Hi Fellow Drivers
I was privileged to review the pre-release copy of the Laurels DVD II and I
want to pass on Dave's e-mail to the carriage driving list regarding
ordering it. He really has done something wonderful for the sport of
Combined Driving and this year's model is truly different and exciting.
The
viewer is actually riding with some of the world's best and experiencing
what it is like to drive some great hazards. The behind the scenes
segments
are full of surprises and laughs that really give full flavor to the sport
and it's participants. The Laurels was the National Championship for the
Ponies so you'll get to see Tracey Morgan driving her pair of Dartmoor
ponies
in a blazing hazard performance to win the pair division.
Anyway, I couldn't imagine how Dave and his crew could improve on last
year's DVD but he has done something totally different and so much more
exciting. Please support his efforts and buy both copies for your library.
You won't regret it.
Nancy Taylor Rojo

The resounding question becomes....... how does one take an unconnected
string of disasters, add an endless hassle with idiotic soundtrack
licensing
(including one whole great segment we couldn't use because the co-writer
from 1968 is nowhere to be found), throw in a pinch of having zero time to
work on it, mix it all up and bake it into something palatable? Simple,
you
light a whole bale of little green pieces of paper with Grant's portrait
on
fire, and wing it.
It's done ....finally. Do we want to do this again? No. Will Jamie hold
a
gun to my head if I don't? Yes. You guys be the judges.
Ordering this year is simple. Simply go to www.fountainheadtv.com and
follow
the link, print out the form, and mail it in. There is also a special deal
for the ones we had left over from last year.
The individuals will ship when the discs arrive here from the copy house
(I'll believe it when I see them) on Tuesday.
We are only releasing this on DVD. When you see it, you'll know
why....it's
nothing like last year. There is just no way we could have put all the
segments end to end on a tape.
Lest anyone think this is a nice little money maker for us....a reminder.
In
TV land, producing long form documentaries works out to about $1000.00 per
edited minute. Extras segments are less,but not much. For this project,
with
what we are charging per disc, "break even" would be 1600 copies. Last
year
we sold 400. This year we'll sell 400. But hey, you want to see a sport
grow, sometimes you have to give it a good swift kick. I see driving doing
in the future what the bull rider group did. Seen as a minor sideshow
under
the rodeo administrative & marketing machine, they broke away from the
main
body and promoted themselves, by themselves, got their own
sponsors......and
now look. Their organization has more sponsorship dollars than the rest of
the rodeo disciplines combined....thank you very much (ref: Fortune Small
Business). Like the bull people, we have to get driving under the noses of
the right people, and I hope this DVD helps to that end.
Have a nice day,
Davoid.
