| Frequently Asked Questions When will the movie be released? How long is the movie? In what format will the movie be released? Will it come out on DVD? How can I buy a copy? Who's making the movie? What animation software do you use? Can I do any voices in the movie? Do you need permission from Paramount to do this? Can I buy the trailer in video format? Will there be any movies based on other series? Why do the Pus in Boots story? Will/can the movie be translated into other languages? Can I download the trailer at TV resolution? Q: When will the movie be released? A: We finished the movie and sent copies to various magazine, fan club and website reviewers (stay tuned for more on this) in late February. We also sent a copy to the Office of Film & Literature Classification to get a rating. It takes around 4 weeks to get the rating so we hope to have the movie available for sale in late March/early April.  At that point, we will begin a Pre-Order Period of 4 weeks where you will be able to buy the video and other merchandise heavily discounted (20% off everything) as well as all pre-ordered videos autographed by writer/director John Cook and animator Andrew Simpson. Then all videos will be posted out at the end of the Pre-Order Period. Q: How long is the movie? A: 40 minutes long (eg - a typical hour long, 5 Act Television episode) with 1 minute of bloopers at the end over the credits. Q: In what form will the movie be released? A: We will be releasing the movie on video. It will be available in Pal and NTSC format. Q: Will it come out on DVD? A: Not at this stage. Personally, I think the idea of behind-the-scenes footage and commentary on DVD is very cool but the movie would have to be fantastically popular and in huge demand for us to afford to rerelease it on DVD (to render it at the higher DVD resolution along is a huge undertaking). Q: How can I buy a copy? A: It will be available for purchase from this website (Sevshop). We are also exploring the possibility of distributing it to convention dealers, comic bookstores and video stores. If you know of any stores (eg - scifi or comic book) or convention dealers in your local area that might be interested, please email me their URL/email address. Also, if you're part of a fan club, you can organise a bulk order which will give you great discounts. Email me for more info. Q: Who's making the movie? A: Find out everyone involved in production at the Sev Trek Movie Crew page. Q: What animation software do you use? A: The software Andrew uses to create and animate the 3D models is Animation Master. Find out more from Andrew's website. Q: Can I do any voices in the movie? A: All voices have been recorded. Most of the voices were done by the very talented voice impersonator WEIRD Wally Fields. Other actors involved are listed in the Sev Trek Movie Crew Q: Do you need permission from Paramount to do this? A: The Sev Trek movie is a parody of Star Trek and doesn't infringe on any copyright. As long as I'm careful to make it clear it can't be passed of as official Star Trek and I don't copy their storylines, as parody, it's completely safe. Q: Can I get the trailer in video format? A: We will include the trailers at TV resolution at the end of the video. If you're interested in downloading a TV rez version of the latest trailers (they're over 20 meg), email me for the URL. Q: Will there be any movies based on other series? A: I have actually written a script for a second Sev Trek movie (hiding hints about it in Pus in Boots) and I have written story outlines for many other Sev Trek movies across all the series (including some pretty cool crossovers). However, whether we produce other movies after this one will definitely depend on how the first one goes. Q: Why the Pus in Boots story? A: I chose to do the Pus in Boots story because it was the most visual story I'd written and translates well to an animation. In fact, this story suits animation better than a still cartoon. The original online Pus in Boots story comprises less than a third of the final movie. Q: Will/can the movie be translated into other languages? A: There are no plans to provide translations of the Sev Trek movie. This is a huge undertaking, organising the voices of a range of people to do each character, and unfortunately well beyond our capacity at this point in time. Q: Can I download the trailer at TV resolution? A: Yes. The TV resolution trailer is 720 x 576 pixels with 16 bit sound. It's 41 Meg when zipped but if you can accept an email that large, email me and I'll email you back the file. Please let me know what you want it for (we particularly welcome TV channels to broadcast the trailer if interested). |
