Halloween is coming up, which is a day that we have done some serious filming on every single fuckin year -well before we even formed WS. Seriously...for the past 8 years now we have done kickass filming every Halloween. It's simply the best day of the year for filming.

Doesn't look like any of the guys are down to film this year though. Before it didnt matter what else was going on, Halloween was always reserved for filming. But now they got other shit planned this year...more important shit.

Which brings me to my point.... I have about 30 minutes of killer DVD footag.... and then about 150 hours of unusable random shit.

I dont have enough to do a DVD...and if I use anymore of this 'solo footage' shit ...it's really gonna start to change the whole direction of the DVD.

- - - - - - - -

So yep.... I made 1 last effort to see if there is any hope. I contacted a few of the originals...who I havent spoken with in years due to them being bitter about shit going bad back in the early days of filming. None of them are down, just as I had assumed.

There's no way I'll release anything that I'm not 100% confident in and proud of....and I'll never reach that point unless I get another 20 minutes of killer footage.

What makes all of this even more gay is the fact that I'm finally at a point where I can afford to fund all the crazy fucking shit I had always wanted to do for this video.

Fucking gay.

nope...the stuff in the old WS vids is considered dvd worthy.

Thats 30 minutes of good shit was pulled from the 150 hours of random bullshit. I'd post an example of the unusable random bullshit but I dont even have any of it uploaded to my comp really.

ah I see. im intrested in seeing what the unusable shit is, I have lots of unuseable footage but thats only because its filler to me and I have stuff 10times better but filler is always good to have if you need some kind of break between killer footage even if its just a really artistic edit to music using random scenes ya know.

but good luck on filming the rest of the dvd, maybe some interviews with crackheads & mexicans? might space it out some.

You will get your 20 mins soon, like Kane said. But, it sucks. No hope, with filming this Halloween yet?

I doesnt work that way Matt. I dont film stunts. The stuff I film isnt stuff you plan and do.

I dont go out to film. I just go out and do whatever I wanna do and I just bring the camera along with me. Whatever happens...happens.

It's just something I do with friends. Meeting up with other groups wouldnt get me the footage I'm looking for..

You mean FA he Video? Man where did those guys even go? Anyway...I want this DVD to be 100% of stuff I filmed myself.

If I was gonna use other peoples footage though I'd definitely wanna use some of Yates fight clips. He has some good shit.

edit: wow...no one has posted in this thread in a day or 2 and right when I go to bump it mako beats me to it by 3 minutes haha. Random.

Yeah doesnt look there will be any Halloween filming this year.

What sucks dick is I honestly think I could get this video seen all over the place and with the help of myspace and a distribution deal I think the video could develope a following and shit....but it wont happen with my current lack of a crew.

Yeah man, you are right, its so easy to pull out something in this era, with all the ways to promote it. u have a big part of the road taken.. u just need to finish it.

I cant say you anything, except.. wait, if the wait its too long.. you will need to start taking more risks than ever. know what I mean?
