SHIMMER Business Notes for November 28, 2014
I remember we briefly did something similar to this a few years ago, so I thought I'd bring it back as a way to periodically provide our fans with a bit of an update concerning what's going on with the company.
As those of you who were in attendance at our shows last month are aware, we did our first sellout in Berwyn in several years on Oct. 18, and came fairly close on Oct. 19 as well. Considering that weekend was also our most expensive shows to produce, a full house was something we really needed. Thanks to everyone who made the trip to Berwyn to catch those shows live!
One of the most important things we are working to improve on is the turn around time for the video footage of our events. Getting caught up is our top priority during these winter months. Our editor David Puente has been putting in extra time to get the unreleased shows ready as quickly as possible, so the material can be in your hands faster than usual.
We finished production on SHIMMER 64 this week, which means the footage will now be submitted to have the DVDs made (typically a three week process). The video edit of 65 & 66 is about 75% finished, but we need to re-record some commentary tracks on a portion of that material before the shows can be finalized. Though we attempted live commentary on those shows, a faulty microphone cable rendered most of the commentary audio unusable, thus the need to re-record. We're tackling that during the weekend of December 13, to finish all commentary audio for 65, 66, 69, and 70 (67 & 68 we recorded live last month). Once that is out of the way, we can start releasing all of the shows as quickly as they can be edited.
For those who follow SHIMMER through downloading the matches at ClickWrestle.com, they now have all of the footage we've released up to this point in their hands, and they can begin adding new content to the site as quickly as their release schedule allows.
For those with a Roku device, we have our own sub-section as part of the newly launched World Wrestling Network premium channel, which also offers content from Dragon Gate USA, Evolve, Shine, FIP, CZW, and Kayfabe Commentaries.
We are in the process of determining the dates and locations of the SHIMMER events during early 2015. We hope to have all of them officially set by this time next week, so everyone who would like to attend the shows in person can have plenty of time to make plans. Tickets for the next set of tapings in the Chicago area will go on sale during the first week of January.
For those attending AAW's "Windy City Classic" this Saturday night in Berwyn, IL, we will have copies of the SHIMMER 60-63 DVD releases available. If there are any specific earlier DVDs you are interested in picking up at the show, shoot us an E-mail at shimmernews@yahoo.com and we'll be sure to bring them.
We'll do our best to keep everyone informed here during the coming weeks.
