Scott just dropped by the first "Chief City Runs with the Dogs" video, hot off the presses! [Applause] We haven't had time to watch it yet but we will tonight. They have quite a few to package up and send out, but look for your copy soon! I know you are anxious to see it and I told you I would let you all know as soon as they are ready.

Can't wait for my copy. What a total magical experience to have been a part of. If you have never ventured into the walldog territory, I highly recommend it. It is amazing, fun, exhausting, challenging and unforgettable.

You can't pass it up, especially if it is within a days drive! You don't have to really be an experienced hand-painter because many of the pros are there to help you learn and show you how. I'm ready for another one. I think I'm addicted!

Sign-cerely, Steve

I stayed up till 11:30 watching it all! There was so much we missed at the meet because we were "sorta busy" but it was great to see some of the great fun that was had by all. The additional blooper & other scenes disc is a HOOT!! Many stories that we didn't get to see personally but heard about are saved for all to enjoy.
THANK YOU AGAIN to all who were there and made this all possible!
And Steve, I didn't know you wnated to run for office?! Mayor you say! [Wink]

If you haven't bought your copy, http://www.mccoystudios.com/walldogs
Scott said the 2 CD set will be available till 2010 and then it will just be the one CD, without all the extra interviews and bloopers on the 2nd CD.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Thank you for the wonderful feedback on the "Murals On Main Street" Walldog DVD from Pontiac, Illinois. We had a blast meeting all of you and creating this documentary.

I thought I'd answer in the forum, some of the question we are getting.

Q: How much footage did you take of the event?
A: We shot footage beginning with some of the first organizational meetings, through September with the Diaz Family's recognition after the event. I've never counted the actual amount of footage, but it is in the range of 50+ hours. Still photos we took in the range of 1,500.

Q: It seemed like cameras were everywhere during the Pontiac event. How many people did you have?
A: We had three video cameras during the event, and one still camera photographer.

Q: How long did it take to edit?
A: Post production took months. The amount of hours is in the hundreds. Red Bull's consumed is in the dozens.

Q: What do the people of Pontiac think of the video?
A: We've received a lot of great feedback from Pontiac residents. Many are ordering more after watching it. Of course, it's the event and what the Walldogs gave to Pontiac that everyone is really excited about. The video just captured that magic.

Q: Can I sell these from my shop?
A: Yes. You can call us for details on how to obtain the product. However, due to the high demand and additional orders we are getting for Christmas, we may not have any available until after the first of the year.

Q: Is it available in PAL format?
A: No. But we may produce a PAL format version if there is a demand for it.

Q: Is there anything you didn't include?
A: We had completed in post production a couple additional scenes and extended scenes that we couldn't squeeze into the 2 DVDs, so we had to cut them from the final product. However, we may make these available in the future.

Again, thanks everyone! Have a wonderful and warm Christmas and happy New Year!

Scott, we just finished watching it and it's spectacular. Peggy was trying to hold it for a Christmas gift but got tired of my whining and let me see it today. We had tears in our eyes from the opening credits and really went thru some kleenex on the Jay Allen interview. Then Bill had me laughing so hard on the bloopers section, followed by Joe and Ben and the "old men of yore" bit that I was rolling on the floor.
Your production was so professional and well-paced, not to mention the superior sound quality. Most importantly, you captured the essence of the Walldogs and the magic of that weekend.........

Watching this video shows that this whole project was indeed a celebration of life. Of course we love to get together, paint and slap each other on the back and compliment each other on what a great job we did. With this video we relive how great it was to not only to get together but see how this community came together with the help of the Diaz's, the walldogs, and the great folks of Pontiac to bond, help and smile to create a new pride in their town. Thanks again to Pontiac for this opportunity.

I stayed up late last night watching my DVD that arrived yesterday. Very impressive and great photography/videography. Top notch production. I wish their was more of David Butler because he was very funny to be around! With him and Dan on the same mural, it was craziness. Jay Allen kept coming by to spy on us and mess with Dan every chance he had.

To all who have considered trying a walldog meet, but haven't made it yet....just do it!! It is a life experience that will stay with you for your whole career in the sign business. This DVD has captured the essence of what our profession is really all about: creative people using their talents and gifts for a better purpose than making a living. Spread the joy while you spread the paint.

Have a safe and blessed Christmas Walldogs!

Sign-cerely, Steve

Sonny, that's the exact same thing I wrote to Jane in an email . . . I'm with you. Of the two, Joe giving Ben heck about the 'old men of yore' was the one that doubled me over . . . Joe suppressed his giggle as long as he could . . . then had to speak up. So funny!

Well, I had to laugh at all of that, plus Jay, You must know you lost that squirt gun fight...but won the giving competition, the sign you donated was beautiful! We all enjoyed so much of the meet but also missed so much being busy at the murals...but this video brought it all back plus more! And now, we can share it, its the next best thing to being there...nowhere will you find such a diverse, loving, bonded group of friends..we love you all! Kat of tomkat

Kathy . . . yes, to claim victory in that streetfight would be a crime . . . I was beaten - and beaten badly . . .

Jeez, and then I ran away. How sad is that? Feeling a little pathetic . . .!!

Pontiac, Illinois never saw another day in the 90's the rest of the summer . . . oh, the irony . . . So how come the heat doesn't look so bad on video?

Great job, Scott McCoy . . . thanks for giving the Walldogs a memory they can replay time and again. Make sure that spirit of cooperation in Pontiac remains in place there . . . you only limit yourselves and your success - as do we all. You all want what all communities want . . . the best community possible, warts and all. So you already share common ground . . . as do we all.

Merry Christmas!!

I just got mine yesterday. Sat down last night and cried through half of the dang thing. Laughed through lots. It was fantastic, Scott! The music, videography, photography, interviews...the giggles and guffaws,the works.
Like Jay said...the video doesn't show the heat. How did that happen? Course...we wanna thank Scott for filming Mike from the neck up when he was without shirt. Thank you for that saving moment. TMI.
I know now that I need to come East a few days early and adjust to the climate change around there. I grew up in the Midwest...but I must admit, I'm spoiled by the nice dry air in CA. Brain meltdown was something I wasn't prepared for. You guys out there must really have brains and bodies of steel! You think you plan everything, but sometimes things just don't happen as planned and then they all come out OK in the end. My brain was so cooked (and I wasn't even painting outside!...GEEZ Judy...you whimp!), changing my flight time wasn't even thought of till I got bumped half way across the country on the way home. DAMN over-booked flights. I sat there thinking..."Why didn't I just change my flight? I could be painting right now and playing with Bill and Jane. Why did I let these airlines control when I was going home?" DAH! So here's the BIG THANK YOU to Bill for putting the finishing touches on Chief Pontiac and Jesse Fell.
As you can see, it touched me all over again, as I watched the video. And back to the video and Pontiac...

I am honored and blessed to have been a part of this amazing experience. The video portrayed the Walldog spirit with all it's humility, laughs, gifts, strengths,talents, friendships and camaraderie. Thank you Scott. Thank you Pontiac for inviting me to be a part of this experience. You are sooooo worth it!

Judy, you weren't the only one with meltdown. I lived in the midwest cornfields for over 50 years. Been out here for 3 and I guess my system got used to the dry climate. The first couple of days in Pontiac I could barely breath. Took me about 3 days to get used to my old environment. BTW I ordered my DVD yesterday and can't wait to watch it!

yeah, a dixie dawg mentioned something about drinking all that water and not going pee! at that point i was thinking...yeah wow, that's a first for me...

i was truly in my happy place at my first walldog meet...all the fine folks, yummy paint, sonny's hot tunes (yours too, dale!), scaffolding and scissor lifts with my paint buddy felix (brenda)...i know it was stinking humid hot and affected by it...but i was not too much aware of it, if you know what i mean.

i love this dvd...both discs...thanks scott, pontiac, and especially all you awesome walldoggies.
