me know. I would love to be able to help you out.

Hi, I'm interested in one copy of gerald´s last day. Could you tell me if can you deliver it to Brazil (South America)? How much its shipping would cost me? My zipcode is 17015-970.
By the way i love your job.

Hi, I just purchased a copy of the DVD. I remember seeing this on a plane and cried and cried. What a wonderful way to share this story. I think it would be great if you offered a discount to non-profit animal shelters. They should use this for their humane education classes. I'm going to donate my copy to our local humane society when I'm done watching it again. Thanks for the great work!
