"Official" AMV Creators CD Distro?

This forum is for the general discussion of Anime Music Videos.

Charging for services rendered = bad.

Tipping is welcome though.

As for DDR, I've actually mentioned it to Hsien and he's cool with it but I'd need to talk to Brad too. It should be fine.

Next thing to do is to make the website :)

I don't think Brad would care. He basically handed off distro to Quu and I (Quu does VHS/SVHS SASE). I wouldn't mind at all if you guys took it off my hands...I normally have to take 2 or 3 long lunches a week to go to the post office and send/receive the SASE packages (yes, I even have to go to the PO to receive because I have a tiny apartment mailbox). I get 10-20 DDR inquiry emails a week, and I tend to only answer them in spurts, so my turnaround time is kind of sluggish.

I was actually about to ask if you guys wanted the DDR Project (since the way you're doing it is pretty much exactly the way I distro it) when I saw someone mention it. I've been away for the weekend :)
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

Well before this thread fully dies I'm going to go ahead and start taking in CDs from anyone who wants to have their work distributed. If you are a creator then shoot me an email at red_wolf@mac.com and I'll give you an address and information for mailing your CD(s) to me.

If you handed out a CD out at AWA let me know, I may already have a copy of it.

Remember if you only have a few videos feel free to get together with another creator or two and submit a compilation CD.

If you have an AMV related CD

I will not be taking requested from people wanting copies of CDs at this time so don't email me unless you have a CD to submit at this time. I will make a very public announcement when I'm ready to take CD requests so just be patient while I get a collection of CDs gathered and catalog.[/b]

It didn't let me finish :P

As I was typing, if you have an AMV related CD (ie the anime con docs) feel free to let me know and we'll see if it is something we can add to the system.

I think you have one of mine allready, but I can send you a VCD with two videos that were not on the original version I sent you. Same address?

Yeah, same address. Make sure you include Red Wolf Studio on it so I can tell is apart :P

I'm going to pester all of the submitters to the compilation CD to see if they would mind if I added the compilation CD to the mix.

I'll eventually send in some videos to you, Red Wolf. Just email me your address (I had it on the envelope from the AWA Comp. CDs, but I threw the envelope out, ahaha). Oh yeah, and I don't mind if you put in my video from the Comp. CD, but I'd wrather you not since I'll be remastering it between now and Christmas.

No problem, will email you tomorrow (have email difficulties right now).

Tell ya what, by December I'll be long out of the original compilation CD sets so when you remaster the video send it to me and I'll "adjust" the compilation CD accordingly. That way the CD set can still go out and when you have a new version out it'll be updated. How's that sound?

In regard to other mirrors.
Consider a fictitious Australian AMV creator let's call them, Sammy sends in a CD. Would I...

1) Send a copy to every other distro (US, Europe, Canada, Africa, Asia, South America, Antarctica it could happen) Costly and complicated as far as postage goes.

2) Send a copy to a primary distributor (Red Wolf for example), then other distributors can get it from them.

3) Add the CD to the database. Wait until a particular mirror gets a request. Then send them the CD.

4) Or something much more complicated that I can't think of right now.

My suggestion was simply because I've seen alot of "FREE" stuff go by the wayside do to overdemand... :lol:

Oh well if you guys think you can handle it go for it.

Well I would have to find a way to get some kind of money out of this (not for profit but, to break even) I can only imagine the costs of sending a DVDR to Red Wolf every week along with a note: "OK, what's new this time around"

An idea might be paid membership (we can charge people for that). Make it relatively cheap, but enough to lose the "Black Hole" effect the word FREE generates.

Mirror Distros: First let me say there are no plans to set up mirrors right now aside from my site and AD's site. I can't say for certain but I would think when and if we needed mirrors setting up mirror distros would eventually work something like this. Since the majority of CDs will be submitted to the first distro by the time we started up mirror distros and initial package of every CD would be sent to the mirror. Shipping costs would be something that would need to be worked out. Updates between the mirror and U.S. distro could then take place on a regular basis, perhaps ever 3 to 6 months depending on shipping costs.

Money: AD said it best a few posts ago:

Tipping is welcome though.

That's fine, Red Wolf. Thanks.

Just to throw something into the air...... what about using PayPal.com along side of SASE ???

It would definitely save time. :D
