Sun Ship Game on Youtube - Complete
Wow. Just re-read this and spellcheck won that battle big time. Here is a corrected version:
Sunship game should be on YouTube and iTunes! DVDs are so 90's. Who's making the decision to only offer DVDs. In 2 years DVD players will no longer exist. Please reconsider the current strategy or the movie will fade out of view and never be available to YOUNGER generations who today look at DVD players the same way we look at 8 track tape. - end of rant Jaun - I own two copies of the DVD! iTunes honors creative rights in the same way as DVD licensing. How is it different? I would think the marketing reach of iTunes would help sales a great deal! Sunship game is one of my favorite movies. I will just make a copy to watch on my iPhone. Sean |

Sean Sean, I was addressing the idea of putting the film on YouTube for free viewing. The day that films are only on iTunes will be a problem for filmmakers, who receive very little revenue from iTunes or Netflix. Same as is happening in music with the disappearance of CDs. Juan |

I don't know about Netflix, but film owners receive 70% of the sale price on iTunes, the same as musicians or iPhone App writers. That's a ten times higher percentage of the retail price than you ever got from selling a physical DVD in a store, with a long distribution chain. Even selling physical DVDs yourself from home by mail (internet) order, your margins probably aren't near 70%, as you have to pay to make the DVD and case and for shipping. |

How many more copies of 'Sunship Game' does the owner expect to sell? And how long will he have to wait to sell those copies? I'd expect that most people who would pay cash to view this documentary have already bought it.
What would it cost to buy the rights to "Sunship Game" and make it freely available? Is it better to sell relatively few copies of Sunship Game, or have it viewed by potentially larger numbers of people? If the Bee Gees sound track is the distribution problem, then maybe it could be overdubbed. |

For all you Sunship Game enthusiasts, I have produced a beautiful book of Gleb's work as a fashion photographer which I am sure you will all love. Be sure to look it up on Amazon. Capturing Fashion Derujinsky was a labor of love. Thanks, Andrea Derujinsky

Sean I'd love to get a hold of this DVD but I'm not in the US and £40 is a bit steep for me. I'd happily pay to view it on iTunes or YouTube. Does anyone know if this is available outside the US or electronically anywhere? I don't even own a DVD player TBH. |

There is or was an AVI copy somewhere on the 'net but its got two serious defects: its low resolution (about 512x450) and blurry even at that size. Watch it full screen and it doesn't get any better, just bigger. I think its a transcription from film made with a domestic quality digitiser. I've seen better quality videos made by converting 8mm home movies. Just bite the bullet and buy the DVD. After all it is the only professionally made cinema verite film about a soaring competition. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

I clicked on the first link, got to Youtube with a black screen, and the
message, "This video is unavailable.

I bit the bullet and ordered a copy from Amazon this week. It sounds like this is a must-see for aspiring glider pilots.
