Hi Rolf,
I wanted to film them in Panavision at Universal Studios and have Spielberg direct, but we couldn't agree on a price. So I had to settle for renting a few locations in the Valley and using a local company to do the production.
Based on projected sales, the Spielberg / Panavision produced AB Videos were going to cost $85,000 a copy, but our marketing research found that the average AB was only willing to pay about $40.00.
Then I tried renting a Stinger Surface to Air Missle System to quiet the Airplane, but I couldn't get a permit. LA is really strict about these things.
All things said, most people enjoy them and order more. The clips average about 600 downloads a week, even though they are huge.
take care ol' friend,
Bill
