Ummmmm, no. As it is still a Limited edition in the fact that it is currently the only DVD available for that event, and will continue to be so for quite some time as there will only be VHS this year. Grant

That is ABSOLUTLY correct! I had well over 60 people all wanting the DVD so I made the decision to order a few more. Now everyone is happy. As far as limited eddition..... Well its still the only Freefall convention EVER done on DVD. So in that respect it is still a very limited DVD for everyones collection. As far as outlets for the video (Vhs) you can order direct from Martini Shot Films, from Para-Gear, or Pier LTD. Square 1 does not carry any of my videos. And for the DVD you can currently only ORDER directly through Martini Shot Films. Para-Gear may carry them in the future! Grant

There will be a Film festival at the WFFC 2003. The festival will be hosted by MARTINI SHOT FILMS. There will be Prizes supplied by some major skydiving equipment manufacturers, as well as a State of the Art DV editing package (Software only!!! you add the computer) From the leader in Non-linear digital editing..... AVID. Stay tuned for rules, categories, and all the important info you will need if you want to enter the contest. Grant

So do you all like the DVD??? Grant

!!!!!!! OFFICIAL DVD UPDATE !!!!!!!! I just spoke with the DVD authoring house. They have informed me that I will have a prototype DVD this week. I will then test this DVD. If testing goes well, the DVD will be sent off and mastered. We are getting very close. Thank you for all your patience. Grant

OK HERE IS AN OFFICIAL VIDEO UPDATE!!!! PEOPLE SHOULD START SEEING VHS Versions of the video starting on TUESDAY!!!! This includes both Adult and Family versions. Some locations may take longer, but please keep your eyes out for them this week!!!! Grant UPDATE ON DVD TO FOLLOW SHORTLY (shortly = mid-week)

Thank you for your support! I am very confidant you will be satisfied. Grant

Maybe in the future he might not take peoples cash until he can deliver the product. People might not be so pissed off about not getting something if they haven't already payed for it. Quote That is actually a very good suggestion. Thank you for the input! I do not have a problem with people ordering after the video is produced and not before hand. I am one of the most forthcoming people around, ask anyone who knows me... I will tell you what ever you want to know. But please ask... don't attack. I am just like the rest of you, and I am sure you wouldn't like being attacked. I want this DVD to be the best possible, I want the VHS to be the best possible. I work very hard all year to put this together. The people who ordered the VHS should be receiving them sometime after Monday. I am in constant communication with the DVD authoring company. They tell me I SHOULD have a Prototype DVD late next week. It will be carefully tested, and if there are no problems with it, then it will be duplicated. 200 DVD's with your first Rantoul Convention EVER. What a memory! Please be patient, I understand you are anxious. I am doing everything in my power to make this process as quick as possible. If you have any further questions please email me personally at Grant@martinishotfilms.com Grant

is also the customers perogative no to do business with someone that markets a product as one thing (limited) and turns it into something else (unlimited) after he gets the money. Absolutly correct again. You might want to try the link, its not active. Grant

I am sorry, I was unaware you had access to my records. Would you like to tell me how many copies you think I have sold? Besides, is it not my prerogative that if the demand warrants it that I make more available? You can consider it limited in the fact that it will not be offered again... how's that? Grant

I doubt that. - Jim Don't doubt it. Grant

You advertised it as a limited edition DVD with a specific number of available copies. Then after you got everyone's money up front for those copies, you continued taking orders, thereby negating the "limited" aspect. I have taken orders for 200 DVD's I will be delivering 200 DVD's. You've ignored every request for information about the delivery date until now. This is untrue!! I have updated everyone on Freefall.com many times as to the status of the VIDEO AND DVD. I have Personally responded to many emails. Then you've advertised several dates when it would be released that have come and gone. I announced Xmas time, at Xmas time I made an update letting everyone know the new delayed status, I never posted an alternative date!!! Personally, I'm not upset about the length of time it took, but you could have been up front about it. I don't appreciate being misled. How Exactly did I mislead you? Do you think I planned this??? It is a delay, Just like everything else in life things happen, the video was delayed. As it was delayed I posted updates, letting people know about the delay. There is nothing more I can do about it. I am now waiting on another company to finish the authoring part of the project. I can only give updates as they give them. The DVD will be done shortly. Vhs's have been shipped. Grant

You know I am really tired of all the whining out there. I have been busting my ass for the past few months editing this video, 3 versions, a family and an adult version, so everyone's happy, along with a DVD with nearly an HOUR of extra Features, thus Doubling the Editing time and complexity of the video. The Christmas time frame was an ESTIMATE, nothing more. I am sorry we have run a month late, the Authoring Process was a bit more difficult to boot, so there is some additional delay. We did this DVD as an experiment... would it work. I have my answer. "Its not worth it", because people are too impatient to wait a bit longer for a high quality product. Next year the special edition DVD will not be offered. I will have some very important news very soon. It will be posted both here and on freefall.com. Thank you Grant Carroll Grant@martinishotfilms.com

Also if your really upset and want your money back please email me at Grant@martinishotfilms.com. I have many people who wanted the video in DVD version but due to the limited quantity we are having duplicated were not able to order one. For all of you that still want the DVD's I can tell you that I will have some very important news very soon. It will be posted both here and on freefall.com.
