NEWS FROM THE CUTTING ROOM:EDITING THE RIT DVD


I MET A CAMERA OPERATOR AT THE FIRST ARNHEM CONCERT AND WE KEPT IN TOUCH UNTILL NOW. HE CALLED ME YESTERDAY AND GAVE ME GREAT NEWS FROM THE CUTTING ROOM IN JONAS' PRODUCTION COMPANY!

FIRST OF ALL, IT WILL BE A SPRING RELEASE. THE EDITING PROCESS STARTED AT LATE OCTOBER AND POST-PRODUCTION/ MASTERING WILL BE MADE DURING XMAS SEASON. ALSO, NEXUS INC. WILL PROVIDE THE DVD COVER AND MENU DESIGN ALTHOUGH JONAS COM HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED AN ADDITIONAL AUTHORING STRUCTURE.

IT WILL BE A SINGLE DISC HD DUAL-LAYER RELEASE (ALTHOUGH THE FIRST PLAN WAS TO RELEASE A DOUBLE DISC WITH THE EXTRA FOOTAGE PACKED IN A SINGLE LAYER DISC).


THE CONCERT:


IT WAS SHOT IN HD (WHICH STANDS FOR hIGH DEFINITION) DIGIBETA AND THE FOOTAGE WAS CAPTURED OFF-LINE VIA DECKLINK HD 60P NATIVE CARDS (FOR ACTUAL NO LOSS OF PICTURE QUALITY) FOR LATER DIGITAL TRANSFER IN HD DVD FORMAT (1024x768 INSTEAD OF 720X480-NTSC FORMAT). IT'S ACTUALLY GONNA BE THE FIRST-EVER HD MUSIC DVD RELEASE!!!

THE SOUND DESIGN INCLUDES: DOLBY 6.1 EX, DTS 6.1 ES, DOLBY 2.0 SOUNDTRACKS (ONLY A FEW MUSIC TITLES FEATURE THOSE DYNAMIC SURROUND FORMATS) SIMULATING PERFECTLY THE LIVE VIBE OF THE ARENA.


THE LONG-AWAITED EXTRAS:

THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THE EXTRAS THAT WILL BE INCLUDED ON THE DVD BUT THERE ARE SOME CERTAIN STUFF:

1."MAKING-OF" DOCUMENTARY:
INCLUDES SHOTS OF MADONNA AND CREW MEMBERS DISCUSSING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF EACH CONCEPT OF THE WHOLE TOUR, TRACKLIST BRAINSTORMING, TOUR DANCERS REHEARSALS, PRODUCTION NOTES, INTERVIEWS WITH THE SOUND AND STAGE CREW, EARLY DRAFTS, ETC.

2.TRAVELLING WITH MADONNA:
THAT IS A VERY SMART WAY OF TRAVELLING WITH MADONNA IN ALMOST EVERY VENUE AS AN INTERACTIVE WORLD MAP ROLLS ON SCEEN AND YOU COULD SEE FOOTAGE TAKEN FROM SEVERAL COUNTRIES (NOT ENTIRE CONCERTS, OF COURSE) BY CLICKING ON THE COUNTRY ICON YOU'RE INTERESTED IN.

3.MULTIPLE ANGLES SCREEN VISUALS
THIS AMAZING FEATURE WILL LET PEOPLE VIEW ALL (! SCREEN VISUALS OF THE SHOW BY CLICKING A SMALL ICON IN THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN DURING EACH CHAPTER/TRACK. THE AUDIO WILL REMAIN THE SAME AS THE CONCERT'S SO YOU COULD GO BACK TO THE LIVE VERSION ANYTIME. ALL 5-SCREENS WILL BE ICLUDED IN ONE.

4.YOU CAN BE THE EDITOR:
THERE'S ALSO A POSSIBILITY OF MULTI-ANGLE FOOTAGE OF SOME SONGS FEATURING VIEWS FROM THE CROWD, STAGE AND CATWALK FOR THE VIEWER TO CHOOSE BUT IT'S NOT YET DECIDED.


ALL THIS INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE OF COURSE AND SOME OF IT IS JUST PLANS THEY MADE BUT THEY HAVEN'T DECIDED YET. HOWEVER, THE TECHNICAL PART ABOUT THE CONCERT IS MORE THAN SURE SINCE HE'S ONE OF THE ENGINEERS INVOLVED IN THE MASTERING PROCESS.

IT ALL SEEMS THAT IT WILL BE A GLORIOUS MADONNA RELEASE, NOTHING LIKE ALL THE PREVIOUS ONES.

FOR THOSE, WHO HAVE INTERESTING QUESTIONS PLEASE, PLACE THEM HERE. FOR THOSE WHO DOUBT ME, I WON'T EVEN BOTHER REPLYING.


P.S. I ALREADY ASKED HIM ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY BUT, UNFORTUNATELY HE SAYS THERE'S NOTHING YET REVEALED AS HE'S NOT A MEMBER OF THE OIL FACTORY (JONAS' COMPANY) EDITING CREW. HE JUST TOLD ME THAT JONAS MADE THE FIRST DRAFT HIMSELF WITH MADONNA IN HIS STUDIO IN ORDER TO PREVIEW ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS. HE HAS ALREADY CUT OUT MILES OF DIGITAL TAPES AS HE USED TO EDIT EVERY NIGHT AFTER EACH SHOW IN HIS LAPTOP. I HOPE THEY WON'T END UP IN A BIN!
