You are good, got you on the list.

Yes. A lot of people want these for wall art, to have a video to represent each game that they have, so in the standard set we want to put 1 or 2 videos for each game.

On all of the sets we are planning on having a location that you can go to view all of the videos, and then another location that you can go to download all of the videos.

Charging the $19.99 for a premium set gives us a bit of money to reinvest and make better videos for a game. You will get a premium set for each fan that you purchase. We will have all orders on a spreadsheet, so if you order the fan now, but either I don't have the premium set you want done yet, or want to get the Hologram LED fan and play with it a bit before you get the premium set, that is fine. Just email us, and we will send you the link to the premium set. My gal that does email is part time.

As I get more videos for a game, I will move some videos from the standard section to a premium section. Simpsons would be an example, we have 6 or more videos in the standard section, when I get more videos together I will take a couple of videos from the standard area and put them in the premium area.

I will be adding videos to the standard section to make that area bigger and bigger.

Yes, I have a few done to match that theme. I have 3 different gorillas, 2 diamonds and we will be making the plane, but the plane won't be done for a while.

I don't have that game, so I don't know the exact graphics but judging from the movie, we may also have some generic videos that will match that game well, such as torches, a satellite dish and a waterfall. We have had some requests for jungle scenes, and hope to have those in a few months.

Those will all be in the standard area.

Thank you for the positive feedback.

We just got a 100% working prototype for the wall mount shield, so we are ordering materials for that now. We plan on showing the wall mount in the installation video.

We have not done the 7' 6" height prototype yet, but we don't think that will be an issue, but I will update when we have one done. That is probably as low as a topper will go.

Our space area has about 50 videos, a few of the Earth, a few of space, a few of galaxies, a few of rockets, and 4 or 5 of the space shuttle. I don't think the space shuttles are going to be in the first round of videos we post, but they will be in the first round of downloadable videos.

You would be amazed how much feedback we got from people that want videos for games made prior to 1990. For the most part it was not cost effective for people to make toppers for games of that age. For us, it works. We know if we make 5 space shuttle videos, we will capture the people that love that game, plus it adds to our catalog of space videos. The more and more videos we make, the more and more games these will work on.

We have over 700 videos done, getting them from done to posted is being quite a challenge.

My biggest priority is to get the basic set catalog visible.

The Star Wars set is done, and it has 25 videos, including the holographic Leia. It will be one of the first premium sets we post. The 25 Star Wars videos are not included in the 50 space videos mentioned above.

Everything takes longer then hoped.

We do have all materials here and units are being produced now.

We have been working on these for a while. We just got these tonight.

Here is some Iron Maiden premium. I videoed a few like I have been.

I also videoed one with the shutter speed at standard speed. You can see the brightness, but because of the shutter speed, you see fan distortion that you do not see live.

Also a full size video with a slower shutter speed, which makes everything darker.

In my opinion, the best Iron Maiden topper on the market.

I will get pilot lined up better on final version.

Feedback?

Yes, I got you.

I am not sure of your question. This does not effect the sound of the game, and it makes about the same amount of noise as a table fan.

No, it is pretty quite. Before we showed them at a show, people were talking about information that they were not aware of. It is pretty close to the sound level of a ceiling fan. I bet someone that was at the shows gave feedback of the sound level on this thread. If you read feedback from people that saw these at shows, it is all very good.

We are starting to upload the basic set of videos on youtube today, I will post the link when I get a good quantity of videos posted. I expect it will take a few days to upload the entire basic set.

We are also planning on working on the shorter stand to work in 7' 6" ceilings today.

The stand for this to fit in a 7' 6" ceiling does not work. It causes cavitation because so much of the black glass is so close behind the fan blade.

double post

you could fit in 7' 10"

Got you

Not at this time, let me explain.

In the basic set that you get will have 1 or 2 for many games. When a new game comes out, I will add a video or 2 to the basic set for that game, so the basic set will always be growing.

Toy Story is a game that is expected to be released, so I will use it as an example. I will make a few videos for that game, and those few will go into the basic set. When I get enough content to make a premium selection, I will make a premium selection for that game, but I will leave a few Toy Story videos in the basic set. The basic set will always be growing. That is mainly for the wall art category.

Also as I get more feedback, I will add more content to the basic set, as well as make more premium selections.

Our original intent was to do what you are asking, but we were told point blank from some people that they intended to take all of our video work and distribute it. It does take us a fair amount of time and investment to make a set, and we wanted a program that was good for the end user, as well as work for us. That is why we have the format we have now. At $19.99 for a premium set, we are hoping that is a high enough price to protect our work, yet a low enough price that if someone wants to change the topper from one game to another, they feel it was a good deal. If we see a need to change the format in the future, we will do that.

Also, we won't be selling the videos, we will be selling the location on the web the videos are. All videos we be out in a public area, so if a holder of Intellectual Property does feel that their work may have been violated, they will be able to have them removed. Of course much of our work in original.

The idea of having a file swapping area was the original plan, like Pinsound. But, we want to limit our exposure on copy right issues and we could not find a solution doing a file swapping situation that would keep us insulated.

We talked with an IP attorney while we were working on this project, and he said if the files are available to the public, and an IP holder has an avenue to delete a file if they felt their IP was violated, that would give us a high level of protection. So keeping this in mind, this is the process we have come up with:

When you purchase a Hologram LED fan, you will get a password for a password protected section to our website. That section will have the manuals, software information and links to the basic videos on youtube. For the premium files you will also get the location of a youtube account that has the specific videos from that one game. All premium files will be on different youtube accounts.

Nearly every video we have is made from scratch, a few exceptions are, Batman 66 intro, Twilight Zone intros, The Simpsons intro, and Mr. DNA from Jurassic Park. On those videos we have cropped and colored them to work the best for the toppers, but those videos are all over youtube, so I don't think they will ever be a copyright issue.

We don't sell you the videos, we sell you the locations of those videos. We have made many of them, so we do own the rights on many of them, so others won't be able to take our videos and resell them. We don't want to get caught up in selling any copyright content in anyway.

These issues are some things that have been delaying us slightly.

The youtube link I hope to post on here in a few days are videos of the videos on the fans. Those will give a good idea of what you are getting, but won't work on the fans. For every video we have had to make 3 versions of it, one for youtube for customers to view, one for youtube for customers to download, and a third is a version that works on the fan. It is pretty time consuming.

We are still close to our timeline of shipping in about 10 days. Finishing the password protected area will probably take a few more days and we plan on getting that finished during shipping time.

Yes, that would work on a game that is not Sega or Gottlieb. Those game are a bit taller then most others.

No, it will probably be over a month for Stern Star Trek, but we do get requests, and I will do it. I will probably put all 3 of the Star Treks together, because I have problems telling all of the Star Treks apart.

I know we have an Enterprise from the original TV series, and we have an Enterprise for The Next Generation.

Yes, I understand completely, that is why I don't have Star Trek on my to do list yet. I need to take a close look at the game and get a list of stuff I can do for it.

Thank you, got you on the list.

Good ideas, please expand on your thoughts. I am trying hard not to step on any manufacturer toes, so I probably won't do the logos. When you say arrows left and right, you are talking about insert lights from the play field?

I am planning on doing an assortment of game room themes, like pool and darts and such. I got a real good collection for the NFL, but I am a bit concerned about doing those also.

Please give me more feedback for game room ideas.

The limitation of only being about to upload 50 videos a day on youtube put us behind schedule. Once I get the majority of videos up that you can view, I will start sending payment request emails to everyone on the preoreder list, I am shooting for late next week to start contacting people.

I will also put that youtube link on this thread.

I have finally made a video of all of the videos on the fan. Chuck is in the shop working on getting packages together. Next week I will do the install videos.

We will work on Stern Star Trek to get a premium set with our other 21 premium sets, should be ready within 40 days.

Got you on the list. I had a few requests for the Star Wars set, so here it is. Their is a possibility that I have a few other Star Wars videos I am working on, but no promises.

It has 25 clips and is eight minutes long. Of course you will be able to put the videos you want in the order you want.

Also we provided software, you could make your own clips from the movies.
