Thanks Justin. I've been using Virtual Dub to do the initial processing of the video and Reaper for the audio. Once I get it all synced up in a high def file I use Windows Live Movie Maker to do the final edits and credits and stuff. The first three demo videos came out great that way. But there is some kind of problem with Movie Maker now, that I didn't notice immediately with this demo because of it's "old movie" look (which I did to downplay an out-of-focus problem).
While working on Kevin Crew's crazy heavy metal shredding video I realized Movie Maker was taking the really smooth video I got from my new Nikon and dropping frames like crazy to make it look very choppy. I'm working to resolve the dropped frame issue and when I do I will put up a better version of this video and will also post Kevin's video. Even if you are not a metal fan, you have to respect the Tode cranking out 112dB from a 4x12 stack, and Kevin's playing is definitely worth seeing.
About half of the first run of Todes is shipped and more Tode kits are heading out next week. We were waiting for more wood cabinet pieces and they just arrived. I think most of the kits that have been ordered so far should be shipped out by the end of next week. For those who didn't get in on the first run, we are working on getting the second run into production for you. I'd estimate the usual 4-6 weeks before we have all the parts in stock, and the usual selling out of the run before we even get all the parts in from our suppliers.
