Posted project update #45The Raid Live Stream, Tonight!
Post CommentHey all!
Just a quick heads-up, in case you didn't know already, that The Raid will be live streamed on MMO-Champion.com, Gamebreaker.tv, and Curse.com tonight at 6 PM PST/9 PM EST. I will be doing some interviews pre and post show and TypeFrag is doing killer give-aways including a Doghouse System PC!
For a summary video check it here.
Congrats to you all! It's been a long road and we finally get to share the film!
Warmest regards,
Kevin M. Johnson

Posted project update #44The Raid - Trailer and Live Stream Event
Hey there Fabulous Folk!
Just wanted to drop off the new video with info on an upcoming live stream event. I hope you enjoy! So excited about finally getting to show this thing fully to the public :).
Donor rewards should be all up to date, minus the Legendary production books. Still putting some final touches on those, but almost finished!
As always, thank you for your constant support.

commented on a project updateOf course you can say "we"! That's the coolest part about this film; and yet another reason why a big communal, live-stream event is how I want this thing to launch. We've got a cool plan in the works!

Hulu, amazon, itunes! BIG NAMES!
I completely understand everything you said I just am saddened that by the time it finally comes out the ICC stuff will be pretty far removed from peoples minds. But to be fair in the conversations we have had your original goal was always to bring in people who have no idea what world of warcraft even is, or people who know what it is but have never played it, so in that respect I guess the timing as it compares to ICC getting further and further removed really does not matter that much.
All that said, as someone who has known about this as long as I have .... CONGRATS MAN on it finally coming together. CANNOT WAIT! Extremely proud of what we (I can say we right? even if I was only in one interview and not the final film?) have accomplished.
O and tell steph I said hello.

Posted project update #42Update re: distribution and TankSpot video!
Post CommentHey there followers of The Raid!
I wanted to write with a brief update concerning recent conversations I've been having with a top distributor in the digital market. We are really excited about the opportunity that appears to have presented itself for this film. I will be sure to keep you posted as the conversations play out!
In the meantime, here is a little tribute video I edited together with bonus footage shot during my work on the film. The subject is the community of TankSpot, it's history and the personalities behind the wheel. It's definitely heavy on details and made for the hardcore fan. Feel free to check it out!
Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. I'll keep you posted on any further news! Thank you for your continued support and patience. This has definitely been a long road, but I'm excited that there's a possibility for the film to have a life out in the public.

There is no doubt that you have put alot of effort into this. And as a mere pledger I can`t really expect more. But from a personal creative perspective I feel that the whole ICC run, allthough a sensible idea, feels abit overdone and confusing for someone whos trying to get a grasp what raiding is about.
Explaining the subject with a simple and explicit narritive is more helpful than watching a group actually finish *all* the ICC bosses and go ”nice oneshot guys” everytime. For example, Marrowgar->PP->BQL->Sindragosa->LK would have done the job of showing gameplay with a sense of progress just fine. As of now it just feels abit annoying, sorry.
The work you have done with the interviews are just amazing though, so it`s still very good. But I think that for someone who doesn`t raid the movie would be more enjoyable with less of a ”Doubble Dragon vs. ICC” approach.
Good luck.

Thank you Kevin!
I watched the pre-screeing in the middle of the night on the live stream (at like 4 in the morning here in sweden?) and while i loved it i really think this version is a lot better. As I have seen a lot of people say the first one was a bit short for the content so i think this one had a lot more balance between all the subjects.
Seeing my name at the end I felt nothing but pride to have my name on such an awesome movie!
Take care
Kalle
