That Was Fast


Spent significant time locating assets, relinking shit, and then exporting the trailer for Bounty. Here it is, go give it a thumbs up, would you?

If you've seen the original copy that's on Youtube, it never goes full screen for some reason.

I had JUST done this blog post yesterday about it:

Then I check my email late tonight and have this(I replaced their name with COMPANY so it doesn't get hit here on the search engines):

Congratulations. The video, metadata, artwork & language assets for [Bounty] have now passed COMPANYs extensive QC (quality control) and the film is now “available” to the VOD outlet partners & territories you selected.

This means VOD outlets will be able to watch the trailer, preview the main video, read the sales pitch and film description, and review the festivals, press articles and other information you entered.

On this basis they make their SELECT or DECLINE decision about your film. COMPANY does not control the timeline in which they make this decision – it can take several weeks or longer. You will be able to track which outlets have selected your film whenever you click on the Outlets tab at the top of your film record.

If an outlet selects your film, we immediately trigger the custom transcode, metadata & image authoring and final asset delivery. On successful delivery, the outlet itself have their own QC & Approval process which can also take several weeks.

We will notify you via email when your film goes LIVE on any outlet, along with a list of Marketing Steps you should use to promote your film.


So there's that. I guess the true experiment starts now. I already have the flick waiting on Amazon for me to make it available to the public. It's been uploaded and all.

I've uploaded HH but they gave me a very weird email about it. Will post that later. Just figured I'd post this update while it's fresh on my mind.
