Actually escapist only had since late last thursday, friday was christmas, then the weekemd, I'm told that monday technically could have been a "bank holiday?" they might have fumbled the ball a bit on tuesday but its wednesday and the world is at peace. I'm not 100% happy on the handling but it could have been worse, a lot better also but worse as well.Will the Great said:Is The Escapist borrowing from the SciFi Channel's Book of How to Host a Hit Series? They've been sitting on it since last Tuesday, so what possible reason could there be for this extended wait? At least when the second half of BSG S4 was yanked away for a whole year it was to milk more money from the fans.
Other content that ISN'T a 40-minute long epic finale to a popular series, you mean? I bet the unskippable guys/Yahtzee upload their content themselves, and the reviews are probably made in-house. (and easy enough to upload before christmas and timed to go live, even)Will the Great said:Normally a bank holiday would be an acceptable excuse (or would be, if that didn't still leave us with a week), but somehow the Escapist managed to upload other content despite that fact. I wonder what bizarre plot device prevented them from using this same advanced technology to post TWBB's finale the same way.
Please don't feed the trolls. Leave them to wallow in the knowledge that no one will remember them when they die of collapsed arteries.zimpirate said:Jerry, what you're saying is impossible, movie editing takes some time, also editing hours of video on top of normal everything living ie, Job, sleeping etc. isn't easy.
Go to Film school then you can talk.

And now you know... The rest of the story.tibet said:Things happen and Matt and Crew are not pissed at Escapist, nor they at them as far as I know. The big delay came from 2 out of 3 computers used for editing going offline (breaking) during the editing process. There would have been 3 editors working at once if they had the computers, so their editing time tripled. That's why Matt collapsed, because he was doing most of it on his own. Also there were over 50 special effect shots in this one episode, so those ran behind as well. I spent the evening with Matt on the 26th and he is rested, feeling well and very glad to have it finally completed. He sent the episode to Escapist shortly before the last computer died, so he didn' have the episode to show, but I hear it's really good. Also, FYI, all crew and actors worked for free. Escapist provided funding for production (mostly props and costumes) but this was a labor of love for everyone who worked on it.
