When are we going to know if our 'I Am John Galt' videos are going to be included on the Atlas Shrugged Part II DVD?

  I got it uploaded on October 31st. That was the soonest I could get my hands on a movie poster and have someone videotape me.
  Please don't tell me it won't be included.

    Yep, it looks like you missed it Fred. The deadline was actually the 29th. :(
    
    The edit was done a week ago and has already been submitted so we'll have to try and get you on the next one.

      It was a pretty short deadline to give people.
      Since the DVD isn't coming out until Spring, why such a short deadline?

        It's a long process to get a DVD ready for retail. The deadline for the DVD extras being submitted was only a week after the deadline for the "I am John Galt" submissions. They all had to be compiled and edited before submitting so it was a pretty tight timeline.

      A week ago? And they didn't take my video off of YouTube? It's been nearly a week and a half.
      Are you sure they didn't use it?

        It looks like another issue was that your video was not submitted as a "video response" to the original YouTube video here: http://youtu.be/Ueu_dXb1DvY?hd=1
        
        Sorry Fred. It looks like we're going to have to wait for Part III - which actually shouldn't be that far off in the future. :)

        The heck I didn't. I hit the video reply and uploaded it.
        I'd still like to know why you chose such a short deadline. I went to expense making that clip for this.

        I understand your disappointment Fred. I just checked and yes, you did in fact submit your video as a "video response." Unfortunately, you submitted the video on Oct. 31st - the original video ( http://youtu.be/Ueu_dXb1DvY?hd=1 ) very clearly states a deadline of 12:00 AM October 29th.
        
        You can read my previous comment regarding why the deadline was chosen: http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts/b5...
        
        Thanks for the attempt Fred. Hopefully we'll get you in for Part III.

        I got my AS II DVD yesterday.
        The fan compilation was only a few minutes and they were all stills.
        Don't you think such a short deadline caused this?
        You need to set a bigger window for AS III.

        Again, why such a short deadline?
        It took me that long to get one of the Atlas Shrugged Part II posters that had to be in the video. As soon as I got it, I arranged for a friend with a good video camera to make the video.
        You need to be giving a reasonable amount of time.
        This was not reasonable for people with full schedules much less for someone who had trouble getting a copy of the movie poster.
