So I thought I had made a thread about it, but I guess I just told people I'm close with.
There will not be an All Balls Video DVD.
Before I get thrown into the stereotypical pile of groups who hype DVDs, don't make them, and then disappear forever, give me a second to explain everything.
I have made several attempts at editing the movie, as well as different approaches. In the end, I just can't produce something I'm proud to put my name on and spend money to produce and release. Some of the stunt and skating footage I have is top-notch, but at the same time there are a lot of things that fall short, and I'm not willing to put out a movie that isn't gold from top to bottom. Whenever I originally started filming, it was just for my friends and I to watch over and over to remember the good times we had. A majority of the footage that is priceless to me and my friends isn't always necessarily material other viewers want to see, and so I have come to a conclusion that should leave everyone happy in the end.
At the moment I'm trying to get a simple new website up (see other thread) so that I can release clips constantly; all the footage I've ever filmed. Some posts will obviously not be grade A footage, but nonetheless something enjoyable. Doing this will more than likely bring in more revenue than DVD sales would have (MTV has emailed me about purchasing some whack ass clips I had online before), as well as bringing a wider viewership to our videos.
Sorry to anyone who was actually looking forward to a DVD, but hey, you'll see all the footage eventually anyway.
