2009 DVDs Available Now

Each year, the DMA produces a DVD - 5ive min films - that features the work done over the course of the year. This years DVD was completed a little later than usual. I attempted to use Lulu.com, the same service that we use to produce The Last Draft, the department's compilation of screenplays - but a series of complications caused me to abandon that plan. Instead, I chose a similar publishing service, CreateSpace and eventually found some success. Turns out that self publishing a DVD is more difficult than self publishing a book.

At any rate, the DVD is finished and looks great. It features a couple of narrative shorts, a stop-motion animation, a series of promotional pieces that the department created for the DMA, a collection of podcasts produced by the Music and Sound Department, and of course, artwork created in the Graphic Arts Department.

Copies of the DVD are available for sale at CreateSpace and a portion of every sale comes back to the video department to help with the cost of equipment, software, and activities. Please, take a look at the site and support the Video Department and the DMA.
