News from the top
Hi everyone, sorry for the silence but we've been working on finishing the film rather than checking the forums!
Basically the film is very nearly done. We have hit a slight delay as the graphics side of the film is taking longer than expected, although this has not been helped by a lack of response when we sent out a mailshot for logos. This could well be something any of you might be able to help with so for you info we require high resolution team logos for the following teams:
Joy Division
Russian Legion
UK Storm
UK Jaguars
Manchester Shockwave
Evil Sharks
Just Red
Draxxus Factory
Philly's Finest
If anyone can please get a hold of the graphics or direct someone who has them to me ASAP this would be much appreciated.
My email is
info@pressuredvd.co.uk, please pass it on.
As for the film itself I can reveal the following:
- The official title of the film is "Pressure: The Russian Campaign"
- It will be approx. 90min in length
- It features 11 game montages and finals with highlights from another 4-5 games form both Xball competitions
- Some of the games featured are:
Russian Legion vs American Allstars
Russian Legion vs Stockholm Ignition
London Tigers vs London Nexus
London Tigers vs Joy Division
Russian Legion vs Joy Division EXL Final
Draxxus Factory (Baltimore Trauma) vs Philly's Finest (Philadelphia Americans) Open Xball Final
- Special features include a 7 Man montage from the few games we managed to film including Fat Ladies Charms and champions Consilleum Dei. Also there is a Playback section where Stockholm Ignition analyse footage of their game vs the Russians and discuss what went right and what went wrong.
- The soundtrack contains 15 top quality new tracks by unsigned bands from all over Europe.
- Graphics include full 3D pitch guides, 3D schedule summaries and high resolution team and score graphics
I reckon as long as the graphics do not delay things further, we should be finished in the next two weeks. It then needs printing but in the meantime review copies will be despatched to all magazines and also one to you Andy so you can review it for this for review. Just don't BitTorrent it right!
Please everyone remember that we have a very small team for this. I would love to have the manpower of the bigger companies but we don't. Whatever we do next will be edited much faster- a lot of the delays on this one were down to business matters outside of paintball, such as splitting Pressure from High Tide Productions, that have caused unwanted delays.
As a side note, there is a second Pressure title coming out that has been made in conjunction with WDP and their NPPL footage. This is being finished as I write and will be out in the next few weeks also. I can't give too many details here as they are still being finalised but suffice to say its a budget title, 45min long and is the most honest, funny, raw and exciting blast of paintball lifestyle action thats ever been committed to DVD. But then I would say that...
So busy times for Pressure. More news when I have it- now where did I put Windows Moviemaker again....
