Well, however you want to do them is up to you. Whatever you feel is best.

Just as long as you don't JUST show them at the con.

Some of us don't make it to cons often, or at all, and would still like to see them. Some form of online distribution would be great. Either via something like Veoh or bittorrent, or better yet both!

Wow. I just stumbled across this post at random looking for something else, but- what an amazing coincidence.

Last year, I had talked to Alan (from Pinesalad) and he gave me the go-ahead to remaster your parodies from DVD source. I just finished up Does Dishes yesterday, and I'm almost done with Revenge of BD. I hope to start Fistfull of Pasta soon, but there's been a delay in getting the Japanese DVD to use for source.

Our audio came from the cleanest copy we could track down, which we think was 3rd generation from your master. We then cleaned it up in Soundbooth to remove clicks, pops, and excessive tape hiss. We used the 1991 remastered version of the parodies for all the audio, except the balloon scene in Revenge- the dialogue was drowned out by the music in the remaster, so we used the 1988 version for that scene, used Soundbooth to pull out the David Bowie song and overlaid Beautiful Balloon at a more balanced level. We also pulled out that annoying high-pitched screech at the beginning of Revenge, but I left in the sharp snaps in Dishes (you know- the ones that sound like billiard balls clacking together) because I didn't know if they were purposeful or not.

And oh yeah, we did put the video glitch back in.

To answer your questions- The episodes you dubbed were TV 25 (What? The boy in the Mansion is a Terminator?) TV 26 (Seriously?! The God Cannon is a Beauty's Keyword to Escape) OVA 5 (And Then No One Played) and OVA 6 (What? A Suprise Seaside Wedding Panic) The TV episodes are not available in the US, and the DVD is out of print in Japan. It is available used several places. The OVAs have been released here, but ADV improperly deinterlaced them, making them all ghosty and ucky. The japanese DVD of the OVAs is also out of print.

And if it does make you feel better, I'm told your work gets played annually at FanimeCon.

Kurt, if you'd like me to send you a copy of the DVD when its done or have me pass along Alan's email address, just PM me (I assume Tribe has some capacity for PMs...) No other inquiries please! All I can say is that when the remasters are finished we will find some way to distro them. When I have release info, I'll post it here.
