Title: DVD Extra's Help
Post by: Geekyfanboy on September 13, 2008, 09:52:20 PM
Hey Folks.. I need some input. I'm going to be doing some of the DVD Extras for the second season DVD of The Guild (an online web series, if you don't know). And I need to know those of you who enjoy extras what are some of your favorite type.

Here is what I'm thinking so far...

- Gag Reel
- Making of an Episode (from writing it to post production, following an entire process from beginning to end.

What else do you guys enjoy??

Thanks for your help.
Kenny

That's awesome Kenny!  I'd love to see little interviews with each of the cast.  Get to know them a bit more.

For me, the interest is primaily in the screw-ups and production - you have that covered already.

Deleted stuff is always interesting too and if the 'making of' show doesn't cover it, the 5/10 minute walk around type tours of sets etc are always fun for me (I mean the walk around with a camera type tour rather than the pan from a fixed location). For some reason I get a kick out of the '...and this is Mabel who makes the tea' introductions etc.

Hope it helps...

I love making of promo's interviews with cast and crew, commentary on episodes and of course the gag reel, you must have screw ups. Maybe even a script section where you can read the script, and what about a location piece.

I see you already have the Gag Reel idea in there cause that is usually my top,
but might I suggest commentaries if possible, I love listening to cast and crew commentaries.

Thanks for all the suggestions... they actually did commentaries on their season one DVD's which are great. And have gag reels as well. They also have a few casting tapes on the season one DVD. If you haven't gotten the DVD.. it's a must for any fan.

I'll be doing stand alone stuff, ie interviews, BTS, set visits, cast readings, post production, stuff like that.. should be fun.
