Episode 9 – Production Notes 2
Is the 5th really coming up that fast? Yikes! Render farm to full speed! We just wrapped shooting what we believe to be our best episode ever and can’t wait to release it. Videora and VirtualDub are standing by ready to encode the xvid and mp4 as soon as I finish some final touches. Running time is creeping up on an hour so be prepared for a power packed episode.
Now I know we’ve made a promise from day one to release quality tech/entertainment on the 5th of each month, but I’ll level with ya. The 5th is going to be a crazy day for us for many reasons and it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. So we’ll be releasing on the 4th! I don’t have a firm time since I’ve got a business trip that day so expect it some time that evening (EST, -5 GMT of course). For the most up to date happenings head over to the IRC chat in #hak5 on irc.techphile.ca. That’s where we’ll be holding the usual release party. If you’ve never joined us in chat for a release party before tomorrow is a perfect time to join the crew and see how much crazy fun it is.
Now without further adieu, production note screenshots hot off the timeline.
Rob Fuller joins Wess with a fantastic segment and a sexy laptop.
Back in the control room things go very wrong. Wess and Darren plan corrective action.
Wess, Jenn, and Darren all remind you to trust your technolust. It’s like using the force!
Thank you everyone for your continued support, it has pushed us to make the show better with every pixel. We hope to see you on the 4th for a rockin’ release!

Yikes, I count what looks like at least 30 DV tapes in the second pic there! Although, if you’re always using 3 cams simultaneously, I suppose that’s not too unreasonable.
So far 52 tapes, or about 6 tapes an episode. Most arent full as we replace tape if there is less than 15 minutes available, and once you figure in two or three camera shoots it gets up there. I think our shooting radio for this ep is 1:2, not counting B roll for cutaways.
WTF!! Another IPTV show not releasing when they’ve said they’ll release. Oh, Hak.5 is actually releasing EARLY!! Can’t wait for the show guys. I’m sure it’ll be as great as ever. Also, 1 hour of technolusting isn’t a problem (I’d take it every month if you had time for production).
One good reason why Indiana is now on DST. I’ll be able to properly party with HAK.5 over IRC!
The best episode ever? I can’t wait!
Gosh, I haven’t been on IRC for so long. Maybe I’ll join in for a chat, unless I am stuck in traffic on my way home.
6 tapes per episode, hmm…6 tapes cost about 18 dollars. Therefore, I just donated the funds for an entire episode! No, really, it’s the least I could do.

Congrats on the next episode. I look forward to it. Tapes are expensive as all get out. I’ll be looking on the 4th for the new release!
Looking forward to it guys. With the on-time regular releases and good production quality you guys are becoming the top IPTV tech show out there.
