The DVD is available for pre-order, but I'm offering something new this year...
I'm all about quality, and frankly, the DVD format (originally introduced almost 20 years ago) is not cutting the mustard, so to speak. The files are huge and the quality is not there. I've been trying to stay away from Blu-ray because it's expensive to produce and even more time consuming. It's easy to create an HD (that's 720p) MP4 file in a fraction of the time and with less hard disk space.
The problem is delivery. How do I get the files to my customers? I would love to do a digital download, and I have found an easy solution for delivering files. I also want to make individual clips available for download as well, so here's my thinking:
You (the customer) fill out a request form on my website asking for a specific section of the ballet or the entire performance or just Act I or whatever. I give you a price, let's say $5.00 for one dance, $10.00 for an Act and $15.00 for the whole enchilada. You pay me via a PayPal money request that I send you and then I send you a link to download the file! Viola! It is kind of a lengthy process, but everyone gets what they want and I don't have to render any individual files that ends up ordering.
If this thing takes of in any meaningful way I will make the process more automated.
