Heh. (http://z10.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=19250)

The LTW folks would really appreciate it if people would purchase it instead of pirating it.

It cost hundreds of thousands to make the film, and the LTW crew needs to pay back debts to their investors. Think about it this way. A couple of young guys took a HUGE personal risk by financing a film that is critically important to this country and the world. The least that the rest of the world could contribute is $6.95 or $19.95 to help repay the debt and keep the creators out of debt.

As soon as the investors are paid back, the film will be more readily available. In the meantime, do your little part. At LEAST have enough respect not to come in to the Loose Change Forum asking for handouts. The LTW crew has proven their dedication to this cause, and next time you're in Starbucks paying $4.00 for a lousy corporate coffee, remember you're over 1/2 way to the $7 you need to help some great Americans spread the word and change the world.

By the way, thanks to all the forum members who seem to get this!

-Jeff More lulz:

You'd be surprised to hear what things cost. I'm not at liberty to give details, plus I don't honestly have them all. Check this out: UK Preview (http://rinf.com/alt-news/911-truth/loose-change-final-cut-%E2%80%93-uk-premier/1657/) - close to 1 million according to that.

Just the cameras that they use and the machine to edit will set you back $50,000. Think about traveling around the country filming. The 3d animations cost quite a bit. It all adds up.

Don't forget, these figures don't include the many hours the guys spent making it and the salaries they should be making. (ed. - HAH!) Think about it, even if you assume it's 3 people (it's actually more like 6) working full time for a year on the film, and then assume they each earn even a measly $15 an hour, then it's $90,000 just on the salaries they should be making. Now I'm not saying they've taken a penny for it, but I sure think they should, and when you scoff at the cost, I think you're not seeing the whole picture.They're making money by spitting on the graves of the 9-11 dead. They deserve they go into irreconcilable bankruptcy.

I envision it would start out like the NES version of Metal Gear, where you get dropped off with nothing except a glistening pile of tin on your cranium, and your only weapon is your fist that you can never seem to hit yourself with. As you journey the map in search of facts, you pick up media attention here, a group of fans there, and of course, the cardboard box, used not to hide yourself from skeptics and reality, but as your lone source of shelter after your masterpiece bombs like Beverly Hills Cop 3.

As the game continues, you are forced to explain what's taking you so long to your friends and family, who continue to watch you play and play, but never seem to win anything. You don't advance any levels, you don't power up, you just seem to wander around trying to dig a canal with a tooth pick.

Here is Dylan saying, it cost $200-$250K to make the film.

(livefreeordietryin @ Nov 16 2007, 03:50 AM) It's all speculation at this point, for all we know they made it for a cool 50,000$

Dylan: Take that number and multiply it by at least 4 or 5...

Two years, alot of traveling, alot of interviews, and alot of footage to be cleared and paid for.

It will be free as soon as our investors have their money back.http://z10.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=19250&view=findpost&p=14696716

I think the investors never get their money back. And Dylan said 10% of the profits will go to first responders. I guess they get nothing either.

Some calculations:

250 000 / 19,95 = 12 531. They would have to sell 12 531 DVD's to pay back their investors and get even.

250 000 / 6,95 = 35 971. They would have to sell 35 971 live streams to pay back their investors and get even.

Until then, no profits, no donations.

You're assuming they don't have any costs to produce and distribute the DVDs. In fact, they have to buy blank DVDs, burn them, label them, and package them. So the actual contribution margin for each DVD sale is likely to be closer to what they are charging for the streaming download (though even for that they have to pay for the bandwidth).

According to this (http://rinf.com/alt-news/911-truth/loose-change-final-cut-%E2%80%93-uk-premier/1657/) 'article' Tim Sparke is claiming a budget of almost a million dollars. The discrepancy may be something to do with rights for copyrighted material. The Avery Gang may be paying rights to use the material in the US, and Sparke and co may be paying the rights for the worldwide distributions. That's pure speculation though.

As for this being an inflated budget, bear in mind that their 'budget' probably includes living costs for the three idiots and whoever their hangers-on are, for about two years.

I'm sure there are things that are factoring into this budget that one wouldn't normally associate with typical film-making. I have a feeling that's why they are now hard pressed to recoup that money. If the money the "investors" of the film gave ended up going to support LTW's rent/food/etc., I can imagine they'd be pretty fired up to get that back. Now that the film is not hitting the 3000 theaters promised, that could prove to be a difficult task.

That's what I find so humorous about the whole situation. From what I've heard (I've yet to see the film, nor do I plan to), it's a lot of recycled footage, half-assed voice-overs, and slick editing. That it would even get funded in the first place just shows the delusional mind-set of those willing to "give all" to this movement. I have no sympathy for anyone involved. And should they decide to hand out free copies at the next anniversary, I will gladly take as many as possible to use them as back-up coasters.

If Avery is claiming it took $250k to make this movie and that is actually true, the boy's gonna have a damn hard time breaking into Hollywood. Perhaps his being rejected from film school could be seen as a blessing had he used that spare time looking into how to manage one's finances.

Many of us do see it. Many of us ("truthers") have become painfully aware that the so called "leaders" of the "truth" movement are exploiting not only the victims and their families of 9/11 but each and every one of us along the way.

Dylan Avery may be the perfect illustration of this exploitation, but he is certainly not the only example. It is an embarrassment and has led many of us to dissociate from the larger group due to the corrupt faction within.

Agreed on all points except the slick editing part. I'd be interested to read 8den's opinion but from the segment of prologue that I watched, it's anything but slick. A slick editor would have crafted a more powerful/captivating opening than footage of a bunch of blackshirted dweebs gangling self-consciously through the streets of NYC. It's uncool, to say the least, and was IMO so hopelessly misjudged that it allayed all my fears that Avery might actually have learned something about filmmaking over the last couple of years. I didn't bother to watch the rest. Maybe later.

Dylan was suffering from what I propose to call "Pentaconstipation"; taking a very, very long time to put out a crappy video (a la Pentacon Researchers Edition).

Quite the contrary actually....

Many of us do see it. Many of us ("truthers") have become painfully aware that the so called "leaders" of the "truth" movement are exploiting not only the victims and their families of 9/11 but each and every one of us along the way.

Dylan Avery may be the perfect illustration of this exploitation, but he is certainly not the only example. It is an embarrassment and has led many of us to dissociate from the larger group due to the corrupt faction within.

There seems to be quite a long list of those exploiting 9-11 on the truther side.

Given this, what else have chumps like the LC crew and their minions been wrong about?

Perhaps EVERYTHING they've ever said or claimed about 9-11?

Nah. Couldn't be.

And you Troofers, the self-styled independent thinkers, can't seem to think independently of the LC crew or of the greater Troof movement and discern what happened on 9-11 for yourselves?

It will be free as soon as our investors have their money back.
I love the thought of the investors wincing when they find out that Dylan has said this, as his naivete hits them right in the pocket.

The definition of "slick" in my head when I typed that was more along the lines of "crap". I never once meant to imply Avery had an iota of talent when it came to film-making.

One more reason the NWO needs to put mind control chips in our heads, if only to get us all on the same level of thinking you are on.

Depends. If they are investors yes if they are "investors" perhaps not.

Didn't these guys see "The Producers"? If their film sucks enough, then they don't have to pay back their backers because they don't expect anything out of the film. That was their approach with the first few Loose Changes, wasn't it?

Hmm, I think a premise such as in "The Producers" would fly well above their understanding... Plus even if they can't repay their "investors" (Which if you ask me are merely a figment of their imagination), they are thinking more about the jumping off point this "movie" will give them into the real industry. Remember Hollywood loves crack-pot ideas, and shallow stupid people...

Ahem.

Avery was just a busboy
What a sad, sad story
Needed a fresh angle to attain
His rightful glory
A spot on the marquee!
Where could that cash be?
He looked around and then he found
The scam for you and me

And now it's...

Springtime for Fetzer and Avery
Loose Change is recut and gay!
We're marching to a gangsta beat
Look out! Here comes the big excrete!

Springtime for Fetzer and Avery
Bushco can just go to [rule10]!
Springtime for Fetzer and Avery
Watch out, Gravy!
We're going on tour!

Springtime for Fetzer and Avery
Winter for FEMA and NIST!

Come on, Truthers!
Go into your dance!

STORMTROOPER "DYLAN":
I was born in Oneonta
I'm gonna take down Negroponte.

STORMTROOPER "ALEX":
Don't believe Ahmed Chalabi
9/11's an Inside Jobby

ALL:
The Master is coming, the Master is coming, the Master is coming!
Heil Fetzer!

FETZER:
Heil myself
Heil to me
I'm the prof
Who's out to revise history
Heil myself
Raise your hand
There's no greater
Philosph'r in the land!
Everything I do, I do for you!

CHORUS:
Yes, you do!

FETZER:
If you're looking for a cause, here's Oswald, too!
Heil myself
Raise your fist

CHORUS:

FETZER:

THE GOALPOSTS:
The Master exposed the disaster!
He's got those JREFers on the run
Following that son-of-a-gun!
The Master exposed the disaster!
They can't reject his arguments
His great big lies and little hints
He just don't make a lick of sense
The Master exposed the disaster!

FETZER:
I was just a ph'los'phy prof
Not even thought a pastor
Got a phone call from Building 7
Told me I was Master
Avery was blue
What, oh, what to do?
Got really [rule10]
And mangled NIST
Now Iran's smiling through!

But it wasn't always so easy...
It was 2001. Alex Jones was working the cable access and I...
I was pimping JFK. And then I got my big break.
Somebody knocked down the Twin Towers. And, would you believe it?
They made me the Go-To Guy. The Go-To Guy!

It ain't no myst'ry
If it's politics or hist'ry
The thing you gotta know:
You can change it as you go!
Heil myself
Watch my show
I'm the Truther Ethel Merman
Dontcha know
We are harrassing bigshots
The new world order is here
Make a great big Pile
Ev'ryone sieg heil to me
Wonderful me!
And now it's...
CHORUS:

Loose Change is recut once more
Springtime for Fetzer and Avery
FETZER:

CHORUS:
Soon we'll be going...
FETZER:

You know we'll be going....
FETZER:

FETZER & CHORUS:

You might want to go edit that nom, since all that showed up was "ahem."

And you made no comment, so Tricky will likely throw it out as accidental....

Have you added this little treasure to the 9/11: The Musical (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=63415) thread? I think it has an excellent shot at making the A side of the album... ;)

As for this being an inflated budget, bear in mind that their 'budget' probably includes living costs for the three idiots and whoever their hangers-on are, for about two years. Funny that, CGI aside, the small segments I've seen look like they've been thrown together over a weekend. Typos in the credits? Bad sound? No voiceover artist? These guys have been goofing off the whole time...

My thoughts exactly. The "costs" include their "salaries". Frankly, I think they hardly put any work into FC until they heard too many complaints on the forum and decided they had to get it done or lose out. Kind of like the college student that never turns in his semester project until he realizes his "Incomplete" is about to turn into an "F" and he finally throws enough crap together to salvage a "D" in the course.
