I just now dropped off Event Horizon 3 with the GGL Wire to upload to there VOD player on GGL.com. Producer said as soon as he can get it encoded and ready to go they will launch it. They want to get it up today, so look for it throughout the day. As soon as I know I’ll update the site with the link to watch.
If you would rather wait to download it we will have some higher quality versions as well as a normal quality.
Yes Event Horizon 3 is done and will be released in a few days. There are a few things we have to take care of before we can release the film. A few members of the team and I (sp4rky) will be heading to Quakecon 07 tomorrow (8/1/07) to have some fun and we will be releasing Event Horizon 3 from there with the GGL Wire, formerly known as RadioITG.
The GGL Wire will not be streaming live at Quakecon this year but they are doing VODs (Video On Demands) while Quakecon is going on. So you should be able to watch EH3 on VOD and possibly see an interview with a few of the team members. We will update this site with the day and time that Eh3 will be pushed out on VOD and where you can watch it.
We are not sure that we want to push the EH3 movie out by file while we are at Quakecon 07 because we will be tied up at the event and unable to deal with press, questions, and comments. This my change but for now if you are eager to see it before its released by file keep checking back on the site to see when and where it will get released by VOD during Quakecon 07.
Event Horizon 2 is now on GeeVee.com, which is a site like youtube but for gaming videos. Seems to be a bit higher quality playback too.
Anyways you can check it out there and we also entered it in the Diggnation contest that GeeVee.com is hosting so be sure to check it out and go the website and mark the video ‘Cool.’ =D Also JRB uploaded iT2 so be sure and go check that out too and mark it ‘Cool’.
Here are is the complete set of intro screenshots for the team. I’ll keep screens and any other goodies coming as I get them from the editor. So keep an eye on the site.

If you look just right over there (Right Column) -> You will see under pages, Member Profiles. There a few profiles not up yet but the majority are there.
The profiles have their Nickname, Model, Real Name, Location, Age, Tricking Experience, Tricking Since, Inspiration/s, Mouse, Hobbies and a few have pictures up.
It’s long, I know but hang in there and then give us some feedback.
Changes:
The team is working hard to meet a demo deadline for an upcoming project we announced earlier this year. Event Horizon 3 which will be premiered at Quakecon 2007 live by RadioITG if all goes well.
There have been some concerns/worries among the team and myself that the short time frame we have for getting demos is going to cause Event Horizon 3 to not be all that it can be. May 15th (4 days from now) is the demo deadline for the team so we can send the demos over to Temporal Pictures to give them enough time to edit EH3. Most of us are in school and have been busy with that until recently and has caused some of the team to not be available to trick with until this month. When we decided to take on this opportunity for EH3 we were well aware of all of this. Despite all of this we were ready and hopeful that we could pull it off.
Now 4 days from the demo deadline we have some killer content for EH3 but not enough to make a good length video (10-15 mins). We want EH3 to be a hit and for people to really enjoy it and like I said we’ve got some really nice content and we’re still working on content. As I am typing this the team is in the server working on landing a trick for EH3, and its 5 AM. Anyways, we either had to go with a shorter video or shoot for a 10-15 min. video and add some single tricks from the team members.
We have always done team tricks only for the videos because that is what this team was put together for, but at the same time we have some really good single tickers. We have also gotten comments about how people would like to see some singles tricks mixed in. Tonight we had a meeting about what we wanted to do with EH3 and it was decided that it was a ‘win, win’ situation to add some single tricks in to EH3. However, EH3 will be a majority of team tricks.
With that news out of the way I just want to mention a few things:
I just want to say how impressed and proud I am of this team.
We don’t just meet in a server and land tricks and then go our ways. We talk to each other on a daily basis by chat, voice conference, and we’ve met at conventions. We’ve all gotten to know each other over the years but never did I think when the team started in 2004 that we would one day all seem like family to each other and be very close friends.
Why I am saying this is because there has been some tension between us all for the past couple of months because we have all felt stressed and have literally wore our patience thin working on getting the content for EH3 in time. As a result there has been some snipping and disagreements and even some distancing. What would normally break a team up didn’t, the team just worked it out. The teammates literally sat down and talked about what the issue was and apologies were made and things we’re learned. I speak about them but I myself am just as guilty at times. What has impressed me most is that these guys don’t have to put up with a thing. They could easily say “I’m done” but they don’t because they are all like family to each other and they do this because they love to see people enjoy the finished product. They don’t seek glory or fame they just want to please the people watching and make it an awesome experience.
I’m done with my sap moment but I just wanted you all to know just how dedicated and focused these guys are on making things enjoyable for you.
It is truly awesome to lead a team like this.
