Quoted from Vdrums:
As a film pro I can say This is really well done. Nice shots of game detail and good graphics. What do you think the runtime of the finished film will be? Have you talked with any distributors or platforms? Seems you used some well known music tracks, which I imagine From the cost you haven’t licensed yet.
Seems like it might need some color grading, which is a service I offer here in NYC.
Can’t wait to see the whole film. Netflix has a number of docs that this might fit in with.
You probably know this but make sure you get signed releases from all participants and locations you’ve shot as well as archival footage (or a Legal opinion saying it’s okay to use)
You’ll need those in order to get the errors and ommisions insurance required for distribution.
Thanks for your comments, which I will pass along to the director. All ideas are welcome. . .hence the name: Welcome to Arcadia.
Welcome to Arcadia will be the director's second documentary film. His first documentary, entitled: VIVA AMIGA, was well-received and was in the running for a film festival nomination. VIVA AMIGA, released in 2017, is currently on Netflix and/or Amazon. It's described as "a retro love letter to the fans and creators of the Commodore Amiga, a machine that changed the way people thought of computers."
The cinematographer who shot the scenes in my basement arcade is Bill Winters. He's a very talented asset to Welcome to Arcadia who worked on the Ted Bundy Netflix series. It's very exciting to be part of the creative group behind this project.
We're seeking a sort of MTV meets PBS vibe for the film. With all of the diverse footage we've created, the project is well suited for a Netflix series. The film's team greatly appreciates all those who follow the project on Twitter. Evidently, such things are pretty important to launching a film of this nature.
