No Respite Productions

Hello!

So probably the 2nd to last post on Chavular before the actual film release online (13th April) and then after that I will be focusing 100% on Ring of Death - our new production.

The Chavular launch party takes place on Monday at the same time as the film is released online. This in reality is just a small gathering with some friends where we'll be providing food and of course, entertainment in the form of the Chavular film.

I figured it would be quite nice to build a presentation around the film, so I got cracking on making a DVD using Sony DVD Architect (which I received in addition to Sony Vegas). The DVD creation was fairly easy, although I had to once again re-render Chavular into the MPEG-II format which allowed for true 16:9 widescreen on the DVD.

I built the menu options and added in bonus content (my previous work) without much drama. But I figured I wanted something quite dark and menacing to play over the main menu screen. So I knocked up the following in Vegas and I think it works quite well.

Check out the YouTube video below ;)

It never occured me to use Vegas in tandem with my DVD authoring software to create a more polished and professional DVD. But well worth considering if you ever wanted to compile your movies to show your friends. You never know... they may even ask for a copy.

And I'll have a few ready, especially for the cast, on the offchance that they want one!
