64 Days – Part 4

Pedal * Blog

It’s taken Amanda and I a long, long time to put out this episode – and in the last several months since we released 8, the script for 9 has gone through many changes. The last two weeks that we’ve been working on this has been exciting, I didn’t realize how much I miss posting new episodes.

I’m watching the progress bar on Vimeo slowly climb past 8% and it’s a little before 1 in the morning as I’m writing this. It’s gonna be a long night – but it’s worth it.

So – a brief introduction to this episode. This is the 9th episode overall that we’ve put out, and it’s the 4th chapter in the 64 Days series. It introduces in greater detail the three crew members: Olan, Olivier, and Jef. Who all flew out from Belgium to work on Pedal without any pay… at least yet, I hope I’ll be able to change that when the film is finished *fingers crossed*

Our time on the road with them taught us both so much. It was an experience I will never forget – and never really know how to properly put into words. Well, enough talk. I hope you enjoy it. Amanda and I worked very hard on it.

If you do enjoy it, as always we’d love to hear your comments and questions – but also, if you have a twitter account, we’d really be flattered if you send out a quick twitter about it. Which you can do all with one click here.

We’re also excited about being able to embed this episode on your own blog in beautiful HD – we purchased 10,000 HD embeds from Vimeo so you can see it in full resolution *anywhere* on the web – so please help us put those 10,000 embeds to good use!

And as I mentioned in my last post – here’s a link to the PDF of episode 9’s script. This was scanned in about two weeks ago, so you’ll notices some slight differences in what’s typed out and what ended up in the timeline. We tend to make small changes and rearrange the edit up until the last minute.

Thanks for being so patient with us – and thanks for all the support.

  • Whoa.. that last line hit me like punch in the gut.... ha, looking at the dates... I guess I'm a little behind everyone else in watching this... but that means less time to wait for the next installment!
  • Hey Neil :) I'm glad it had an effect on you - we weren't sure (it being our first "cliffhanger") if we'd be able to pull it off. And no, no - I'm glad people are still coming back and watching these episodes... I'd be sad if after the first wave it just sat around collecting dust.

    Thanks for watching! We'll try not to keep you waiting too long.
  • I know the hard work that went into this. Beautiful, as always, from beautiful people.
  • Thank you Lori - we appreciate the support. And it means a lot to us when people stop and think about how much work these take. Thank you :)
