I finally got around to recording the audio commentary for THE BATTLE FOR CREATA FOREST like I have wanted to do for the last month almost. I needed to write some bullet points to make sure and cover everything I wanted to talk about because there is alot to cover. I wont spoil anything but just keep in mind I couldn't cover all of my secrets. Maybe in the future I will write some blogs about various topics about the movie. So let me know if you have any questions about the movie-making-process.
We take all of these things in our lives for granite like audio DVD commentaries. I was wondering where they come from? So i looked into it on the internet, and it turns out commentatires have a good history all to themself.
The first audio commentary on DVD happened in 1997 for the movie CONTACT (A movie I have seen before that has a pretty cool space station thing in it, it stars Matthew McConahey) which was a big leap forward. Just kidding, it turns out the first audio commenataries were made for Laserdiscs, a type of giant DVD that was not as popular. It was first done for the movie King Kong. I think the original one obviously not the new one by the Lord of the Rings team. A company called The Criterion Collection made them after they liked hearing people talking during the process of making the Laserdisc. I have never heard of that company but I clicked on them and they make a lot of important movies so I will need to check them out.
And now commentaries are everywhere! I made one myself today!
That's a pretty interesting history, isn't it? It is interesting the kind of histories you can find when you just ask the right questions.
