How would we like this to be marketed and/or distributed? Free? Handouts?
Purchased on the net? Just curious, because for the past several weeks I
have been toying with the idea of creating a short promotional video on the
car to the song "Where the streets have no name" from U2. It would be
geared to an audience unfamiliar with the car and its current supporters and
organizations in this day in age. Kind of a ballsy and forward "We're gonna
change your mind and view of this" sort of thing. It would include video
segments and stills from, but not limited to DMCH, PJ Grady, DeLorean Motor
Center, D1, Zillas place, Special T Auto, the DML, footage of the car being
driven, being starred at when fuelling, interviews with enthusiasts' and
every day Joe's perseptions, you get the idea. Hearing about an interactive
CD made me think that this could be a great intro for what they are about to
learn. However, there is a copy write issue with the music I had in mind.
If the disk is given away, can it be done? What are the laws on something
like this? I like it because of the long intro, the build up, upbeat tempo,
and overall length, but laws just might not make it possible. And on a side
note, I lack the equipment currently to handle all this video and editing
(editing, now that's time consuming). Would it be a while before we
accumulate all the hard info for the disk to begin with? Send all comments
and thoughts to the
DML or me at mike@xxxxx This could be great!
