What he said.

Well, the second part. I'd be really interested to know. In the future, I may come to toy with the idea of selling brickfilm DVDs so I'd be interested to see how you get along with it. Just say if we're being too nosey.

"Nothing goes down 'less I'm involved. No nuggets. No onion rings. No nothin'. A cheeseburger gets sold in the park, I want in! You got fat while we starved on the streets...now it's my turn!" -Harley Morenstein

Oh boy!  A month all for me!

Why does this have to be April though?  Is this a joke or something?  I legitimately can't tell.

Michael genuinely wants to help autistic kids.  He's a good guy and wouldn't joke about something like this.

Yeah, today is the first day of Autism Awareness month.  You can probably look it up on some calendar website or something.

I only sold 7 Episode 1 DVDs and gave 2 away as promos, mostly not to BiM members.  4 of the 7 were sold at LegoPallooza.  I do want you all to know that I go all out on the DVDs, loading them with special features not seen on the video sites, because I truly want whoever actually goes out of their way to buy my art to have an enjoyable experience.

I understand.  No hard feelings.

Seems like a good idea! I know some who are affected by Autism, and it can be hard at times! I honestly wouldn't mind buying one!

If this was really an April Fool's joke, it would be the stupidest one ever.  I'm actually surprised that people would think I'd joke like that. 

Actually, there's very little to do except the image gallery & processing my part of the voice for the commentary track and inserting it, then running a few tests to make sure everything's right.  I actually menat to have this finished long ago.  Because I've been sick several times throughout almost the entire winter, I wasn't able to record the commentary.  Brick 7 does an excellent job on the commentary track and our commentaries are together on a single track.

Squid: I don't know why April was chosen as Autism Awareness Month.

The DVD art is etched into the disc; not just a regular spindle disc with the title written in marker.

Juggarnaut, Some people, like myself, like DVDS.  It's nice to have an actual tangible medium sometimes.  My band, Tinnitis, even recorded a song called "I Love DVDs."

Where are you selling these and what is your average audience age that is/has bought your product?

What makes your product more different or better than others such as Nightly News at Nine?

What is your estimated sales within the next 6 months?

The prototype is complete and there are few adjustments that need to be made.  The DVD will be available for purchase tomorrow.  (Monday 4/14)  Anyone who voiced a character in episode 3, main or supporting, may order one DVD at no cost.  I will even donate $1 to NJ Faces of Autism for DVDs that are sent free to the voice talent.

If you would order a DVD in April, $1 from the sale will go to autism support.  YOu may contact me at holdingourown "at" ymail "dot" com and I will send ordering information.
