the muppets sections the best on HGC


Dan G > Muppets


I used to think so as well yates, until I found out some startling new about Dan G.

All his stunts are performed by korean imigrants and he super imposes his face onto them.

I know you may need a few minuts to let this soak in.

shut up man. thats secrets

Well done Muppets. How come they only wanted the one clip out of the whole DVD?


they pitched several stories from the homerown dvd. when they pitch a story and video, they need the producers to review it, then assistants review it and see the potential, etcetera, it can take up to a week if they are busy. the producers saw the muppets fire clip and right away they knew they wanted to air it. getting some footage sold won't be so easy.

+ they are dealing with footage from all over the world, news stations all over the world and when you have that kind of access you have a ton of amazing content you probably can't even use due to not having enough time in a season. so the hgc footage is competing with a lot of insane footage from all over the world and getting deals won't be easy but if the footage is good and there's some kind of story behind it, it has potential to be bought.

which groups on here are submitting footage for the homegrown collection 2 & 3 DVD? I have a semi-list established so far but if groups can confirm they'll be sending out footage in about 2 weeks, that would be great. if you want to get in the dvd, email me at [email address redacted]


How much footage would we have to give? and we do own all rights too the footage still yeah?

email me your questions. but yes, u own the rights, and the more footage u send, the more money will will make. also, if groups are sending me videos, I don't want any groups not sending their best footage. if you want to be in the hgc dvd then send me your best stuff, don't save it for your solo dvd. muppets sent me their best footage, all of it from I understand and they are now getting tv deals, cell phone video will make them nice money, and plus they have what some people call the best section on the dvd. so please don't don't hold out your best footage if u plan on submitting footage, it'll only hurt you in the end and things won't be as good as they could have been.

you guys mainly sell dvds to each other and most groups probably don't sell 100 dvds of one title. at least that is what it sounds like from what about what you guys write that do release dvds.

here u have a dvd that will be in stores and probably on commercials in the next several months, it will sell tens of thousands of copies potentially. this is a grander audience and we need the best footage possible.

To be honest Moody, most of the groups in that DVD could release their own DVD.
Muppets are a good example, if they get this attention from some small poorly editied (from what I've heard) mixup, think what they could acheive on their own with decent editing and all their own footage.
You've proved yourself its not exactly hard to put out a DVD and I'm sure many groups could do it. When Generate Damage is released I don't wanna settle selling a few copies on these forums.

I dont think u give the dvd enough credit and the things you've heard are different from what I've heard. u and a few othes say "poorly edited" but I personally disagree. the dvd was edited a certain style to keep the footage authentic. it wouldn't have been as cool with all these extreme color changes and crazy effects because I wanted the footage to feel as real as possible and it has that effect on the viewers.

releasing a dvd and selling 50 copies isn't hard, but getting distribution, box art, dvd art, packaging, graphics, music rights, sound effect rights, acquiring all the content and legal rights, fully edit, design a dvd menu, advertise and promote + more takes a lot of time, money and effort. don't underestimate the process of completing and releasing a DVD on a professional level + I've been doing this for 6 years so I didn't prove this to myself witht the homegrown colleciton. I proved this to myself a long time ago.

and for solo dvds, I'm actually producing a bunch of solo dvds right now such as luke hadley, trailer park mafia, dex and funk master, another homegrown group that doesn't post on this board, and 2 big name groups that don't post on this board that you ALL most likely have seen on TV before or at least heard of.

if you want a solo dvd of your group produced on a professional level, I will do it for you and get you plenty of complimentary copies for you to sell yourself. of course I can't do this for EVERY group but if a group has enough footage good quality footage, we can make it happen.

I will also consider linking up distribution deals for all fully completed DVDs that groups have finished but the music needs to my legal to use. we can make changes, but I can get finished dvds distributed as well.

I just rather have my editors handle the productions and that way we can also cross promte your footage in the homegrown collection dvd with the footage in your solo dvd.

Out of that list I could easily take care of box art, packaging, graphics, dvd menus, editing. I would already own the rights to my footage so that would not be a problem, I already have a couple bands sign music releases so thats sorted...The only thing that I haven't looked into is distribution due to the early stages of the project but I have a few places in mind.

I don't underestimate the effort that goes into making a DVD, I'm just saying many other groups could pull it off.

I dont underestimate groups pullnig it of either. it's possible to complete but it takes time. seriously, I know this one guy that does byw and stunts and I've been talking to him for probably around 4 + years not trying to distribute his productions but he doesn't want them distributed until they are all finished. the guy has been trying to finish these 2 dvds for only god knows how long. it's ridiculous.

if I handle the editing, we can set up a realistic deadline, the groups can be in touch with the editor and suggest ideas and stylizing and I can supply my music library and you can choose songs. pretty much I can just make things simpler for everybody and get it distributed and advertised.

You do talk sence, but moody, one thing I would do this time is make sure each group is happy with their section and cut the delays ;)

It's not ridiculous, it's taking time and effort into perfecting something. I wanna perfect our DVD too, hence why it will take time. If I aimed to finish it in 3 months it'd be shit.

hours on a 1 second clip is overkill. I have editors that know the editing programs like the back of their hand so they can edit fairly quick and good quality. they are fast and experienced.

every production will have delays, just some productions are harder hit with delays than others. there's was circumstances with waiting for footage and the holidays and blurring that delayed things. none of that will be a problem this time.

Even if you know the programme very well, it can still take hours too edit a video, at least.

All depends on the footage, and mainly the song.

2 shows on spike tv, one show is Worlds Most Amazing Videos, some company that does cell phones and has connections to television shows mainly in Spain but elsewhere in Europe.

as you'll see with leroy's experience and experienes I've heard of from people that have dealt with companies like best of byw, be very careful when dealing with tv shows and dvds. with the tv shows ill handle all the paperwork for you. you just get me the footage and when the deal is closed we'll get the money sent via wire or check.

one of my entertainment lawyer are involved in the negotiations process so it's not like any of these tv shows will try to play games and try to fuck anybody over. as long as your footage is in the hgc dvds, I'll represent your footage through my lawyers to the tv shows for you for free, you keep all that money. but if I make u a lot of money, u can buy me a new camera or something like that. :wink2:

being sent out on thursday or friday with the next shipments.

the accident backed up everything by at least 2 days.

an entertainment lawyer approached me today about producing a new tv show involving homegrown groups so ill post about this soon but I need to talk with them more about details. I should know more tomorrow about what they envision.
